Going To Mexico?

Even if you don't go to Mexico to save money on doctors and dentists, you might go over the river to eat out with other Winter Texans. Impress them by being able to order in Spanish. When you all go to the markets, although many vendors speak English, they give preferential treatment (and discounts) to Spanish-speakers. They are just delighted that you took the time to learn Spanish.

Spanish Course for Winter Texans

Most Winter Texans (winter visitors who spend the winter months in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas) would really LIKE to learn Spanish. Speaking another language, especially a living language like Spanish just enlarges your life. You will get many opportunities to hone your skills and be helped to learn Spanish by the friendly Spanish-speakers throughout the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

There are courses taught by individuals and at the libraries in the Rio Grande Valley (most notably Julieta Ford, who is a good friend of ours), but most of our residents don't learn enough Spanish until nearly the end of their stay to become moderately fluent. Making time to attend classes on a regular basis is the main reason people fail to learn Spanish during their stay here. You could learn a lot from Julieta's couse and then keep up the work with the Spanish coure we recommend.

Roetta Stone is more well known, but it costs several times as much as the Visual Link course. We believe the Visual Link Spanish Course is a better value.
