3 Some Testimonials For the complete list of testimonials, go to spanish-4-you.com I wanted to tell you what an asset Spanish-4-You has been for Coca-Cola North America.

Hillary Garland Director of Business Planning, Analysis & Insights Coca-Cola, North America Los Angeles, CA What a great experience I have had in the Spanish-4-You program this year. I amazed myself at how quickly I was able to pick up more than the necessary fundamentals of Spanish. I credit this to your well structured program of manuals and materials but most importantly, I think, the success lies in the enthusiasm and dedication that you and your staff bring to class each week. Thanks for keeping the subject matter fresh and relevant. By tailoring the program to meet our specific busines needs you have broadened the ability of me and my associates to better reach a multicultural consumer base, critical to our long term success. Thomas Gray Senior Manager Coca-Cola, North America Los Angeles, CA Thank you so much for the superlative teaching using the Spanish-4-You system. After four months, I am able to communicate (haltingly yet, I admit) with counterparts in Uruguay. The teacher was always willing to change time and venues to adapt to my changing schedules. Her professionalism and kindness were without paralell. Frank Baxter US Ambassador to Uruguay Spanish-4-You s language program is an incredible value and delivers fast results.

4 For the last three years, I have been working with Spanish-4-You to improve my Spanish. I had the basics but needed someone who would help me advance rapidly to a new level of accomplishment. The program has definitely done that. James Thomson CEO RAND Corporation Santa Monica, CA What I have learned from the Spanish-4-You program has been an asset to communicating more effectively in occupational and social environments. I have been able to understand more, respond more quickly, and be more involved with patients as a result. You will be challenged by the curriculum and staff, and rewarded by the results when you apply what you have learned from this program. Robert Morrison Counselor/Addiction Medicine Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles, CA I started taking Spanish classes with Laura in December '08 and I am amazed with my progress. The class materials are excellent and really make learning fun. It is also a huge plus that my teachers are native Spanish speakers. The fact that Laura and her teachers will travel to your home or office is invaluable. I will definitely be continuing my classes with Spanish- 4-You! Susan Schauer Production Producer Mark Burnett Productions Los Angeles, CA With Laura's help, I am now more conversational with Spanish and my husband (who had zero Spanish experience) has now picked up on basic Spanish. As a result, we are hoping to introduce our new baby to the language. Her program is great and we intend on hiring her again for the next level after we settle down into our new home.
