Below you will find a sample of quotes from emails I have received from former students whom I have taught with TPR & TPRS
(I attribute their successes to these methods not to my teaching)
Jason Fritze, you may not remember me, but I am absolutely excited to have found your e-mail. My name is T. M., well was Munsey, I’m P. now, and I was a student of yours from ’98 to ’01 at Norman High. I had blond hair, blue eyes and I was in both your French and Spanish class. You might remember me because I spent most of my overtime with you studying in your class, and even went back for help when I was at OKCCC. Anyway, how have you been? How is your new school? Well, I guess it’s not new anymore. I saw one of the Spanish teachers from NHS at my old job and she gave me your e-mail. I heard you were doing a lot of conventions and workshops nation-wide now. Congrats!!! I also heard you were in Oklahoma not long ago and I was really sorry to have missed you. You won’t believe this but one of my Spanish professors knows you. Oh ya, I’m still into Spanish, it’s my major. I work as a translator, too! Anyway, the Professor is L.C. Do you remember him!
? I have had him now for like 2 years for different classes and I have him one more time next Spring. At that level all my teachers are the same! He asked how I got into Spanish, and I told him you were my inspiration, and that you opened the door for me to a world of languages. He said you were one of his best students he’s ever had. HeHe. So how is your life? Are you still teaching full-time? You’re in the north aren’t you? I’m good, just studying for the French CLEP I have to take in December to graduate. I haven’t studied French since ’01! But I still remember a lot, and it’s pretty much all coming back to me now. So write me back and tell me all about how you’ve been! Bye-Bye, T.

Hola Prof!
Como estas?? Todavia recuerdo tu email! Estoy en Chile!! Estoy aqui por el verano, pero aqui es el invierno! Realmente, no hace mucho frio, pero todavia, es el invierno. Como esta tu colegio nuevo?? Extrañamos mucho, aprendimos mucho cuando tu estabas de profesor de nosotros. No hablan muy bien español aqui, y es dificil para entender, pero estoy aprendiendo, y es mas facil para entender ahora que cuando llegue. Voy al colegio aqui, pero no es muy malo. La gente aqui son muy amigables, y me gustan mucho. Si tienes tiempo, me escribes otra vez.
Chao Profe!

Hola Señor Fritze! Soy Hilda Beto Chavez Joaquin la Segunda con la Camiseta Bonita o S. B. . Tome tu clase de Español dos hace como 7 años en Norman High School. Mi hermano es el amigo de tu hermano y el me dio su direccion del correo. Solo queria escribirte a ver como estas! Y para que sepas que todo el mundo aqui en Norman te encantan y te extrañan! Eres el mejor maestro de español que he tenido! Ahora, nadie puede comparar!
Despues que tu saliste de Oklahoma, yo fui a Colima, Mexico por un verano y un semestre con una programa que Doctora L. me recomiendo! Despues, estudiaba en Boulder, Colorado por un rato y luego regrese a la universidad de Oklahoma. Este semestre pasado, pase 8 meses en España! Vivia en Castelllon de la Plana y me encantaba a Europa! Ahora, tengo un laboratorio de ESL en Santa Fe South High School en Oklahoma City. Enseño con M. L. quien es mi supervisor! Estudio relaciones internacionales de La America Latina y Español aqui en Norman. Voy a graduarme este verano y me voy a enseñar en Guadalajara por un rato y visitar mis amigos de ahi.
Que tal todo contigo? Donde estas? Todavia enseñas? Espero que todo este fabuloso contigo! Hasta pronto!
Un Abrazo,
Hilda Beto Chavez Joaquin la Segunda con la Camiseta Bonita!
