TESTIMONIALS

The following quotes are a select few from the comments we receive each week from past volunteers.

“On the first day of my first PI it was a bit hard to believe when our MC said by the end of the week some people will be crying (sentimental tears, not tears of sorrow).  At the end of this wonderful experience, his words were true.  And I'll admit, inside  I also teared up (just a little bit) !”

"Pueblo Inglés is quite simply brilliant! I met so many lovely, friendly people and still keep in touch with some of them. The settings are beautiful, the food divine, the activities great fun and the company great. I would recommend it to anyoneand will be doing many more myself!" 
Craig Martin – Participant August ‘11

"I wanted to tell you that Stephanie had an incredible two weeks at El Avets back in July with Pueblo Ingles.  She made many great friendships  and the experience has helped change & re-direct her plans for her future education at the University level".
John Metzger – Participant Teen Program July ‘11

“Pueblo Ingles was one of the best trips I've been fortunate enough to experience.  I got to see the beautiful country of Spain with all its beautiful architecture and countryside, as well as staying in a stunning hotel, nestled in the mountains.  I met the most incredible people that I am friends with to this day.  This was very meaningful in my life, and I have Pueblo Ingles to thank for it. ”  
Cameron GrandPre (Parker, Colorado) – Participant Teen Program July ‘11

“Pueblo Ingles was the most amazing opportunity for my two sons.  It came highly recommended to us by an Aunt, and the experience couldn't have been any better.  We were kept well informed of their whereabouts, and even spoke to our boys every evening.  To hear their enthusiasm about the friends they made from other countries - not just Spain, was an experience they won't soon forget.  The food was awesome, the team-building experiences were so fun, and they have made life-long friendships.  This was truly an experience of a lifetime and they can't wait to return. ”

“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!”

"I had a fantastic week !
-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

"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

“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

"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

"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 "
