SPANISH LANGUAGE CLASSES:
SA Sucre

Classes are 55 minutes in length. Students may enroll for as many weeks as desired. In order to make sufficient progress and gain the maximum benefit from the course we recommend the following minimal duration: Beginner (2-12 weeks), Intermediate (4-8 weeks) and advanced (2-8 weeks). Courses lasting for more than 3 months will require a visa from the Bolivian government which the school can easily help the student secure.

Please note that additional info (prices, activities, etc) are found to the right of this pages.
