Schedule - Spanish Classes

While there are many different ways to teach and learn Spanish, we at our Language Institute believe that learning the Spanish language requires the student to instantly be immersed in the target language.
Our Spanish language classes, taught by our skilled native instructors, are designed to build conversational skills.
Seattle Languages International offers different formats and levels of Spanish group classes.
For students with very specific goals, our language school also offers private, customized Spanish language instruction. Spanish private lessons are a good way to learn Spanish quickly.

Spanish for Travelers Class

Unlike most language courses taught, this Spanish for Travelers course focuses its attention on situations that you most likely will encounter when traveling, like meeting people, reserving hotel rooms, buying things, traveling, asking simple questions, etc. With a combination of pronunciation, grammar, free conversation and role play, you will acquire the basic Spanish skills not only to survive in Spanish speaking countries, but most importantly to enjoy your trip in a special way, showing your appreciation for the people, country and culture you are visiting.
