"Throughout my school years, I had taken Spanish classes but never took it seriously. As an adult, I realized the importance of speaking multiple languages. Anita helped me build on what I already knew and helped me to actually speak, rather than just perform on a test. Anita's classes are fun and encouraging--it isn't like school. She puts a lot of effort into creative and helpful ways of teaching, tapping into her student's imagination. Usually I am tired from a day at work when I got to class but by the time I leave, I am energized and wishing I could stay longer. The people that go to Anita's classes are also a big part of the fun and learning experience. Everyone really wants to be there, whether for travel, work, or general knowledge."
