TESTIMONIALS

The following quotes are a select few from the comments we receive each week from real-life Anglos.

“I've learned things about Spain and the people here that I would not have learned if I had been a tourist. This programme has so many deeper meanings, i.e understanding people from different countries.”
Birgitta Bergsten – Participant Sep ‘07

“Please extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff for their professionalism, organizational and personal skills. I made many Spanish and Anglo-friends from all over the world and we have started to communicate with each other by e-mail, making future plans!”
Julia Oyman – Participant July '07

"I had a fantastic week in Valdelavilla…..
-who could ask for a more picturesque location?
-who could ask for better company?
-who could ask for better leaders?
-who could ask for more delicious food? 
Fresh air, no traffic noise, dark skies at night.....I could go on but I'm sure you've heard it all before.
The program really does work. I was amazed at how much the Spanish speakers improved their fluency in English during the week."
Chris Olenska – Participant Aug ‘07

"My Pueblo Ingles experience was wonderful. Learning does go both ways! It almost feels like we have been at a retreat or a camp for a week and it has been a very enriching experience. I hope I have been “helpful.”
Shannon Leydon – Participant Aug '07

"This program surpassed all of my expectations - it's hard to describe to others but your slogan of 'More than English' truly describes what I got out of the program."
Marilu Mayuga – Participant Oct '07

"What an incredible experience! Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of participating in this week. The Spaniards were the most warm, hospitable people I have met. It was a very difficult and exhausting week but so rewarding. Not only did we work on English, but I have made some friendships that I believe I will have for a very long time. Again, thank you for accepting me into the program and it is my sincere hope that you will allow me to come back and participate in Pueblo Ingles again."
Deb Turnow from the U.S - Participant March '05

"I just wanted to tell you all how much I enjoyed our week together. It was one of those experiences that one never forgets, and I never will. My only regret was that I didn't stay up partying at night. Clearly, it was the best way to get to know all of you better in a social setting. From all reports, it sounded like a lot of fun. On the other hand, I really enjoyed talking to you all during the day, Anglos as well as Spaniards. What a collection of interesting people!".
Carol Brody from the U.S - Participant July '04

"We had a wonderful time in La Alberca. The setting was a great place for people to explore and interact and was so beautiful, and the participants were such an enjoyable mix of people. This was a most positive experience and I'm sure we'll want to participate again in the next year or so. The chance to interact with Spaniards (and Portuguese) on such an intimate level is an incredible experience and a rare opportunity.".
Pat from the U.S - Participant Aug '05

"I would like to thank you for the wonderful experience I had at Valdelevilla.  The food was fantastic, the accommodations charming and the people lovely!  I have had nothing but good things to tell everyone about my trip."
Tina. Kentucky, USA - Participant Jul '05

"No improvements needed. We were amazed at the level of conversations we were having with the Spaniards by the 3rd or 4th day. We'll be thinking about participating next year.  Our grandson Dan (who went to TEENTOWN) said, "It was the best experience of my life". Thanks to all who made it great for him."
Irving and Joan from Arizona, U.S - Participants Jul '05
