Spanish Language programs
overview
The Spanish language programs offered by Spanish
Abroad, Inc. are designed to enable you to speak Spanish as rapidly
as possible. At our various Spanish language schools, you will
have the opportunity to choose from small classes, individual
instruction, or a combination of both options. At some of our
Spanish language schools, specialized programs are available for
doctors, nurses, lawyers, business people, MBA's, etc.
In the classroom, teaching techniques will focus
on the communicative approach to learning Spanish. From day one
you will begin working on improving your conversational skills.
Generally speaking, the process for novices begins by covering
basic topics such as who you are, where do you live, etc. As students
become more proficient in Spanish, topics may range from economics
to politics. As you explore new topics, you will find yourself
quickly learning new vocabulary and grammar, and how to effectively
use them. In a very short period of time you will find that you
will be able to effectively communicate in Spanish!
Where can you find our

How do we choose our Spanish
language schools?
Spanish Abroad, Inc. looks for countries, or
areas within countries, that will be of interest to our Spanish
language students. We feel that an important part of any Spanish
language or study abroad program includes an opportunity for students
to visit interesting sites within the country where they have
chosen to study.
Once Spanish Abroad, Inc. has identified an area
of interest, we look to see if there are any Spanish language
schools located there. If any Spanish language schools are found,
we contact the school to request as much information as possible.
Following this, the next step is a visit to the Spanish language
school(s) in question.
What does Spanish Abroad,
Inc. look for in a good Spanish language school?
1. Good facilities.
We want to work with Spanish language schools that have nice buildings
where students will feel comfortable and not be distracted by
things occurring inside or outside the school.
2. Great Spanish teachers. We look for Spanish
language schools that have qualified, experienced language teachers.
This is very important to ensure that your study abroad experience
will be productive.
3. A helpful and knowledgeable staff. They should
be able to help you with any kind of question or need that may
arise during your Spanish language (study abroad) program.
4. Spanish language schools that offer either
small group programs or individual instruction. To effectively
learn Spanish, you will need personalized attention. Studying
Spanish in small groups and/or private instruction will guarantee
this.
5. Good accommodations. After a hard day at school
and/or traveling, you need a comfortable place to rest your head
at night. Equally important is to have another setting in which
to practice Spanish. For those Spanish language schools that offer
apartments, etc. we take a very close look at those as well to
make sure that those students staying there will be comfortable.
