Standard Program: Group instruction, 5 lessons per day, 10 students max per class. Learning is based on the Communicative Approach, without losing sight of the need for grammatical accuracy. Spanish language courses are taught in Spanish and are designed to help students acquire fluency and sufficient communicative skills to cope with any situation that they are likely to encounter. On arrival, students are tested for both written and spoken competence. On the basis of this placement test, they are assigned to the most appropriate level for their own benefit.

Private Program: Similar in teaching style as the group program. This program offers the flexibility of individual instruction for 2, 3, and 4 lessons per day (Monday - Friday). Perfect if you have limited time or want something more intensive. Learn Spanish in Puerto Vallarta
