Please note: The start date for the combined Levels 3/4 class has been postponed until September 25.

Spanish is the most widely spoken Romance language in the world, with more than 480 million native speakers.

Level 1: Learn beginning Spanish in a dynamic environment. Through engaging activities, you’ll practice the alphabet, numbers, greetings, gender agreement, simple present tense of regular verbs, basic vocabulary, and more. Designed for those with little to no experience.

Level 2: For those who have completed Level 1 or equivalent, continue building conversation skills and explore new grammar concepts. Topics include ordinal numbers, simple present tense of irregular verbs, expressing likes and dislikes, travel phrases, ordering food, and giving directions.

Level 3: You should already be comfortable with the present tense of regular and irregular verbs and the basic differences between ser and estar. Build confidence with more advanced grammar and verb forms, including reflexive verbs and expressing time, dates, and weather. Begin mastering the past preterite tense.

Level 4: Advance grammar with the imperfect and preterite tenses, pronouns, familiar commands, adverbs, and the uses of se, por, and para. For those comfortable describing surroundings in simple terms and familiar with present and past tense.
