Workshops / Talleres 

Take a Full-Day Workshop or Half-Day Workshop to jump-start your skills, or get back into Spanish after years of absence!
Progress rapidly by taking a Four-Part Series for more total immersion!

Our Workshops are a full day Spanish immersion, combining mini-lessons, verbal challenges, role-plays, cultural material, and lots of conversation.

The chance to sustain your use of the language for a whole day is a remarkable experience. There is nothing like a full day to impel you towards a break-though, and prove to yourself that you can do it! Placed in your appropriate Workshop level, you will be pushed to use what you already know and challenged to develop new skills rapidly through hands-on activities. From learning to identify and pronounce the Spanish language sounds to basic sentence structure; from understanding the verb system to the use of direct and indirect objects; from simple conversation to the subjunctive mode, you will gain skills in self-expression, advancing confidently and rapidly.

You may take the entire Series, or just one, two, or three Workshops. They are carefully sequenced, but you can easily plug yourself in at a level and date that work for you.
 

Each Workshop offers a wide variety of skill-building activities-- and are different every time! You may take any single Workshop or the full series at your level, or any combination of levels or repeats of a level. Many of our students combine the Workshops with Evening Classes or Private Lessons. All our materials work together to help you have an integrated program, no matter how you chose to participate.
