And the Grand Prize Winner Is…

After Nicaragua, I came to Washington, DC for a job at Peace Corps Headquarters. I kept taking language classes because I love languages so much; I have taken Spanish, French, Russian and Arabic classes in DC. I learned about GLN from a friend, and he was telling me how fun and affordable the classes are. I decided that I would give it a try and took the Russian Tourist class with Anna in Spring 2014. Her class was very interactive and fun. I especially liked that the class focused on practical conversational skills. This spring, I took the Mandarin Foreigner class with Doudou and the class lived up to my expectations- she was fantastic and I learned so much! As a language enthusiast, I have taken many classes with different organizations and I like the GLN classes the most. It is a good value and I find their methodology very effective. Most importantly, they make the classes fun!
I donated the deposit after the class because I really enjoyed the classes, and I agree with the GLN teaching methods and philosophy. When I learned that I won the grand prize I couldn’t believe it. This is the first time in my life that I’ve won a grand prize. I always wanted to visit the Dominican Republic as a fan of DR pop culture. I am excited to visit the beautiful Caribbean island and spend some time around white beaches and the emerald blue ocean while enjoying the sun. I am looking forward to speaking some Spanish too, because my Spanish is getting pretty rusty. I would like to thank GLN for the great courses they provide for affordable price and I’m looking forward o taking more classes in future. ” –Shunpei Iguchi
