Description

Don’t get older wishing you could speak another language – learn one now and develop it over the years to come!  Being mono-lingual will not be a good look when you start travelling and maybe working abroad.  “Everyone speaks English” is not only not true, but not a cool attitude! Spanish is a “world language”, spoken in Spain, most of South America and also widely in the US.  Can you imagine how amazing it would be to speak Spanish fluently?  You might be heading off to Peru, Colombia, Argentina when you hit your twenties; speaking Spanish will make the trip much more satisfying.  We focus on getting you speaking, understanding the spoken language and building up your vocab…  Spanish is really not that hard a language and you should make good progress!
