I've been studying with Israel from Spanish Gym for nearly three years, and I hope to continue indefinitely. Meeting Israel for class is like getting together with a friend for coffee and catching up on the world en español. Through our discussions, readings and exercises I feel that I have made great strides in understanding how the language works. I've certainly grown far more comfortable in carrying on a conversation. I was also lucky to be part of a week-long immersion with Israel in his beautiful city of Oaxaca, an amazing experience during which we took in much of the city and surrounding area, speaking only español. ¡Que maravilloso!
