What instructors and students are saying

Students gain confidence. Instructors see the progress. These are their experiences, in their own words.

“I was delightfully surprised to hear one of my lowest French III students say she really enjoyed Boomalang and she knew she was improving. Their accents are also better after just one semester. We support you in the desire to promote human to human conversations.”

Sister Marie Geneive

St Cecilia High School (Nashville, TN)

“I prefer Boomalang because it strikes a balance between structure and flexibility. It allows students to reflect on specific themes while remaining open to unexpected moments of discovery. It's not transactional; it's transformational.”

Azlín Perdomo

Boston University Lower Level Spanish

“I had one student who qualified for the Seal of Biliteracy in the spring after only 2 years of Spanish instruction! Amazing. Speaking was their most challenging section but I know that without the practice of Boomalang, it would not have been possible.”

Amy Bartel

McGuffey Montessori School (Oxford, OH)

“Using Boomalang has given my intermediate level students the opportunity to put in practice the language skills they have acquired in the classroom. This experience has increased their self confidence and has demonstrated that they can indeed communicate.”

Nohelia Rojas-Miesse

Miami (OH) University

“My students and I are enjoying so much the conversations in Boomalang! I truly believe that it's a great way to improve their oral skills in Spanish, to raise their awareness of their communicative abilities, to make them feel more confident.”

Sonia Montero-Gálvez

Columbia University

“Incorporating Boomalang into my course was such a simple process; it was one of the rare instances when using new technology in a class didn't require any troubleshooting. I really appreciated how quickly and easily students were able to start using Boomalang.”

Dr. Harrison Meadows

University of Tennessee, Knoxville

“My students loved using Boomalang, as expressed in their course evaluations. They enjoyed 'normal conversations' with native speakers while learning about their lives and culture. It clearly improved their Spanish and helped them become more proficient.”

Dr. Pilar Munday

Sacred Heart University
