Where to learn Spanish in Bangalore

Institute of Foreign Languages and Culture: http://www.iflac.net/
A lot of people apparently choose this place to study Spanish, and they have a branch office in Vasant Nagar, on Palace Road - http://www.iflac.net/ContactUs.htm
Here are the profiles of their Spanish teachers: http://www.iflac.net/Instructors.htm 
......................................................................................

Recommended by one of my old MA students, who's been learning Spanish, and has been a French teacher for many years now, so she understands language teaching techniques:

"I am going to Nishita for Spanish lessons. She is almost like a native speaker as she grew up in Spain and did her studies in a Spanish medium school there. She stays in Frazer town now and gives lessons as per the requirements of each person and according to their timings. I have been to other places too and have been very dissatisfied. H

Her number is - 9743208034. "

Info from two people, one of them is my MA student/French teacher who has learned Spanish from her while she was working at TCS, says she's good:

Sonia Chugh: 98866-62541; land 25551693
She teaches at Alliance Francaise.  She is good both at French and Spanish.'
