## All Testimonials

### City of Oakdale

> The City of Oakdale utilized the services of Workplace Languages in early 2009. The intent was to teach a group of staff members the basics of survival workplace Spanish, so as to better serve our diversifying constituency. We were fortunate enough to have Ed as our instructor, and it was an absolute treat! Throughout the 10 week course, Ed constantly engaged us in the Spanish language without making it threatening. Ed made the learning fun, applicable, and very straight-forward to a group who had very limited, if any, exposure to the language. The services we received were also provided at a fantastic value. We finished the course feeling confident in the use of the language, and all the "students" raved about the class. I highly recommend the services of Workplace Languages!

Logan Martin · Community Development Specialist · City of Oakdale

### Border Foods Co.'s

> We have worked with Ed Rosheim at Workplace Languages for over 9 years now. We have offered Spanish speaking classes for Senior Management Team, our Multi-Unit Managers and Restaurant Managers to enable them to more easily communicate with their restaurant teams. We have offered English speaking classes to our team members. Ed’s passion for teaching and speaking Spanish and the methods he uses make the learning easy and quick. The concentration on conversational Spanish enabled students to start using key phrases immediately.
>
> The return on investment is almost immediate as the entire organization is made more efficient with better communication. The ROI is measurable since the key team members that have taken the ESL courses and then subsequently been promoted are all management team members that would be empty positions today or filled by much more expensive external hires. We also have offered an advanced ESL class for some of our Restaurant Managers and Assistant Managers. Ed listened to our needs and tailored the course specifically to increase the effectiveness of this group within their job responsibilities. The class covered things like doing appraisals and reviews, e-mail etiquette when replying to customer concerns and other basic but essential every day restaurant responsibilities. The increase in effectiveness and confidence among those attending the advanced ESL classes has been nothing short of amazing.
>
> The relationship our company has had with Ed has really added value and helped us towards achieving our goal of being the choice employer in our market.

Instead we were treated to a patient instructor who guided us through some of the basics of Spanish while explaining the importance of communicating in many employees’ native language. Practical knowledge of Spanish as it applies to the workplace is extremely helpful, as I have found, and the perk is that you gain respect for taking the time to learn some of their language.

> I just wanted to thank you for a great experience on my final day at conference. I was not sure which class to attend and made a last minute decision to brush up on my limited Spanish skills. You made all of us feel comfortable in a situation that could be quite the opposite. You will be pleased to know that I am carrying my workbook around with the staff and practicing daily. The staff is loving the opportunity to make fun as I go! Thanks again for showing me a way to gain new found respect from my staff.

### The Stanwich Club

> I want to thank you most sincerely for a great seminar in New Orleans recently at the CMAA World Convention. I found your seminar very informative and interesting; I am a total dunce regarding Spanish and realize even here in Greenwich, CT I wish I could communicate better with my employees. In fact, I would have liked the seminar to have been longer so I could have taken home more. And thank you again for a great seminar.

> The instructors are fun, friendly, and encourage you to challenge the training and expand on the verbiage. Lessons were always reviewed before they ended and again reviewed when the next lesson started. A great experience, better than Rosetta Stone!

> To sum up, I thought the program was great. The pace was good, and I learned a lot of information in a short amount of time. Jessica was a phenomenal teacher who was patient yet productive. If there are any openings, I'd like to run the gauntlet again, to try and get better.

### Outback Steakhouse

> My ultimate goal is to be able to communicate at the restaurant to the Outbackers. I could communicate a little before taking the class, but the lessons with Jessica took me to an entirely different level! Jessica was awesome! She was very patient and it really helped communicating with a live person vs. using a book!

> I wanted to send a THANK YOU for the Spanish reference guides!!! This reference guide is so important to help our teams develop deeper connections; I love that it has translations for questions to not only help performance in the moment, but also personal connections in the moment, also the principal objective translated, and the contents page is so easy to navigate! Thank you so much for your hard, thoughtful work. The size is even perfect because it can fit in a pocket for a true "translation to go" experience!!!! Again, my sincerest thank you for making this tool for us who are looking to connect on a deeper level with our teams!!

> The Portuguese L2 classes I took with Thiago were amazing. He’s a great professor and the dynamics of each class were insightful and fun at the same time. What I liked the most from the classes is that Thiago motivates you to speak Portuguese since Day \# 1, even if you don’t speak the language or if you are not familiar to it. What matters is to try to speak it and of course, Thiago will correct what is needed. I believe that’s the beauty of learning a new language because the only way to improve is by practicing it. The classes helped me a lot to improve my Portuguese skills and, considering that I work with people from Brazil, it will be super useful in my professional environment. I would like to start already with the next Portuguese level.

Max Cruz · Content Program Manager · L'Oréal

### L'Oréal

> Nossa equipe é formada por várias pessoas do Brasil, e o português é essencial para gerar empatia e uma boa proximidade com o meu time. Não só isso, eu tenho muitas reuniões com as equipes locais do Brasil, discussões sobre projetos, iniciativas, problemas, onde precisamos debater alternativas, justificar e apresentar soluções. Nessas reuniões, onde toda a audiência é brasileira e eu sou a única pessoa de outro país, sempre falamos em português, e para mim é essencial conseguir me comunicar com eles na língua nativa. Felizmente, com o uso frequente do idioma e com as aulas de português, consegui melhorar muito a minha escuta, e já entendo quase completamente as conversas. Graças às aulas, tenho conseguido evoluir bastante e cada vez mais falar menos "portunhol".

> J’ai appris les bases du français — cela m’aidera au moins à parler et à m’adresser aux Français. Je suis très reconnaissant pour cette opportunité.

Rupak Das · Director, IT, Ops and Fin, North America · L'Oréal

### L'Oréal

> French Level 2 class has significantly enhanced my learning experience from Level 1. By learning past and future tenses, constructing more complex phrases, and expanding my vocabulary and pronunciation, I now feel confident practicing French with colleagues in informal and short conversations. My listening skills have also improved. I would also like to recognize the outstanding work of Lucie Desjardins since Level 1. Her classes have always flowed smoothly, every question was answered, and she encouraged equal participation among all students, fostering a collaborative learning environment. This inspires me to continue learning and practicing French.

Guillermo Medrano · IT Director · L'Oréal

### L'Oréal

> For me I am extremely happy with my French lessons. It is really amazing to see that I am not that lost. I felt I learned a lot in just a few classes. I liked a lot how you explain everything, it is pretty clear and you explained with examples so it is much easier. I also enjoy a lot my 1:1 tutorials because I have the opportunity to talk a lot and by this learn a lot of words. You do the lessons so fun, dynamic and make us practice a lot. This is very helpful!

Blanca Elisa Ortiz Aleman · Executive Assistant LDB & IT LATAM · L'Oréal

### L'Oréal

> First of all, I’d like to say that this level 2 class has been a wonderful experience! It got a little bit more complicated due to the new topics we review during the class. But what I really want to emphasize is your commitment for always being open to respond to all our questions, even if it’s the same question one, two or three times in the same class! I love your patience to teach and that’s something that make me feel confident about practicing and not to be afraid to speak when is necessary!

> Bonsoir Eugenia, ce fut un plaisir de vous rencontrer et le cours était excellent.

Alejandra Garcia · L'Oréal

### L'Oréal

> The class has been excellent. I’ve learned quite a bit which has gone towards helping me correct my grammar so that my writing, reading and general understanding have improved. I believe the class provides a variety of learning approaches that worked for me. From the presentations, to the videos, and the games, it all helps to make connections on what I’ve learned in the lesson so that I can recall it that much quicker. The class is fun, and Eugenia helps a great deal to make the language accessible. I can see a measured growth under her instruction and tutelage. She’s created a comfortable atmosphere to try, which is important in building confidence.

### L'Oréal

> Antes de este curso, me sentía un poco intimidada por aprender un nuevo idioma, pero tu entusiasmo y el ambiente de apoyo en el aula lo hicieron mucho más accesible y agradable. No solo me has ayudado a desarrollar mis habilidades en el idioma español, sino que también has encendido un interés más profundo por las culturas y tradiciones hispanas. Ahora me siento mucho más confiada en mi capacidad para comunicarme en español y estoy emocionada de seguir practicando y mejorando.

Gail Vinisky · Director of Quality Assurance · L'Oréal

### L'Oréal

> Spanish lessons have been a fantastic experience! What I appreciated most is how accessible the learning process was, thanks to its step-by-step approach. I never felt overwhelmed, as each lesson built upon the last in a very logical way. Furthermore, the emphasis on having lots of conversations and working in small groups was incredibly beneficial. This made it very easy to practice what I learned in a comfortable and supportive environment.

> I've enjoyed the classes with Thiago so much! He is always with such a good vibe that helps everyone to want to try the new language. Even if Spanish is very very similar to Portuguese, Thiago helps to realize the differences and to learn from there.
