FAQ
How much Spanish is used in this class? 
This class is bilingual. We'll use both English and Spanish. The point is to increase Spanish vocabulary, pronunciation, reading and listening fluency using comprehensible input. Comprehensible input is gradually immersing students using context clues such as images, cognates (words that look/sound the same in 2 different languages), and repetitive vocabulary. 

What level of Spanish should my learner have?
We recommend at least 3 months of prior Spanish practice before joining this class. However, if your learner is a strong reader in English with both fluency and comprehension, they may be able to start without any background in Spanish. Likewise, if your student is bilingual in another language, it's possible they'll do just fine without any prior exposure to Spanish. It never hurts to give the class a try!
