The Hardy Recipe
February 21, 2000
Atencion San Miguel de Allende
San Rafael 6. It’s Saturday morning at 9 a.am. The two dozen people who were standing around in groups chatting with cups of coffee find their seats as the Maestro makes his way to a small standing blackboard in front of a large, comfortable room.
“Buenos días, clase. Comenzamo!” exclaims the teacher. He’s a well-dressed, middle-aged man with chiseled good looks and a friendly voice. Warren Hardy has begun another Spanish class.

Jon Tevlin, Star Tribune
Fourteen percent of all sentences in Spanish reflect doubt. Would have. Could have. Should have. An even higher percentage speaks of the past.
I learned that on the first day of my Spanish class in San Miguel de Allende. It was an affirming detail, an acknowledgment that too many of us live in the yesterday, the what-might-have-been.
A gap had opened in our ceaseless ant parade of life, (a house sale; an unfinished condo), so my wife, Ellen, and I decided to take a reprieve, something we’d wanted to do for years.
Group Meets to Establish International Conflict Resolution Institute

Have you ever met someone and realized later that your whole life took a different course because of meeting that one person?
Such is the case in the life of Warren Hardy, of the Warren Hardy Spanish School, well known here in San Miguel de Allende, and his first Spanish-language student.

Romance, Intrigue and Adventures…in Spanish
July 16, 2004
Atencion San Miguel de Allende
Popular legend says that the best way to learn Spanish is through romance or currently by watching soap-operas. However, a romantic interlude or spending large amounts of time in front of the television may not be the favored method for improving everyone’s language skills.
