Core
Program
We
have two versions of the Core Program:
Once
a week: Classes meet two hours, or three hours per week
Twice
a week: Classes meet two times a week for 1½ hours each
class
The Core Program of the MESOAMERICA NSTITUTE is designed to allow
students to learn at a comfortable pace yet challenge them to
advance beyond their current proficiency level. The program is
oriented toward building an ability to converse in Spanish. To
supplement conversational skills, fundamental concepts of grammar
are incorporated. The program is structured around ongoing eight-week
sessions with classes conducted entirely in Spanish. The instructors
will help prospective students assess their fluency level as well
as provide ongoing evaluation of the students progress.
