All Classes Q:    When are classes offered? A:    Our core classes are our day time Target Spanish, ESL, and French classes for any child or adult over the age of maturity to study independently for 45 minutes to an hour.  These are offered as many times per week as you choose.  We also offer small group, semi-private, and private lessons to maximize your flexbility of scheduling and cost - Contact us for more details. Sign up by paying your Class Materials fee online, by phone, or by setting a free in person or Zoom consultation appointment. Q:    Where are classes offered? A:    Most of our classes are held in the Midtown area at our home learning studio although we offer a Zoom option for remote live learning. Private lessons may be requested on-site at your work location. ESL, Korean, Spanish, French I, II, & III Q:    May I join a class already in session? A:    Yes!  You will need to contact us to discuss your specific background and learning goals, but new entrants with the appropriate prerequisite skills are welcome at any time. Q:    We've been studying Spanish/French at home for the past year. Would we really benefit that much more from a class environment? A:    Absolutely!  Language cannot be truly learned in a vacuum.  Language is dynamic, and so should be learned and practiced continuously in an interactive environment.  Most people say their main goal in learning a foreign language is to be able to speak it.  That is why we use the power of the internet, weekly conversation practice, and in-class discussions to constantly improve our students' ear for the language, pronunciation, listening, and speaking abilities.  Most of our class time is devoted to speaking & listening while written assignments will be assigned at home so as to maximize class time and make the most of your tuition. Foreign language grammar is also taught in a complementary fashion to the grammar learned in other classes.  So students benefit from a greater understanding of their first language in the process of learning a second.  Without real-time interaction with fellow learners, speaking correction, personalized grading, critiques, and encouragement, many of the at-home, online, or book-only methods out there fall short of a well-rounded foreign language education.  Just like a gym workout, foreign language can be trained and coached better with human accountability and encouragement. Middle School Q:    How old should my child be before joining the Middle School Spanish Class or French I class? A:    We really like to look at our students according to maturity level, ability, and age as three key ingredients in class placement.  Most of our Middle School students are between the ages of 9-13, but those on the fringes could potentially benefit more from the Elementary or level I classes. Your best bet is to discuss your child's prior language learning and maturity level with Señora Raquel before making your final decision.  Middle School students will be expected to complete homework assignments independently and keep an organized separate vocabulary notebook throughout the course. Elementary & Preschool Q:    My child has never been away from me.  Can I sit in on the class? A:    While you are welcome to preview our classes already in session before your child joins, we find it is best to drop your child off and allow him/her to adjust on his/her first day alone.  I am a mother of two children myself, so I can understand your desire to be with your child as he/she makes a transition, but we find that the children adjust much better if left to sort it out by themselves on their first day. You may stay nearby in your car or on the front porch, and I will be happy to give you an update after class on whether or not your child rallied quickly and began to enjoy the class and classmates.
