Making yourself fluent in Spanish...
  • Beginner 1. The basics: Describing yourself and your friends. Talking about your daily routines.

  • Beginner 2-3. Telling what happened: what you and your family did last week, last Summer and so on. Talking about how things used to be. The past tenses: preterite, imperfect.

  • Beginner 4-5. Un paso más: Talking about your current and past feelings. Putting the preterite, the imperfect and the past perfect together to narrate a story.

  • Intermediate 1-7. Widening your vocabulary. Strengthening your accuracy and communicative skills: Review of/Introduction to some complex uses of tenses and pronouns. Working with the subjunctive to express different kind of ideas. Guided conversations on a variety of topics.

  • Advanced 1-6. Further widening your vocabulary through in-class readings and discussions. Advanced guided conversations on a variety of social and cultural topics. You will review most of the grammar at home. Exercises and some pesky details will be discussed in class.

  • Conversation at La Tertulia. Strengthening your fluency. Free conversation and discussion of a variety of cultural and social issues. Guided conversation and discussion of movies and short literary works. Fine tuning of vocabulary and pesky grammar details.

...with all the flexibility you want or need. The program is designed so you can navigate your journey towards fluency in a variety of ways according to your schedule, experience or learning style. For example:
  • Take it one step at the time. You can take each of the 5 Beginner (introductory) courses, then move to Intermediate (6 courses), then to Advanced (6 courses) and finally to the Tertulia.

  • Go to the Intermediate level after Beginner 4. Skip the last Beginner level and learn commands and other uses of the subjunctive while widening your vocabulary. You will have to do some extra work at home, but your instructor will provide you with guidence and will point to some available materials you can use for support.

  • Go to the Advanced level after only 2 to 4 Intermediate terms. If you are ready for the challenge and like/prefer to study the grammar on your own... by all means, go ahead and jump.

  • Skip Advanced classes. Go to the Tertulia (Conversation) after just 3-4 Intermediate terms. You may miss some more structured progression (provided by the Advanced classes) but the challenge may be fun!
Remember: You will be speaking in Spanish since day one...
