Welcome to Upstate International

A very positive experience for those who took languages early in life and want to refresh and relearn them.

Randy is very enthusiastic about Spanish and it was catching! He gave me the courage to get out at speak it in public. Thanks Randy!!

UI is a great way to learn without the pressure of college classes with tests and weighted grades.

I am thankful not only for the terrific instruction given in class but also for the congenial classmates. Although several no longer attend classes, we developed a friendship and are still in touch.

Mr. Rivera tried to create a class atmosphere where it was very informal, inclusive and conversation- oriented which made it very effective for me as a student learning a foreign language as an adult.

If the first time didn’t work, she found another way to tell us what we needed to know – the mark of a true teacher!

Monica is an outstanding teacher and created a pleasant and fun ambience which contributed to my learning so much and improving my conversational Spanish!

Atsuko was so patient! I loved that the class was so small, so we all got very individualized instruction!
