Spanish Language

What types of services do you offer?

Spanish Foundations: In this one-hour workshop, you will learn the absolute basics of the Spanish language, as well as resources to help you jump start any self-study that you would like to include in your program.  This workshop is recommended only for those who have never taken a Spanish class before.

If you can introduce yourself, say where you are from, and have some Spanish vocabulary words under your belt, start with Level 1.

Level 1-9 Classes: Our leveled classes are designed to bring you closer to fluency through holistic and thematic exposure and practice with the language. Our comprehensible input method helps our students acquire the Spanish language faster by incorporating conversation into each concept.

Our instructors will let you know when you are ready to move into the next level, but you are welcome to audit levels that are higher or lower than your own. We ask that auditing individuals respect the level of the class and not inundate the class with questions or take away from other students’ opportunities to provide answers to questions. 

Conversation Groups: We host conversation groups each week for Levels 2-4 and for Levels 5-7. In these groups, instructors encourage conversation by providing topics and support. Don’t expect a grammar lesson, but feel free to ask questions about grammar, vocabulary, cultural points, etc., if they come up!

Specialty Workshops: You will find workshops based on grammar topics such as prepositions, the past tense, and idiomatic expressions, as well as Spanish for travel, Latin cooking classes, “dirty Spanish” classes (not for the faint of heart!), or a chance to learn Spanish through art, music, film and more.

These are great opportunities to dive into a challenging topic, brush up on one you’ve previously learned, or explore the Spanish language through a different lens. 

Immersion Events: Don’t leave your Spanish in the classroom! Take it for a test drive and cement your conversation skills with one of our other many events.

We host in-person meetups, Spanish-only conversation dinners at local Latin restaurants, happy hours, adult scavenger hunts in the Santa Fe Art District, and murder mystery parties where you’ll have a role and figure out “whodunnit” using the Spanish you’ve learned in our classes. 

Private Tutoring: You may consider private tutoring if you want to move more quickly or appreciate one-on-one instruction. We offer individual sessions as well as discounted packages.

Kids Programming: We offer in person and online classes for kids ages 5+ at all levels, including after school programs and summer Spanish immersion camps. We also offer baby/toddler classes to help our littlest clients start their language journey when their brains are at their ripest for language acquisition! 

International Immersion Trips: We accompany groups of clients on trips to Spanish speaking countries to practice Spanish skills with the 24/7 help of our talented instructors. These trips include adult trips as well as family trips.

Specialty Classes: Occasionally, we offer special classes for people in the medical field, teachers, veterinarians, and more. Book a private class with us and learn the Spanish you need to succeed.
