Spanish Adult Classes

Our students are our second family! Don't expect a traditional class setting like your high school or college class :). Be prepared to have fun, relax, laugh, make friends, and learn Spanish! Our small group classes will give you plenty of opportunities to speak in Spanish.

Sessions usually run for eight weeks with 1.30 hr of instruction in each class. More than covering a curriculum and teaching grammar, our goal is to help you apply the class material while speaking and understanding the language. Some classes can cover more or less material according to the student's progress. In addition, we will give you plenty of resources and tips to help you continue practicing the language regularly on your own.
