You already know a lot about Spanish, just from living in our modern world. We'll take what you already know (like the word, "piñata") and use that to teach you practical skills with the Spanish language. In our efforts to build proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing the language, we cover basic pronunciation, conversation, and sentence construction. These tools enable the student to get and give information in everything from social contexts to the world of work.
