Adult Evening Classes
We schedule evening class sessions for adults four times a year. Each session consists of 10 classes. We meet one evening per week for 10 weeks. Each class is 60+ minutes, except the Advanced classes which are 90 minutes. Our levels this winter include Beginning 1, Beginning 2, Beginning 3, Advanced 1 and Advanced 2.

Our 2012 Winter Session began the week of January 9-12.
You may be able to join one of the higher level classes in progress if you already have some knowledge of Spanish. Please contact us and we'll discuss your options. Our winter session class schedule is shown below.

*The Advanced classes are 90 minutes (6:50-8:20 pm) and are part grammar and part conversation.
Class schedules may be modified to accommodate student needs.
We keep class sizes small to maximize participation by every student, so space is limited. Our emphasis is on quality and class size is 8 students or less. You cannot get this level of student-teacher interaction in bigger schools and universities. Many of our students tell us they tried a class elsewhere with 15 or more students and just didn't get much chance to speak. That won't happen here.
Prices:
The cost per 10-class session is $175 except for the longer Advanced classes which are $225. These are the total course prices, which include the tuition and the $20 registration fee.
More Value: Smaller classes, taught by a native speaker, free audio practice CD for beginners, free book loans for class reading, and free password access to Recursos - our online learning resources for students (at For Our Students). Beginning 2 and higher level classes include our movie series at no additional cost.
Our Guarantee: We’re sure you’ll be more than satisfied with our quality. If that’s not the case and you decide not to continue after the first class, we’ll refund 100% of the tuition ($20 registration fee is non-refundable). Just notify us before the second class.
Books: Students taking a class must also purchase a textbook (cost $15 for Beginning classes; approximately $15-25 for Advanced 1 class; approximately $10-25 for Advanced 2 class ).
If you wish to take a class, please first review the descriptions of our Courses. If you have questions, contact us by phone or email. We'll help you choose the right class and go over the details.
Learning a new language can be fun and rewarding. Our classes are enjoyable and you will find the time flies by. Our normal class schedule includes only one hour of instruction per week, which is less intensive than most university courses. This schedule is designed to accommodate adult students who are managing already busy schedules. That being said, students are expected to spend 1-2 hours weekly on homework involving reading and exercises. Simply stated, homework helps you assimilate the material we cover in class.
Our classes are fun, and you will be speaking Spanish starting in the first class. However, it is of course not possible to completely learn a language in one 10-hour session. Our sessions are designed to accommodate both new and continuing students. We think you will find the classes to be worth continuing for multiple sessions.
Speaking is the hardest part of learning a new language, and the only way is practice, practice, practice. For this reason, the Advanced class is 90 minutes and includes extra conversation.
We also offer private/customized instruction for adults.
