The Canadian Institute of Modern Languages (CIML) is two blocks from the beautiful Pacific Ocean. It is also within walking distance of the old colonial city of Mazatlan, and 5 minutes by taxi from the Golden Zone, where most of the nightlife is located.

I came to CIML with a foggy memory of how to conjugate verbs. After quickly assessing the skills I'd retained from my Spanish classes in high school, Marcela structured a wonderful program that focused on my weaknesses in oral comprehension and grammar. We had a wonderful time building my skills and, at the same time, she showed me a new world of music, art and culture in many of the Spanish-speaking nations. I can't wait to continue my studies with CIML, and in the meantime am working on many of Marcela's suggestions to improve.
