-Mary Deskovich, USA - "Livit is a complete immersion into Spanish. More valuable
to the experience than the excellent classes are the lunches together, the one-on-one
guided conversations, city tours, excursions, and many other opportunities to use the
language naturally, making Livit a very unique and great school. This is my fourth
"immersion" experience, but the others were just, "wading" relative to Livit. The
school is spacious comfortable, clean, and the staff is fantastic! If one has just one
place to choose for a Spanish Immersion experience, I don't know why one would
choose any other place."

-John Fox, USA - "The school is very well organized, the guest family was very
generous, and the are many varied activities. Between meals with the family, classes,
and afternoon activities I was speaking more than 10 hours a day. It was the best thing
that ever happened to my Spanish."

-Claudia Stopplemoor, USA - "I had the time of my life! What a great way to learn
Spanish and mexican culture. The owners, Scott & Maru were so helpful. I also loved
my family, so caring and fun."

-Roland Bäcker, Austria - "I have learned in many institutes in Spain and Latin
America. Livit Immersion Center was the only one where I found what I needed: to
learn Spanish. In just four weeks, I've learned more with Livit than many years
combined. The small groups and the personal learning mixed with all the practice
finally helped me to reach my goals with Spanish. I recommend this to everyone who
really wants to learn. Don't waste your time and money with other products or
schools!".

-Anna Windler, Hanover, Germany - I had a great time in Puebla, learning Spanish. I
felt like I learned real Spanish, not like they teach in my university in Hanover. I
have come to Livit now two years in a row for 3 weeks each and can now speak
confidently among Spanish speakers. I've strongly recommended this program to all
of my coworkers, friends and family.

-Helen Prratt, Arizona, USA - "The instruction was both professional and tailored to
my personal needs. A ´working lunch´ (either at a restaurant or cooked at the school )
plus 2 hours with a guide to show you the city or just sit in a café or park and practice
Spanish, gave me 3.5 -4 hours per day of practical conversation practice that is so
important for learning a language and building confidence. I am already planning on
returning to Livit in the future to continue my learning and to visit my new ´old
friends´ I have met here."

"-Greg Hill, Texas, USA - I very much enjoyed my time at Livit Immersion Center.
My Spanish has improved dramatically. I am confidant that I can now understand the
guys I work with and have them understand me. The staff at Livit was very attentive
and effective to my specific needs. The city of Puebla has much fascinating history to
compliment the study of the Spanish language."

-Dale Folkins, Georgia, USA - "The most beneficial language learning experience I
have been involved with in the four summers that I have studied Spanish. The
conversations focused on real language skills, not just grammar"

-Arnold Solof, New Jersey, USA - "This is the 7th time I have attended schools like
this in 4 countries and have never received a better value or had a better experience!
It's an all day fun-filled experience. You really learn and have fun doing it"

-Jody Peters, Vancouver, Canada - "I loved the program and brushed up on and learned
a enough Spanish during my short program to pass a proficiency exam and land a new
job. Thanks Livit."

-Sara Folkins, Georgia, USA - "Personal attention is what Livit is all about. A very
clean organized centrally located facility facilitates learning."

-Cindy Hayko, USA - "The whole week was better than my experience in Guanajuato,
and better than my expectations. I feel very lucky to have found this school, to have
stayed with the family I stayed with and to have met the people I met. Scott and Maru
not only taught me, but made the experience fun, and I truly hope I can return."

-Mark Johnson, USA - "This is a unique program. The staff goes to great lengths to
meet each student's needs. It is a great experience. I will return next year with my
wife.

-Jim Jenkins, Arkansas, USA - "Going into the program, I didn't know what to expect
with regards to the accommodations, location of the school , and modern necessities,
(high speed Internet connections). I was extremely please to learn, that I had the
ability to stay plugged in to certain needs, and still benefit from truly sinking into the
culture of Mexico. The week went very fast which is always a great indication of a
great experience. I have made recommendations to co-workers who have a need or
interest in learning Spanish that they spend a week or more with Livit."

-Tsion Dagne, Ethiopia - "I was embarrassed to speak and talk with people before I
started with Livit. Livit made a program for me and worked with me to lose my fear
of talking and understanding people. I currently use Spanish at work and enjoy
practicing Spanish with my husband and Latin American friends.

-Diana Murphy, Maine, USA - I recommend Livit Immersion Center for anyone who
is looking to learn Spanish in a supportive and stimulating environment. This is the
kind of school that makes you feel less like a tourist and more like a guest in a beautiful
area of Mexico.

-Lee Beck, Colorado, USA - It was an extensive two weeks in which I learned a lot and
laughed a lot. Knowledgeable and caring instructors. Puebla is a great city in which to
study Spanish --not too many tourists.

-Arianna Lynett Tovar, Ontario, Canada - It was great to experience another culture
and live Spanish first hand. I would like to come back to further my learning.

-Jerrold, USA - It was a wonderful experience for a beginner as we were (wife and I).
Useful learning of Spanish at our rate of learning with attentive instructors made our
time beneficial. Puebla is a great city and the school is well run and exceeded our
expectations.

-Helen, Colorado, USA - The personal instruction, varied activities and other services
provided by Livit really enhance the student's ability to quickly learn and apply
Spanish.

-Joan Liwag, Ohio, USA - Livit Immersion Center provided everything they promised
and more. The classes were very helpful; the afternoon excursions were very
informative. I learned a lot about Mexican history and culture.

-Herman Traudes, Holland- "Really great program. I enjoyed everything and learned a lot of
Spanish. I am planning on returning next year for more. I can't wait!"

-Mark Bradley, USA - "If you are serious about Spanish, then the Livit Immersion Center is for
you! My wife and daughter attended the school also, we were all in separate classes. My wife has
been to four different immersion schools. My daughter majored in Spanish in the university and
uses it everyday for her job and has studied at six language schools in 3 different countries. We all
agreed that this was the best school. The instruction and facilities were excellent. We especially
appreciated the small class sizes. We will return."

-Catherine Shoichet, USA - "I cannot imagine a better way to spend two months. The teachers
were excellent. The city is beautiful and I really felt that I was part of my host family. I have
learned so much and my Spanish has improved tremendously. I strongly recommend this program
to anyone who wants to learn or improve their Spanish.

-Arnold Solof, USA - "This is my second time staying at the Livit Immersion Center. The
teachers are dedicated, the classes are conducted at the student's pace and the atmosphere is
relaxing. The homestays, lunches, and excursions are integrated into and efficient, fun, full-time
learning experience."

-Anne Bock, Germany - Of six language schools I've attended in Mexico over my lifetime, Livit
was the best. The family I stayed with was terrific, the lessons were excellent and the excursions
were very interesting. I've learned a lot and plan to come back next year. I highly recommend this
school.
