Overview
Our Plus Program is the
most efficient way for serious students to significantly improve their written and spoken
Spanish.
As a
Plus student you receive the undivided attention of our professonal, experienced teaching
staff in a program designed especially for you.
We monitor your progress and adjust classes to focus on your
individual strengths and weaknesses. You
will take a balanced mix of classes: grammar, conversation, culture, with some diversion,
dancing or cooking. We design your program
with classes that compliment each other, so you learn the maximum amount in your three
weeks of study.
The Details
Private Classes Taught
By Experienced Professionals
There
is no quicker way to learn than in private classes. You
receive one hundred percent of the attention of our experienced teachers. Our professors are here to guide you and to
answer your questions. They have many years
experience teaching non-native speakers. If
you have a problem with a particular aspect of learning Spanish, we will know how to solve
it.
Individualized
Program of Study Designed Specifically for You
Because
every student is different, we construct each Plus Program from scratch. If you feel your ears burning after your first day
of classes, it will be because we are talking about you in order to adjust our teaching to
meet your needs. We continue to monitor your
progress throughout the three week program so as to focus on your particular strengths and
weaknesses. For example, some students
require more time to practice pronunciation than others, while other students are confused
by certain aspects of Spanish grammar. We
will help you learn as efficiently as possible.
A Balanced Mixture of
Hard Work and Fun
There
is no escaping the fact that learning another language takes hard work. The Plus Program is built on a solid base of
grammar, combined with practical Spanish conversation, culture, and a single daily class
of either salsa dancing or Mexican cooking. We
find that the cooking or dancing classes, which are the only classes taken in a group,
come as a welcome diversion for most students. By
taking the time to relax, our students are able to apply themselves more effectively in
their individual classes. We also offer
weekend excursions to local places of interest and social events in the evenings.
A
student in the Plus Program typically takes the following classes daily (Monday to
Friday):
Two Hours of Grammar (private). We use our own teaching materials that we have
developed over the past three years. Letīs
just say that we help you to make learning grammar as painless as possible.
Two Hours of
Conversation (private). Our students learn practical, contemporary Spanish. We
want our students to be able to hold a conversation with someone other than their
professors. The more advanced students will
usually discuss history, politics or culture.
One Hour of a Guided
Visit to a Museum, Craft Market or Other Local Attraction (private). This is a great way to learn about local customs
and to put your Spanish to the test.
One Hour of Salsa
Dancing or Mexican Cooking (group). What can we say?
These classess are fun!
A
Coordinated Program
The
classes in the Plus Program compliment each other. You
will get a chance to practice grammar that you have just learned in your conversation
classes. We work to make sure that the level
of Spanish is the same in each class and that your classes reinforce each other. This maximizes the rate at which you learn.
Contemporary, Practical
Spanish
Our
teaching method emphasizes practical, contemporary Spanish.
We know that our students are interested in holding real conversations
with real people. The vast majority of our
materials have been written by our own teaching staff, so you will learn real Spanish. As a beginner, your conversation classes will
prepare you to talk in everyday situations. As
an advanced student, your culture classes will address issues of general interest—politics,
history and culture. Given sufficient
notice, we can also arrange classes related to your particular professional or other
interests--medicine, architecture, pre-Hispanic art, etc.
Great
Value
We believe
that our Plus Program provides a student with an unparalleled opportunity to learn a
significant amount of Spanish in only three weeks.
We invite you to compare our 400 dollar per week charge
with that offered by other language schools for similar programs. Once you do, we are sure that you will agree
that our individualized, intensive Plus Program is great value.
