Content: Methodology is based on acquiring the linguistic and pragmatic functional aspects of the spoken language along with
an understanding of the socio-cultural elements of the Spanish way of life. In all our courses we study the basic language
skills individually: reading, writing, speaking and listening…then we work to integrate them. In addition to these skills
we also emphasize grammatical structure to help the student reach an optimum threshold of communicative proficiency. Additionally,
to broaden the student's general perspective, we offer the possibility of studying distinct facets of Spanish culture including
history, art, civilization, literature, cinema, and more. We feel that immersion language learning is a dynamic process which
takes advantage of the fact that the students are living within the Spanish culture.
