College students of Spanish on the beginning and intermediate levels have given their feedback on "El Mundo Hispano" after using the site as part of their studies. Their consistently positive responses prove that users of the program on various levels and in different age groups consider it to be an extremely effective tool for improving their reading and speaking skills.

It should be noted that utilization of the program as a learning tool was completely independent of the Academy. The sole role of the Academy was to create the website and make it available to Internet users.

Reproduced below is a sample of the comments that the students have made on the four major aspects of the program: the Site as a whole, the Lookup Features, the Link Pages, and the Review Exercises.

"...an extremely useful tool to build one's reading skills."

Clicking on any word and getting all that information about it "is wonderful!"
