Inarguably the best country for Spanish language study correlates to your travel interests and style. Spain has been receiving students, in particular those at university level, for many decades. There is little doubt Europe is sought after as a cultural and historical mecca of sorts. And few can deny excitement in seeing la Alhambra of Granada, the coast of San Sebastian, the Gran Via of Madrid or the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona.
It’s been a long journey since my first day as a student at CPI Spanish Immersion in Costa Rica, having traveled with The University of North Alabama. This initial opportunity in Costa Rica, thanks to my professor and mentor, Dr. Claudia Polo Vance, was fundamental in helping to open my eyes to a whole new world. Here I should take a quick pause and thank not only Claudia but all those professors and teachers who dedicate their time and spring/summer breaks to establishing study abroad programs, with the goal of introducing young minds to a wider, global perspective. It is such honored work, and they deserve so much appreciation.
When you are seeking to learn or improve your Spanish but are faced with time challenges owing to today’s busy schedules, a perfect option is to initiate the process with online Spanish classes. The advantage is you can start TODAY – no travel necessary.
Some FAQs:
How does the scheduling work for the CPI online Spanish classes?
Scheduling is flexible with classes offered from Monday through Saturday, aligning to your availability. On average, students study twice or three times weekly for 2 hours each session in either our group or private class model. But we have also had students take 90 minutes daily in our private model.
Initiating a new language can seem a bit overwhelming. You may even have the thought, “The more I learn, I realize there is that much more I need to know!” Of course, language learning is a process, and even a life-long endeavor. This is proven by the fact that most of us cannot claim to know all the vocabulary in our native tongue; unless, you are a sesquipedalian? (case in point!).
