Using multimedia technology, CCLS has designed a unique program that effectively teaches you how to communicate in the target language from day one. Lessons are based on dialogues from everyday situations. You will learn the language as spoken by native speakers, with a variety of accents, and you will be encouraged to think and speak only in Spanish.

The student's material consists of a textbook and a workbook with optional access to a computer-assistance language learning software. Both the workbook and the software are designed to reinforce the vocabulary and grammar studied in class, and they contain listening-comprehension practice exercises.

Classes are offered on weekdays in the afternoon or evening. Classes start year-round. Each group consists of six students on average, which gives you an ample opportunity to actively participate in each class and rapidly develop your conversational skills.

  • 7 levels of instruction in group with a duration of 80 hours each for a total of 20 weeks. 
  • In private lessons, levels can be completed in 40 hours on average.
