    Evening Conversational Spanish Classes
    These programs provide ongoing intensive conversational Spanish language instruction for adults and teens in grades 7+. Classes are conducted entirely in Spanish. Over the past four years, our students have experienced successes on many levels learning Spanish. Their feedback has led us to increase the duration of our classes to 2 hours per week, which helps ensure sufficient opportunity to "get into the language"and achieve even more success! See schedule below.

    People often ask, 'Which of your classes should I take?' The reality is that there is no one answer. A typical progression is Intro I, Intro II, TPR Storytelling for several sessions, the Intermediate.

    While Intro I is often the starting place for beginners with no prior Spanish, it is also a good starting place if it has been many years since prior Spanish classes, as it stimulates the prior learning. With different ability levels of students in a class, our style of teaching allows both the beginning students to excel as well as the more advanced students to learn from the instructor, and teach by example (one of the best ways to learn).
