We provide the student with an analytical grasp of the traditions and complexities of the Spanish-speaking world. The rich cultural and literary expressions of Spain and Latin America provide for a classroom environment where students are immersed in intensive language use to build strong conversational skills. Students benefit from a state-of-the-art language laboratory featuring computerized instruction, video programs, and daily newscasts from the Spanish-speaking world. Our location in Los Angeles provides numerous opportunities for students to use Spanish interactively.
