To Whom it May Concern:

Languages do not come easy to me.

Over the past few years, I have studied Spanish in various settings ranging from organized classroom study in the U.S.,to private tutors in the U.K., to immersion courses in Central America - with varying degrees of success.

Finally I have found Cesar at the Savoir-Faire Language Institute. Not only does Cesar speak the language, but also he has a thorough understanding - thanks to his doctorate in Linguistics - of how to TEACH Spanish to a native English speaker like myself. Thanks to Savoir-Faire and Cesar , I have made more progress in a few short weeks than I have anywhere else, and I have really enjoyed the experience of the language starting to "switch on" for me.

Madam Ouahiba (and director of the school),

Thank you so much for your love and dedication. I haved worked as a teacher with so many other teachers in the last decade, and I feel so fortunate to have Nicole work with you! She loves you a lot. You are so good. She is learning a lot in your class and absolutely " loves learning French". It is very common for her to cry because she wants to "go to French School". Friday morning is her favorite time of the week.

I have recommended your school to so many parents and strongly feel that it is the best thing Nicole is doing right now. I am planning to continue for a very long time.

Best wishes,

Dear Joelle,

I'm writing to thank you for contributing so much to the success of my vacation in the Provence region of France. Your tutoring and that of your staff made all the difference in the world in my ability to speak at least some French in Paris and the south of France. Also invaluable was the cultural tutoring. Your coaching on good speaking manners made people much more receptive and helpful in stores, restaurants, hotels, when asking for directions, etc., and even in taxis!

My learning experience at Savoir Faire added immeasurably to my pleasure in traveling in France. I'll be back for more when I have the opportunity to travel in France again.

Merci beaucoup,

Susan R.

"I started going to Savoir Faire about one year ago. When I began my French class, I was very apprehensive, and thought it would be a waste

of money. And more important, a waste of my time. One year later, I am still here, loving my class. I have not only learned to speak the language a little, I can also read it and now understand the spoken words.

"I have learned so much about the French culture, the people, the cities, and the country. I look forward each week to going back to class and learning more. It is an all encompassing Savoir Faire experience....". LD 1997
