What People are Saying about Speak!
It would be hard to explain Speak! Language Center without describing Christina Ball’s personality. Christina has a rare combination of qualities. She is very much a people person who nevertheless mustered the academic discipline to earn a PhD.
Mastering a language requires diligent study, but Christina understands that language is fundamentally social. Ancient peoples could talk before they could write. You can never master a language if you are afraid to talk to people.
Christina knew that her main challenge would be to break the ice. That’s what she does best. Everything about Speak! invites would be students to let go of their inhibitions and prejudices and “take the plunge.”
