Spanish Courses
Our partner Spanish Language school offers two types of immersion programs, and both are available: group classes, and individual tutoring (private lessons). All of the Spanish courses, from beginner to the most advanced, are made up of small groups of 1 to 6 students, which ensures an ideal learning atmosphere. The Spanish Language programs are very flexible – you can decide to study from as little as one week or up to as many as you like. The school also arranges special Spanish immersion programs to meet University, College or group needs at any time.

DAILY ACTIVITIES

-9:00 AM to 11:00 AM Students are involved in direct Spanish language instruction with a native instructor. All areas of Spanish language fluency are developed.

-11:00 AM to 11:15 AM
Students go to break.

-11:15 AM to 1:00 PM
Intensive Spanish classes with your instructor resume.

-1:00 PM to 2:00 PM In addition to the classroom instruction, you have unlimited access to our Multimedia Lab (email, Internet, interactive Spanish programs), free of charge. Our students are strongly encouraged to maximize their learning by attending our Multimedia Lab an additional hour daily, though you may use the Multimedia Lab for as long as you wish during school hours. This brings your number of hours to 25 weekly (20 hours of teacher instruction and a recommended minimum 5 hours of free lab time).

Students receive the opportunity to be involved independently with our computer assisted language laboratory. This is a service that will allow the Spanish language student to reinforce the skill areas of pronunciation, listening, reading, and writing at the same time. The students´ individual interests and areas of need are addressed as they work on the area that they choose.

We also offer our students the opportunity to participate in a language and cultural exchange group, which will allow the student to practice his or her new language skills with native Spanish speaking students in a relaxed, informal setting. This activity is supervised by an instructor every afternoon, and is free of charge; therefore adding an optional additional hour of instruction per day.

AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS

Students are given the opportunity to participate in a variety of cultural activities both here in the historical downtown area as well as around the city of Guadalajara. Click here to see extra-curricular activities included in your program (link):

GROUP    CLASSES

Group courses consist of 4 hours of class per day, from 9:00 am to 1:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. These courses focus on reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension of the Spanish language, and follow an established course content structure. Our partner school has new courses beginning every Monday of the month.

PLACEMENT EXAMS  
It is very important to identify the Spanish student´s needs by using a placement exam. Prior to the beginning of courses, a written and oral placement exam is administered to determine the appropriate level for the student. The individual nature of our intensive Spanish program makes it very important to identify the right level of study for each student. Of course, no exam is necessary for those who have never studied Spanish before. All exams are included as part of the study program and without any extra charge.
 

PRIVATE TUTORING  

Our partner school's private tutoring program gives students the option of studying from as little as one hour per day, or many more hours per day depending on just how intensive they'd like their program to be.
