Conversational Spanish Classes

Classes emphasize practicing conversation and are at the advanced beginner to intermediate level. We believe that learning Spanish is a process and that you can learn and benefit wherever you are in the process.

“A warm, non-threatening learning experience which melds people of different Spanish abilities together in a fun cooperative educational opportunity of language and cultural enrichment.” (Ann, student).

The fee is $200 per trimester. If you are interested in joining the class, contact La Casa Hogar for more details.
