Our 2013 Summer Class Session is Starting Next Week!
Many of our students find summer to be a convenient time to take a class, as other commitments such as school-related activities 
are less. Get ready for your trip to a Spanish speaking country, improve your job prospects and expand your horizons. Make your summer fun and productive, building your Spanish skills! Our evening adult class schedule includes five different levels, from Beginning to Advanced. Take a look at the schedule, then sign up online or contact us so we can get you squared away rapido!
Our Beginning Classes Are Now 90 Minutes
We have upped the length of our beginning level classes from 60 to 90 minutes, matching the length of our upper level classes. We found that 60 minutes just flew by and that it makes sense to go another 30 minutes while you are already here and engaged. While the total session price is more, you get 50% more class time at a lower cost per hour. More value, more learning, one evening per week.
Spanish in Waterbury Center in its 6th Year
It seems like a long time ago when we began our classes in 2007. We would like to thank all our customers for making it possible for us to offer Spanish instruction here in the Green Mountains. It has been a pleasure to see the level of interest and especially, to see students who began learning their Spanish with us and are now speaking wonderfully! We have made a number of improvements each year, and the quality is still the best. ¡Muchas gracias!
New for 2013, we've added free wi-fi for our students. There are some great apps including Spanish-English dictionaries and verb conjugation tools that can be handily accessed on a smartphone or tablet, as an aid during class. We've also added a flat-panel TV that allows us to use our network and online resources to make classes better than ever.
Our Mailings Include Good Stuff!
We started our mailing list to let you know about upcoming sessions, and we now also include short articles on various Spanish language topics. We recently started our Furthering Fluency series, which will cover various aspects of language learning. Past topics have included travel tips for visting northern Spain, Can Siri Teach Spanish, Moving Up the Learning Curve and more.

Spanish in Waterbury Center has a College Board approved course of study for students preparing to take the advanced placement exam in the Spanish Language. Students planning to take the exam in 2014 should already be addressing their AP preparation. Don't feel ready? We can help.
Practice is important, but how to fit it into your schedule? Audio practice! We provide our beginning students with a free audio MP3 recordings that cover the same material as our beginning textbook. Listen in your car, on the bus, during lunch, while working around the house or yard -- whatever works for you. This will help you get the pronunciation right while saving time.
Spanish for "Resources for Students," Recursos is a page specifically for our enrolled students. Here, students will be able to access a variety of resources that will assist them in learning Spanish. Included are web sites, apps, verb conjugation tables, learning tips, how to set up your computer for Spanish, our own MP3 recordings and more. Students can access this page from For Our Students.
Homeschooling & Lessons for Children:
It’s amazing how quickly young children pick up a second language. Natalia is terrific with kids! We schedule daytime instruction at mutually agreeable times. See Lessons for Children for more information.
We help students catch up after a problem semester or year at school. For students that need some extra help or want to go beyond what is covered in class, including Advanced Placement (AP). Every summer we have students that want to get ready for a college Spanish course in the fall, or jump a level in high school. See Tutoring for Students.
We provide private classes for professionals who need to learn Spanish and the specific vocabulary of their profession (such as medical, construction, farming, tourism, travel). We'll design the course to fit your profession, level, and schedule. Please contact us for more information.
Need Something Else? ¿Otra Cosa?
If you don’t see what you’re looking for, by all means let us know. We are always trying to adjust our offerings to respond to our customers' needs. We also do private and customized small group instruction.
