"I spend the whole day working with computers so the idea of being able to learn on them as well has always been appealing to me. With Skype installed on my computer, iPhone and tablet, I can pretty much have classes at any time using a variety of means. It is like being able to take my [Spanish] classroom with me. I believe this is the future of language learning and Live Lingua is leading the way."

She is excellent at what she does and a joy to work with, she is a tribute to your staff. Because of her I will continue to purchase classes thru your company and learn to speak Espanol. She is a true professional, dedicated, hard working and always available!"
