These days Spanish is essential
to doing business, whether in the global economy or right in your
own backyard. Bilingual personnel are in demand in nearly every field.
Our programs will give you the Spanish skills you need to succeed.
See our programs below.
Group-4
PLUS Program
This is a combination of 4 hours of group classes (8:00-12:00) plus
2 hours of private tutoring in the afternoon (13:15-15:15). The morning
class will have a maximum of 4 students per group and will focus on
Spanish for everyday use. In the afternoon class, special attention
will be given to your particular needs and interests. Many students
use the private tutoring to improve their proficiency and extend their
active vocabulary through conversation and review.
We can also tailor afternoon
private classes to the requirements of students with special interests--international
aid workers, MBA students, teachers, physicians, managers and others.
For example, classes can include visits to organizations of interest
(i.e., doctors and nurses can visit a major hospital and/or a private
clinic, lawyers can visit a court session and can be put into contact
with local lawyers, and teachers can visit a local school and/or university).
You can also study and practice specialized vocabulary and skills
to help you be able to use Spanish in your own work environment.
One-to-one
Instruction
If you have very little time available or have specialized language
needs, you may prefer to concentrate on Spanish in one-to-one tutoring
sessions. We offer private classes for 4 or 6 hours a day. This program
is available for every level and follows the same scheduling as the
Group-4 and Group-4 Plus programs. Visits can be scheduled related
to a certain profession when you start your study. The emphasis of
this program lies on improving general language skills and, depending
on your needs, on building skills and vocabulary specifically related
to your profession. Included is a language competence report covering
listening and reading comprehension, writing and speaking skills,
and if applicable, professional speaking skills.
