Baja California Language College Brings Spanish Program Back to San Felipe in April, 2008
Ensenada, BC, Mexico – February 27, 2008 – With the rapid growth of San Felipe and the surrounding area, the need for ex-pats to learn Spanish is growing accordingly.
After a two year hiatus, the Baja California Language College returned to San Felipe with a program tailored specifically for its residents. It was brought across the state of Baja California from the Pacific Ocean to the shores of the Sea of Cortez and presented at Rancho Pai Pai just north of town.
The program met with great success and it has been requested to return for a two week-two hour per day program in April, 2008.
The program will begin on Monday, April 7 and run Monday-Friday. The program will conclude on Friday April 18.
Barbara Cramer is the Program Coordinator in San Felipe. She will be handling the course registration and tuition collection.
Based on the response from the classes in November, the April classes are expected to sell-out.
Please set the dates aside and register early. Enrollment will be on a first come-first served basis.
Barbara Cramer can be reached in the US at 651.529.1074.
Her number in San Felipe is 011.52.686.576.0510.

“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.”
