| Levels
Our
Spanish program is composed of 9 conversational
belt levels ranging from white (complete
beginner) to black (ultimate Spanish
master). The ranks are useful for monitoring
progress and matching you with students
of comparable ability. Ascending through
the belts requires accumulating Spanish
tutoring session time to hone your skills.
Purple Belt, for example, requires the
successful completion of 16 hours on
average. When you surpass the minimum
standards assigned to the next belt
level on all of the different skills
of the language, congratulations! You
are granted a new color belt. |

| Testimonial
Seriously,
I never thought I would be able to learn
Spanish as quickly as I did. The Spanish
Black Belt program was a very intense
program, but it gave me the skills I
was looking for. My instructor, Wendy
Ramirez, is one of the most patient
people I have ever met. She utilized
the right mix of both traditional and
nontraditional teaching methods. I would
recommend the program and Wendy to anyone.
