How can I learn Spanish in seven days?
Our innovative curricula, and focus on good use of class time, help us to make the most of every minute. You will be in class more than 45 hours total; our classes meet for seven straight days: Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The fact that you are immersed into the language (in our classrooms, only Spanish is spoken) means you’re acquiring it rather than just learning it.

Who are my classmates?
Business and medical professionals, government and educational administrators, teachers, and world travelers will be your classmates. The only requirement is a desire to speak Spanish and study its customs and culture.

What will I learn?
As a basic/elementary student, you will be able to speak on concrete topics, give autobiographical information, understand and give directions, handle numbers and generally survive in a social situation!

As an intermediate level participant, you will receive a thorough review of the basics and move on to more advanced structures including the imperfect and subjunctive. Fluency at this level will require a combination of idiomatic expressions and core competencies in Spanish.

As an advanced student, you will briefly review the more advanced aspects of grammar and transition to more complex levels of expression.
