Self-Paced Course

Intermediate Spanish I

 Build a solid foundation. Learn to communicate with confidence.

 
 
 

Each Intermediate 8-week course will help you build an even stronger foundation in Spanish, and allow you to communicate with more accurate self-expression and increasing confidence.

Intermediate Spanish continues to reinforce skills and vocabulary learned in Beginning-Intermediate Spanish, and we build upon the strong foundation you acquired there! We will be helping you start to approach native-language text and listening with confidence.

Each 8-week course is unique, with different classes that allow you to approach our “high-frequency” (most used, most essential) Spanish vocabulary in different contexts so that you can truly acquire and master the language!

“I have been learning with Nikki for 4ish months now. I have been attempting to learn Spanish on and off for 20 years. Mainly with traditional style methods. I was able to learn a bunch of words but, having any sort of conversations was not likely. Nikki’s style is great. She focuses on conversational Spanish. I learned things with her my first session that I feel I should have been taught a loooong time ago. I’m actually able to have conversations in Spanish now. I am signed up with Nikki through the end of year and will keep going after that.”
