Programs: Adult and Children

We have four basic levels of programming for adults: Beginning (no experience with Spanish or English necessary), Intermediate, Advanced, and Intensive. We also have a wonderful program for children. All classes are broken down into 50-minute units, which include 5-minute breaks between units. We have found over the years that a minimum of four-six units per week is best to retain material and progress, but we can work with you to design a program that works best for you.

Lessons by Phone and via Web-Camera
Have a busy schedule? These programs are for you.

Spanish and English Lessons by phone and via an Internet web-camera are convenient, inexpensive and flexible methods to learn a foreign language. You can choose the time and day and a native speaker we will be waiting for your call. Each lesson by phone is 30 minutes in duration and via an Internet web-camera 40 minutes. Each program is tailored to meet the language needs of the student, whether is it is business terminology, education, recreation or travel. Each package comes with a complimentary lesson/assessment. The complimentary lesson gives the student a chance to meet their instructor face to face to discuss their language needs and goals and the instructor is able to diagnose the student’s level. These lessons gives the student an opportunity to practice their language skills through conversation with a native speaker and to improve their skills with the customized lessons created to meet their specific needs.
