Learn to speak Spanish with fluency, accuracy, and confidence!

The CCLS Houston Spanish Program offers:

■ Private or small-group Spanish classes: Students will work closely with our experienced Spanish instructors in one-on-one settings or groups of three to six students.

■ Interactive classrooms: Students will have opportunities to practice their Spanish interactions in a variety of situations that reflect authentic, real-life settings.

■ Knowledge of authentic Spanish: Students will complete the program with an improved understanding of Spanish vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, as well as the skills to navigate everyday interactions in Spanish with confidence and fluency.

The CCLS Houston Method

With the help of the CCLS Interactive Program, students will develop and improve their proficiency in all four areas of language use: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Our Spanish lessons feature a variety of authentic audio, video, and print materials, as well as a heavy focus on classroom interaction.

Our CCLS Interactive Spanish Program is specifically designed to meet the language learning needs of adult and young adult learners. At CCLS Houston, we place a premium on Spanish speaking and listening skills, which students will learn through continuous involvement in interactive class activities, while homework activities will be geared towards the improvement of reading and writing skills in Spanish. Teaching tools include authentic materials such as newspaper and magazine clippings, TV clips, and music videos. Students will experience and learn about both formal and informal use of Spanish and will build conversational skills that reflect real-life, everyday situations.

The CCLS Program focuses primarily on teacher-student and peer interaction. Tasks and activities in the classroom include communicative activities (role-play, question-and-answer, the practice of natural speech, etc.), instructor-guided activities (reading comprehension questions, pronunciation practice, etc.), and exercises to learn and internalize specific Spanish vocabulary and grammar structures. Instructors introduce and explain grammar rules and usage in ways that non-native speakers can easily understand. Students become familiar with the natural dialects of different Spanish-speaking countries through situational dialogues that will serve as a basis for interactive classroom work.

We believe that our interactive, utterly immersive approach to learning Spanish maximizes student learning and creates an engaging classroom environment. We provide the highest quality Spanish classes Houston has to offer.
