Nashville, TN
Student: 2001 / 2003 / 2004 / 2005

"We have attended Conversa five or 6 times since 2001 for either four or eight weeks each time with about half at each of the two locations. While there are differences between the two, we found the instruction to be excellent and the supporting activities first rate at both. What was probably our most relaxing and vacation like experience was at the school in Santa Ana where we stayed in the Casona. Our fellow students were congenial and interesting companions. We still recall with great fondness sitting on the balcony of the Casona “bringing in” the air traffic at the airport which was easily seen from the balcony. One of our companions had a radio that received the appropriate conversations with the tower so we were “active” participants in operation of the airport. It was a delight living within a two minute walk of our classes and having someone else doing all of the cooking and cleaning. On top of the good food, excellent instruction, and proximity to classes, the weather is about as good as you can ask for when you want to escape the freezing temperatures and snow in the north. Give it a try! You won’t regret it."
