About Spanish Classes in South America

You will be putting us in charge of improving your Spanish quickly and enjoyably.  Here is the daily structure:

  • Fundamentals Two lessons (one teaching hour = 50 minutes of class time) of traditional instruction, such as grammar and structure.  Max 7 students per group.
  • Recreo  20 minute break for the teachers to re-charge while you enjoy free drinks and refreshments and catch up with other students and staff.
  • Conversation  A class focused only on conversation.  This way you get lots of speaking practice so you don't end up "just good on paper."
  • Field Practice  Take advantage of the "Spanish everywhere environment" by practicing your Spanish with your homestay, at the market, dining out, with your neighbors, etc.

All teachers are college-educated native Spanish speakers
