Student Testimonial:
"For years I have searched for an advanced Spanish class that really was advanced. This is the first one that I have found. The Advanced Spanish Media class with Magin Revillo is excellent.

His method includes a variety of readings from newspapers, journals, and websites as well as recent works of fiction. Every class includes lots of conversation and discussion of current events.

We also work on vocabulary and the finer points of Spanish grammar--all in Spanish, of course. Equally as important, ILI has limited the class to students of similar levels--that, in my experience, is VERY hard to find in a language course."
