Our Method

The Methodology

Based upon the principles of linguistic studies, our method is designed to maximize language proficiency. HISPALIA emphasizes student’s development on conversational fluency and encourages students to practice their new and existing skills in every lesson.

You will be instructed by a team of professional teachers who are native Spanish speakers. 
From the moment instruction begins, you will learn Spanish the same way you did your native language, through: active participation, listening, understanding, speaking, reading and writing.

You will acquire the proper grammatical skills through spontaneous and informal conversation, enabling you to communicate correctly and successfully.
Besides the regular courses, HISPALIA also offers:

• Local Immersion Programs (hyperlink the first 3 bullet points to the ‘courses’ link)
