Read what our ex-students have to say about the Academia De Español experience |
||
"Hi, My name is Mayank Agrawal. I would like to share my wonderful learning experience as a student of Academia de Español. I have been interested in learning foreign languages since childhood, and Spanish being the 2nd most spoken language in the world I decided to learn it. I got in touch with Mr. Dinesh Govindani in the beginning of the year 2000." |
||
 |
||
I started off with
the basic level. The fact that Mr. Govindani taught from a
book written by him really impressed me, because it is not
very common to find language teachers who teach from their
own publication. The systematic layout of the book ‘Spanish
made easy’ really made the job easy and fun to learn.
The book has ample amount of vocabulary, grammatical exercises
and pictorial representations which helps in easy understanding
of the language. Slowly, I graduated from the basic level
to the intermediate and then the advanced. In no time I realized
that my fluency of spoken Spanish had really improved. Mr.
Govindani took note of this, and offered me to accompany him
in his work. I immediately accepted the offer and since then
I have been doing various kinds of translations, interpretations,
voiceovers etc… in Spanish. It feels great to be part
of such an ace academy and pursuing such a unique and professional
career. |

| Academia de Español
is better than most other Spanish institutes in the city having
a vast collection of study material like easy to learn audio
and video CD’s, books, dictionaries (technical and general)
etc… collected over the past so many years from Spain. Mayank Agarwal |

At Academia de
Espanol, the beginners and advanced courses are taught by
knowledgeable faculty who are well versed with the language.The
courses consist of two different books that are usually completed
in thirty hours. Each topic is taught very carefully so that
students understand the material and then you are given a
chance to do an exercise in front of the teacher. The teachers
at Academia de Español have a very organized teaching style
and along with grammar and conversation they encourage discussion
about the Spanish life and culture. The faculty also gives
enough handouts so that you can practice your Spanish at home.
Moreover they also persuade the students to only speak in
Spanish during the class |

My
experience with the faculty and classmates at Academia de
Espanol has truly been memorable. Mr. Govindani encouraged
me to continue learning Spanish, read Spanish books, watch
Spanish films and listen to Spanish music. Today I am very
happy that I know Spanish, because anyone who learns this
language can have endless career options. I will be happy
to answer any questions regarding the Academia de Espanol.

|

"I studied Spanish
in Mumbai and further did a course in Barcelona, Spain. It
has been a great experience learning Spanish and like any
language there is always more to learn. Initially I started
learning this language to help my husband with his business
of exports as Spanish is widely spoken in Latin America. We
have been quiet successful in making contacts with the people
there who usually speak only Spanish. I am now working with
Academia de España with Mr. Govindani who is a really good
person and a true Gentleman. Working with him is adding to
my knowledge besides paying me well. I have helped him with
lot of translation like sub titling for movies, story books,
business communication, transcripting of serials and movies.
Every translation job is different and is quiet interesting
and a good learning experience. " |

| Under him I have also started
teaching at British Institute, Mumbai and am taking regular
classes there. I am really enjoying working in this field as
every day there is something newn. Regards, Nitika |

I
am Nihira Joshi, a student of Academia de Español, have been
learning Spanish for 18 months. Experience
of learning Spanish from this Academy is very educative and
useful. The treatment one receives is hard to describe. Mr.
Dinesh Govindani and his wife Mrs. Vidya Govindani have adopted
a teaching style which is not syllabus oriented, but is a
fun and learn oriented wherein the students are made to establish
command over the language through word game, translation assignments
and a very self sufficient text book at each level. I am an
aspiring singer, but I also believe in having another career
option ready in my hands. I thoroughly enjoy learning the
Spanish Language. |

I
would highly recommend people (especially youngsters) to learn
this language as it is spoken and understood worldwide. It
is second official language in USA and highly used in South
and Central America. A job as a Spanish translator and an
interpreter can be very gainful monetarily as well as qualitatively
as one unfolds new challenges everyday.
SO IF YOU HAVE MADE UP YOUR MIND TO GO FOR IT, THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE IN MUMBAI THAN ACADEMIA DE ESPAñOL!!! NIHIRA JOSHI, |

I
am a student of spanish since four months, i have completed
my first level, its really great learning spanish with vidya
madam and dinesh sir. They make me understand the text very well, apart from the text they make me aware about new information relating to the spanish language on the internet, new articles about spanish and other foreign languages. It really feels great to learn a new language, new words and new constructions, as it is said " you should love a language to learn it", my love for this language was generated in this academy Shruti Vaidya |

Academia
de Español has been an institute I relate to even now and
go back to whenever I have questions, queries or simply some
matters over which I need guidance.
Dinesh Sir, has been a constant source of guidance and motivation when I wanted to learn this language and subsequently even when I decided to myself take up teaching Spanish as a profession. It is his constant support that has given me the confidence to explore this new field and extend the same guidance and knowledge to my students. It has been his constant endeavor to enable his students gain as much knowledge about this language as can be possible and he always extends his support for the same. Nisha |

Like a seed that requires the right amount of nourishment from all the sources in order to grow,
the faculty of Academia de Espanol encouraged and pruned me to bloom while I was learning the Basic level course.
Mr. and Mrs. Govindani provided an exceptionally good course material along with constant personal attention.
They made the process of learning so enjoyable and interesting that before I had realized, I was speaking and
writing Spanish well. Their method of teaching breaks from the conventional way of learning by rote.
I intend to pursue the next level of the course too.

I've been learning Spanish for 6 months.
Learning spanish from this academy has been very useful. Because of Mr Dinesh Govindani & Mrs Vidya Govindani
I got the opportunity to teach at the British Institute.I also did some translation job. Above all I got a chance
to go to Argentina Region Centro as an interpretor which was held on 7th & 8th of May in the Taj.
I had a very good experience there. I had always wanted to learn Spanish & I'm glad I chose to join
Academia De Espanol as Mr & Mrs Govindani are well versed with the language. Learning from them is
very educative & fun. As Spanish being the third most spoken language in the world anyone learning it
can have ample of career opportunities.
So if you want to learn Spanish, look no further, Academia De Espanol is the best place in Mumbai. Shruthi Rao. |

Mr. Dinesh Govindani, "Sir", as we all call him lovingly, is the teacher from whom I learnt Spanish.
Although, I was well-versed with one foreign language namely, French, and have been even teaching the French in various Institutions, I was a little apprehensive about Spanish as yet another foreign language. But to my utter relief, learning Spanish from Sir was a joy ride. His style of teaching is unique. It's a blend of fun and seriousness. The learning aids provided by him in the form of a computer disc and the book written by him are very helpful in understanding the nuances of Spanish language. I admire his quality of putting students "On the job" while learning, which is a great moral booster. It immensely helps in building up confidence and makes one more enthusiastic to master the language.
Vidya Ma'am, his wife as well professional colleague is a gem. She is also a treasure of knowledge. Her soft speaking skills and ability to always make you feel at home in the class are great. I always remember her motherly traits when she prods to have a cup of coffee after long hours at the class.
I will remain grateful to my Dad as he was the one who suggested this class. It provided me with an opportunity to learn from Dinesh sir and Vidya Ma'am.

My name is Anshumaan and I study Spanish in my school Ecole Mondial. Before coming to this class I had massive problems in grammar but now they are all clear. The teachers here are very good and kind and I think it?s worth joining this class for Spanish learners.

Hola Amigos
The idea to embrace it as a career hit me pretty late, but I am glad it did. I have always believed in this one-liner... "It's better late than never." After having written in a newspaper for a couple of years, I was looking at a refreshing break. Thus, I put my hands on Spanish and from then on my journey started. Having learnt spoken Spanish before, catching up the language, particularly the grammar wasn't very difficult. "Earn while you learn" is an excellent concept practiced at the Academy. One such opportunity came knocking my door where I was asked to translate something. Then came a teaching assignment, which instilled confidence in me. That marked the start of my liking and serious thinking towards Spanish as a career and from thereon there is no looking back. I would like to thank Mr.Dinesh & Mrs.Vidya Govindani for having given me good opportunities to experiment and excel in them. Their constant support helps me perform even better. Viva Academia!!!
