FAQS
Do I have to know Spanish before taking Spanish classes?
No, you don't. One of the goals of our classes is that you will be able to communicate in Spanish from the first day. That's why our teachers always use Spanish as a way to communicate with are students.
How can I know my Spanish level?
Before taking Spanish classes with us, we conduct a short interview where we can determine your level of Spanish. We will also understand why you are interested in learning Spanish and clarify possible questions you may have before starting classes.
What methodology do you use to teach Spanish?
Our comprehensive method, as well as the personal attention and supervision of each of our students, results in practical Spanish learning.
We know that there is no perfect way to learn Spanish because everyone is different. That is why in our Spanish classes we design our own academic materials.
This allows us to provide each student with exactly the content they need such as grammar, conversation, Mexican slang, culture, specialized Spanish, history, etc.
Are individual classes better than group classes?
What extra activities do you offer to practice Spanish?
We have some cultural activities to practice Spanish in a real environment with local people. They are also an option to get to know more about the city and its social life.
We offer walks through the streets of our charming city and visiting some interesting places such as museums, plazas, tunnels, churches, etc.;, excursions to the mountains and forests; we also organize events like discussion circles, alebrijes design, cooking traditional Mexican food, workshops, etc.
How long should I study Spanish?
Our individual Spanish classes are the most popular for our students.
Individual Spanish classes offer an excellent learning experience. Some students take their time to learn. Other students prefer more grammar than conversation and, of course, there are those students who by profession want to learn technical or specific vocabulary.
The group classes are excellent if you want to interact with other students. It is important to consider that the students should have a similar level of Spanish in each group.
Because the students do not always learn the same, the number of classes may vary. The students should consider these factors:
-
Age and motivation.
-
Prior experience in Spanish and cultural knowledge.
-
Amount of time practicing Spanish outside of class.
Our teachers and academic staff will always be available to give you advice on how to get the most out of your study.
