"The beginners Spanish course met all my expectations and then some! Within a couple classes I was able to start putting phrases together and communicate with our employees. I don't know who is more excited; them or me!
I'm very excited to watch our relationships flourish as we bridge the gap between us. I'm looking forward to ditching the translator and being able to speak and understand more on the go!"
- Nicole B, dairy farmer
