FAQs

Learning a new language takes dedication and time. We find that most students, taking 1.5 hours of group class per week, can reach a conversational status (intermediate level) after a year to a year-and-a-half of study. Students in private and immersion classes tend to go faster, but you can't expect fluency by studying only a couple of hours per week. You can increase your rate of learning by completing all homework assignments, doing additional independent study, or even spending a few weeks studying abroad to jump-start your learning. Ask us for suggestions.

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world; more than 350 million people speak Spanish as a mother tongue. The demand to learn Spanish has doubled in the last 10 years. In 15 years, there will be 500 million Spanish speakers in the world. There are more than 30 million Spanish speakers in the USA and it is still growing. Every year more than 55 million tourists visit Spain.

Everyone starts at a different level. We offer an online test with individual follow up, and additional private placement tests as needed.

Most classes occur weekly for 1-1.5 hours.

There is no make-up or credit for any missed group classes.

A Make-up Class Credit will be issued when a class is cancelled with at least 24-hour advance notice. This can be done online. Classes cannot be rescheduled by phone.
