Experience learning Spanish in a fun, low-stress
environment.
These engaging, interactive classes will be taught using
Total Physical Response (TPR) and Teaching Proficiency
through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS), two methods that
mimic the way you learned your first language. You will be
carefully immersed in the language so that it challenges you
without going over your head. Learn Spanish through
movement, games, songs, and storytelling, and you will be
surprised at how much you can learn in 23 hours of
instruction. |
