"I have been learning Spanish for many years and had many different teachers. Florencia was able to very quickly assess my level of skill and devise lessons to suit me. Her lessons were also very interesting and enjoyable and I progressed so well in a short time that I was able to sit the DELE exam."  Sue

"I joined Florencia's Italian class in my late 50's feeling slightly apprehensive that I would not be able to learn a second language. However Florencia's friendly and encouraging approach, her structured style of learning, her great attention to detail and her obvious enjoyment in teaching languages made it possible for me to grasp a good understanding of written and spoken Italian. I would recommend her language programme to anyone wishing to learn another language." Ann

"Always appreciated the language skills of Florencia but after having different teachers as well, enjoyed the excellent teaching skills which kept lessons flexible, current and tailored to needs of diverse group. Am now learning another language (some of the fear is gone! and my approach is quite different, experience!) as I am working overseas. I would not hesitate to recommend Global Language Services or Florencia to anyone!"   Karen

"I am 28 and studied Spanish with Florencia for two years. She ran very professional classes that catered to the ability to each of us in our small group. The classes were fun and rewarding on their own but the travel experiences that came from my new language skills were unforgettable. Thanks Florencia!"  Beth

"Returning to study French after a gap of 40 years could have been a daunting experience but I really enjoyed my time with Global Languages. There was the perfect mix of fun and learning and it was a really non-threatening environment. In addition to a worthwhile learning experience I made some wonderful friends!"   Val

"My wife and I, both in our 50s and with limited background in languages decided to enrol in classes with Florencia in 2006 to help us prepare for a trip to Italy. We both enjoyed the classes tremendously. Florencia always made learning fun and had a wonderful ability to not make us feel inferior, even when the words failed to stick in our brains. The focus was always on useful conversation for travellers. The end result was that our trip to Italy was infinitely more successsful and enjoyable due to the skills we had learned."   Keith and Trisha
