"I decided to learn Spanish to make a career in it. The best thing I like about learning Spanish at Academia de Espanol is that both Sir & Ma’m make learning a fun filled experience. Their method of teaching helps students to learn as well as excel & develop a command over the language. They do this through word games, story books, grammar books, translation & interpretation assignments & excellent text books, for each level, written by Mr. Govindani himself. Morever it is not hourly based course but syllabus based course, unlike in other institutes. I have started with a few interpretation & translation assignments through this institute and the experience has increased my confidence. In my opinion, in Mumbai, this is the best place to learn Spanish."
Archana Thakur
"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."
Anshumaan, Student Ecole Mondial World School
"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."
Mahalakshmy Manoj
"My name is Mahalakshmy and I have been studying Spanish through Academia De Espanol for the past 2 years. I am currently pursuing Advanced level of Spanish and I also teach in the academy besides going for private tuitions.What started off as a hobby turned out to be a passion thanks to my teachers and the quality of the programme. The thing that I like the most about this academy is that the teachers who teach the language in this academy are so passionate about teaching, and about the Spanish language that it radiates through their efforts in teaching a student, that a student cant help but get infected with that passion. That’s why the course doesn’t appear as just another hobby course. More over as the academy doesn’t follow a batch system and believes in a one to one training, a student gets personal attention. Plus the number of hours that a student spends in the academy is not counted. They follow the policy ‘If you have the inclination to learn, we have the time to teach. Probably because of all these reason that people don’t just stop by learning a basic level. They willingly go in for further levels. They truly dedicate themselves to help a student learn the language and they go extra mile for that by giving innumerable exercises and work sheets besides the study material. Also, a student can be benefited from their vast collection of books and CD’s, which help in honing the language skills. At the end of the course the certificate that one acquires through this academi is valid through Mumbai university. That makes every minute spent in learning the language worth while. They also encourage students to speak in Spanish and they talk among themselves too in Spanish so that a student gets the feel of the spoken Spanish. I’m very glad that I took the decision of learning Spanish through Academia De Espanol and I’m sure that you too will be."
Comentarios de Keisha Shah
"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"
Shruti Rao
"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."
Riddhi Maniar
"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."
Nisha
"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."
Shruti Vaidya
"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"
Mayana
"Learning Spanish from Vidya Govindani has been a rewarding experience. She takes active interest in my learning and makes the class enjoyable and fun. Her command of the language is outstanding, which makes learning even easier!"
Nihira Joshi
"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 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!!!"
Nitika
"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 new."
Niyati Mistry

I started learning Spanish from Mr. Dinesh Govindani three years back and today I am a successful Spanish teacher in Mumbai.” Student feedback for Academia espanol.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. 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."
Mayank Agarwal
"Hi, 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 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. 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."
