"I LOVE Rosemarie's teaching style of 'mother-ease': speaking slowly and clearly, using songs and illustrating words with games, objects, and other visual aids, all the while speaking only in Spanish so that we are allowed to make the appropriate connections in our brains in an easy-to-understand way, the way a mother would speak and introduce language to a small child to help them understand. Her weekend intensive was such a great brush up on my rusty Spanish, was very interactive and fun and my brain kept waking up to all those words and phrases I had long ago forgotten. I imagine that a week of training (or a month of weekend intensives) with her would have me prepared to travel to a Spanish speaking country and actually communicate my basic questions and needs. I highly recommend Rosemarie's classes!"

Hola, just wanted to take the time to say "thank you, Rosemarie" for the amazing fun class you offered on conversational Spanish. I took your class 6 years ago and recently took a 3 week trip to Ecuador, where my Spanish with you came rushing back...my experience with you made my trip most amazing, with communication quite comfortable. I love your style of teaching Rosemarie, thank you...and here's to all the classes you create in the future...don't ever stop, what a gift you give.

I started taking Rosemarie's Spanish classes a few months before a trip to Spain. I admit I was skeptical at first--her approach didn't sound anything like my high school foreign language classes. However I was willing to give it a chance.
It was a terrific surprise--I was learning Spanish! My new language skills absolutely enriched the experience of my trip.
As soon as I returned from Spain I went right back to the classes. I'm continuing to learn Spanish and enjoying every minute of it!
We sing, dance, play games, and learn!

Despite taking two years of Spanish class in High School I am sadly a non-Spanish speaker. It has always been a dream of mine to learn to speak Spanish so I can better communicate with the families that I work with. Rosemarie came and spent several months helping us learn to communicate. She listened to our organization's needs and taught specifically with those goals in mind. Rosemarie is very approachable and her methods were easy to follow and understand. I highly recommend her and her teaching style to anyone looking to expand or refresh their Spanish skills.

I just wanted to thank you so much for teaching us Spanish, I really appreciate it and hope to work with you again soon, but I've definitely learned a lot from you. I like how you taught especially the numbers with the flash cards and the bingo game. Also the singing really did help me learn. I like how you took your time and would go over everything we learned the last class to refresh our memory and most of all how you made us talk in Spanish the whole time when we clicked. So thank you!!
