“The staff at Baja California Language College gives each student all the tools necessary to accomplish their individual goals. If you simply want to brush up on your skills, learn basic conversational skills or become completely fluent, the instructors will adapt your lesson plan to accommodate you.
During my seven months of study, not only did I achieve my goal of becoming fluent, I received something I had never anticipated and something far more valuable. The director, Yoli, and instructors, Dey, Bibiana, Edith, Lupita, Jesus and Reina quickly became a delightful addition to my family. I remain in contact with most via email, etc., and I treasure my entire experience there. I also developed a wonderful appreciation for the city of Ensenada and its population.
The past few years have not been kind to Mexico or its citizens and quite frankly, have been devastating to many businesses which rely on some form of tourism. It's very sad how a news report of some act of unspeakable violence in one city within one state of a vast and beautiful country can destroy a crucial part of Mexico's economy. I have been a resident of this wonderful country since 2004 and live in Rosarito, Baja California. I fell in love with Mexico, its culture and its people long before and for this reason, jumped at the opportunity to make Mexico my home. Attending the Baja California Language College allowed me to become fluent in Spanish and more importantly enriched me as a human being.
I am forever grateful to Keith Rolle for having this program of excellence. If you've been thinking about learning Spanish but have had trepidations because of media reports, please... take it from me: contact Keith and enroll. You will open the door to a wonderful educational experience and when it's all said and done, you may just find yourself leaving with truly beautiful memories that are indeed priceless. This is the only school of its kind in Baja, it's easily accessible, affordable and its reputation is impeccable. Don't miss out on the opportunity to learn this beautiful language taught by remarkable, gifted and professional instructors.
If you're reading this you may be saying to yourself, "well, that's sounds good, but really...can you really speak and understand the language?" Fair question. The answer is yes. I now work as an office manager for a large child and adolescent psychiatric group in San Diego and happen to be the only person who speaks and understands Spanish. I translate everything from basic voice mail messages to therapy and psychiatric sessions ensuring the communication is clear to everyone involved. Seeing the relieved and grateful look on a parent's face when I am able to communicate with them in their language about the care and well-being of their child is one of the many rewards of my job. I couldn't have this experience without the wonderful people of the Baja California Language College.”
Hazlo, si se puede! (Do it, yes you can!)
