“I would recommend Deviani & Liliana as teachers to anyone who would like to learn Spanish”-Celeste Terance, Human Resources, Edmonton
Español Marfil was a wonderful experience that
really helped me advance my Spanish in a quick and carefree environment.
Deviani and Liliana were extremely friendly and accommodating to my needs. I
particularly enjoyed weekly discussion classes which were casual but also
offered an insight into that week's lesson.
