What Students Say

Spanish 4 Changes Life Trajectories

My life has been totally changed — like actually my life course. I know I’d love to do a Discipleship Training School through YWAM. Thank you for instilling that love for missions and a heart for the people that God has made in me through learning Spanish!

Libby

Entering Spanish 4

Thanks completely to you, I absolutely love Spanish. I have no idea how God will use this, but I know it will be amazing. You’ve given me the tools and encouragement to succeed in this language and sparked my interest in every language.

Shelby

Spanish 4 student

Even though it’s a 300-level college class it’s been a breeze so far thanks to five years in your classes, your method of teaching through active conversation, and your emphasis on immersion. I’ve declared Spanish as a minor.

Isaac

Former student, now in college after Spanish 4

I’ve committed to serving at a Christian camp in Bolivia for two years. I already have a strong foundation in the language, largely because of Sr. Riegg’s class and his emphasis on conversational skills. To God be the glory!

Former Spanish 4 student, now serving in Bolivia
