"The U.S. Institute's Spanish courses [Visual Link] and CD-ROMs are some of the very best and most effective that I have seen. . . [they] enable the motivated and serious student to immediately utilize the target language with meaningful phrases and sentences."

-- Dr. David L. Nielson, Ph.D., Professor, Weber State University (Dr. Nielson was recently quoted in the Wall Street Journal as an Authority on learning languages.)

"...Just wanted you to know how much I am enjoying the lessons. I had previously tried learning Spanish from some Spanish tapes, and also had a grammar book, but your system is by far the best. It is wonderful to be able to hear and see the words and phrases at the same time."
-- Joy Outka, South Dakota

"I have tried one or two other courses on cd but yours wins hands down."

"I have just started the Complete Visual Link Spanish Course. In less than three weeks I have responded to letters from a Spanish Hotel in Spanish!

I have tried one or two other courses on cd but yours wins hands down . I feel this is because you have structured the tasks so even someone like me can succeed. Confidence is gained immediately because after lesson 1, I was able to put simple sentences together and speak them .

However, I believe the real power of the course is that it uses different teaching styles to cater for the many different ways we learn. Visualising the words and sentences as well as hearing them is a great help and then playing the games helps to reinforce the learning together with saying it out aloud.

Mucho gracias. Hasta luego."

"Thank you for providing a wonderful course."
"Hi Dave, I purchased the course because I have married into a Spanish speaking family. I have found the course very easy to learn from. My mother in law has commented on how much my Spanish has improved .

I have previously been attending evening classes to learn Spanish, but with only limited success. I feel much more confident in my Spanish now and feel that I am getting somewhere.

Thank you for providing a wonderful course. "

"Whilst I am only on the 3rd audio CD, (7 more to go) I find the exercises they contain and the little tests are just fantastic for being able to commit the spanish language to memory.

    The Interactive CD's are also fantastic. I am impressed that the course caters for not just learning to speak the language, but enables me to write and pronounce the language accurately as well .

Thanks for putting such a great course together."

"I love this program. We live in Mexico and I am with Spanish speaking people all day. I have tried improving my Spanish with tapes and books but with a lot of frustration and lack of structure.

Your program offers everything! The whole program--seeing, listening, reading, and interactive learning in different ways is very practical. Thanks!"

  "Visual Link SpanishT is fantastic!!! I learned more in one night than I did in the two courses I took at a local college. No kidding!

    Your lessons make it so easy to not only learn but retain what you learn with little effort. I also have other tapes I've used over the last few years and they can't compare with yours. Now I know I'll learn Spanish after many frustrating previous attempts.

    Thanks for a wonderful product that really does what it says it will!"
