Krista Muddle, Denver, Colorado

I am elated today, having just spoken in Spanish with my first colleague from Mexico!

Nina’s classes give me not only the proper words, grammar and pronunciation to display conversation but also a demeanor which would impress my new colleague.

It is incredibly empowering to speak to a new partner in their native language, and without classes with Nina, I would not have had the confidence or the skill to do so!

Thank you Nina!”

    “Nina has provided reliable advice that shows her years of experience in communicating between two very different business cultures and languages. My advice now is don’t try it alone. Doing the job right means getting this kind of help from the get-go, when business relationships with Spanish-speakers are just being created.”
