Frequently asked questions
Yes. Parent-teacher conferences require clear, respectful conversation about student progress and behavior. Our program gives you exactly this foundation. You'll be able to discuss grades, homework, behavior, and concerns - the specialized education vocabulary will come naturally once you have conversational fluency.
We focus on general conversational Spanish rather than specialized education vocabulary. However, many teachers find that once they're conversational, they can easily pick up classroom phrases and education terms through their daily work or supplementary resources.
Many teachers can handle basic parent communications within 10-15 months of consistent study. Our small group classes and grammar-based method help you progress quickly, and you can start using simple Spanish with families even earlier.

I found beginners course very helpful, so much so that I registered for level two before it was over. The instructor was approachable and helpful. The structure in which it was taught was smart.

I enjoyed this class very much. I took Spanish in high school and I feel as if I learned more in the 10 weeks I took this class than I did throughout the first year of Spanish. It was accessible location wise, the homework was not too excessive, and I felt comfortable making mistakes and learning in the class. The instructor was easy to ask questions to and always helpful. I also appreciated the seamless way the course shifted to online learning due to the COVID-19 crisis. I will be taking Beginner's Level 2 with the same instructor and hope to stay with the institute for a while.

The course was enjoyable because Nelson explained the language in a clear and fun way and made it relevant to my everyday life. He is very encouraging. I began to be really interested in Spanish and started trying to decipher the notices in Spanish subways and other places. Fun!
