Small Group Casual Spanish Program & Costs:
English & Spanish For All has always made providing Spanish classes for residents a priority and continues to do so. We have recently redesigned our courses and are now offering two different beginner courses for those with different language goals and learning abilities. We offer courses at all levels and continue to try and be flexible in scheduling and customizing the classes to meet the needs of the participants. We are also starting new programs, such as our Mexican cooking class and drop-in conversation classes run on a more casual basis. We can provide classes off-site if requested. We keep the groups small (maximim 6 Average 4) to ensure maximum student taecher interaction time
Group Spanish Classes:
Our group courses take a topical, functional approach to the language so that students can actually put into practice what they learn in class from the get-go. We try to find a nice balance between accuracy (speaking correctly) and fluency (being understood) and our courses generally focus on speaking and listening comprehension in authentic situations likely to be encountered outside the classroom. A cultural component is included in the courses ranging from cultural awareness to local and national history and current events.
Our beginner course was originally designed and offered as a 60 hour block. In our experience many of the residents prefer a more casual rather than intensive schedule and we have re-designed it into 30 hour courses, thereby requiring a shorter time committment. It is usually offered 3 days a week, 2 hours a class, and takes 5 weeks to complete. However, we have run courses in many different configurations and other options are possible.
Costs: The cost for the 30 hour course is 2950 pesos. There is a 250 peso registration fee for each course and all materials are included with this fee.
Casual Private Spanish Classes:
Students choose prívate classes for a variety of reasons. A great advantage is that you have complete control over the content of the course and the skills that are emphasized. The classes can also be programmed around your schedule and commitments. The price for Private classes is $300 p/hr and includes all materials.
Semi Private Spanish Classes:
Casual Semi-private classes are ideal for couples or friends who will work together at the same pace and also require flexibility in scheduling. The price per couple is 350 p/hr.
