LANGUAGES:
OUR FRENCH & SPANISH PROGRAMS
~BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS!
GOING PLACES...
""HOLA!" Parlez-vous Français?" If not, venture out with us to learn the beautiful French or Spanish languages. As both are latin-based languages and two of the most spoken languages globally, they are particularly enriching avenues for you or your child to be further exposed to the wider world. Their latin roots give an enhanced command and understanding of the English language while fluency provides a practical, increased accessibility to a vast array of historical literature, culture, and peoples of the broader western world.
We offer classes for all ages in a fun and relaxed atmosphere that allows for plentiful conversation and real-life application of the vocabulary and concepts covered. Our method is a semi-immersion style that incorporate fun songs, familiar stories, and everyday tasks and activities that make the material useful and relevant. We succeed only when you discover that you really can express yourself easily and clearly in your chosen language!
Furthermore, students who study with us for 2 or more years are invited to put their skills to the test and travel to France , Quebec, or Spain with us on wonderfully exciting (and surprisingly economical ) class trips that we take to every other year!
