OUR WAY OF TEACHING SPANISH
Classes for the intensive program start every week on Monday throughout the year. Our start dates are flexible, so you can commence your course whenever is convenient for you. We also provide flexibility on duration of the course, whether you want to study for one week, two weeks, five weeks, or more.
Students are assessed according to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) standards. Assessments are done to determine the student's ability in the language, their proficiency level, and their communicative competence. The assessment is done through a combination of written test & oral assessment, after the assessment, the student is placed in the appropriate level and class with other students who have similar levels of Spanish fluency, age, and background. Depending on the student's progress, they may move up or down. Students are placed in small classes of no more than 5 students "Group 5 System".
Our experienced Professors create a comfortable and engaging learning environment where students can ask questions, practice speaking, and be challenged. Classes focus on conversation, grammar, and cultural understanding, as well as specialized topics related to the interests of the students. We also offer extra help with homework and provide resources and materials for self-study. Students will have the opportunity to practice what they learn in real-world situations, such as visits to local markets, museums, and other sites. Our program is designed to give students the opportunity to make rapid progress in their Spanish learning.

1914 translation by H. Rackham
"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
Guacamole is undoubtedly one of Mexico’s most popular dishes,
but few people know that this traditional sauce dates back to the time of the Aztecs.
Made from mashed-up avocadoes, onions, tomatoes, lemon juice and chilli peppers
(and sometimes a clove or two of garlic), guacamole is often eaten with tortilla chips or used as a side dish.
