Learning must be fun! If children are not engaged, what is the point in trying to teach them? Every live class includes games and movement run by teachers who are passionate and skilled in making education FUN! Every class also includes an exciting cultural mini-lessons to keep children motivated and excited for their own future Spanish-speaking adventures!

Beginner (first year)

• The first half of this year is spent helping students build up a solid foundation of the basics.
• With those basics, we start to dive into more and more immersion challenges, using repetition, visual cues and acting to build strong connections to the most common and important words and phrases in any language! Grammar is learned totally naturally through lots and lots of repetition.

Upper beginner (second year)

• Deeper immersion through games, books and listening and speaking challenges to continue building those connections. 
• Beginning to learn more complicated grammar, like how to understand and speak about the past in Spanish and use more complex verbs. We occasionally break into ‘grammar mini-lessons’ here to help our more analytical learners, but then it is back to immersion and repetition for a more natural language acquisition experience.

Intermediate (third year)

• Continuation of last year, focusing on the most difficult of Spanish concepts with a similar philosophy of grammar mini-lessons as introductions followed by instruction for natural acquisition through repetition and immersion. Students are at a point now where we can have more detailed conversations, begin debating in Spanish, watch and listen to very challenging authentic resources and more.

Year Four and beyond

• 100% immersion. Games, conversations and authentic cultural resources reach the advanced level.
• As the program grows, we hope to be able to offer virtual international language exchange programs.
• Travel opportunities are also a future possibility for older students or students with their families if desired.

Classes meet twice per week for 30-minutes each session. Each school year is comprised of two 18-week semesters. There are a few holiday breaks around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Besides that, families can choose to go on vacation or take breaks when they need to and are encouraged to watch the recordings of any classes that they miss. 

See Pricing table

All live classes happen over Zoom. If you miss a class, you will have access to a private folder with all of the class recordings of the last two weeks that you can watch on your own time.

Instead of homework, we provide weekly extra practices. Sometimes these are a simple as practicing counting to 100 in Spanish and other times they involve making videos to practice a certain conversation topic. They are optional, but highly recommended and extremely beneficial.

This is not at all a passive class for students. Students are directly involved in every single activity, can raise their hand to ask a question at any time and will get speaking opportunities every class. We do lots of games and movement breaks as well. Even during listening and immersion activities, there is always an active role for students, such as acting, showing a thumb up or down, showing a certain number of fingers based on prompts, etc. Our classes are all about making Spanish as fun as possible to keep children excited and engaged! 

No parent involvement is required at all. For very young children, like 4 and 5-year-olds, depending on how they are doing in class, we may reach out via email and ask that you check in on your child once or twice during the zoom call, but this is rarely necessary.
