Editing Error Means 2006 Prices for 2007 Classes
Ensenada, BC, Mexico – January 29, 2007 - A typographical oversight is allowing some Spanish immersion students to enroll in classes this year, but pay last year’s prices.
"Late last year we had several thousand copies of 2007 promotional literature printed with the old prices. The 2007 literature had the 2006 prices,” explained Baja California Language College president, Keith Rolle. "To avoid confusion, we will continue to honor the 2006 prices until July 1, 2007."
This can mean substantial savings for students who enroll before the deadline. Students who have applications and deposits postmarked before July 1, 2007 will pay the 2006 prices.
The price list on the website is current.
Prices will be updated on July 1, 2007.
“I am a 56 yrs old female and have a Family Practice clinic in Florida. In 2010 I wanted to learn medical Spanish to assist the patients who visit my clinic from the USA and from abroad as I am located in a prime tourist. My previous background in Spanish was just one year of high school Spanish and I could only say a few phrases. After my first week at the Baja California Language College, and living with a host family, I was able to start talking in phrases to my patients with minimal use of a telephone translation service. After my second week of immersion 6 months later, I now rarely use a medical translation service with my Spanish patients and have even picked up some Portuguese phrases.
I am not always perfect in my conjugations and still have to ask “Como se dice… (how do you say….) sometimes, but my patients really appreciate my efforts and I am complimented on my Spanish language abilities! I have found that just attempting to talk in someone else’s language is a huge gesture of good will, and the way that I have gotten even better is to not be afraid to try! If someone is bilingual, it is better to approach them in their native language, and they also will give me invaluable feedback on my pronunciation and vocabulary when I ask them to please let me talk to them in Spanish for my own practice.
The travel to and from Ensenada, Baja California Mexico was very safe – I flew into San Diego and took all public transportation BY MYSELF each time. I walked through USA customs/bridge in and out of Tijuana and walked to the ABC bus station. In nice weather, I would walk the 3 miles from my host family’s home, or get a ride from them for a nominal cost. I also walked a lot around the town when not in school just to see the fabulous scenery. I would use an internet café a few blocks away from the house that I was staying in into the evening. The host families are all very nice with excellent meals and accommodations.
I would highly recommend this program to anyone of any age.”
