Transparent Connect uses a combination of technology and personal instruction to deliver a complete Spanish learning experience. This blended learning approach ensures your success and maximizes the return on your investment of time and money. By the end of the course, you will have acquired a solid foundation in the vocabulary, grammar, and cultural background of the Spanish language.
An experienced Spanish teacher will deliver 18 hours of comprehensive lessons over 6 weeks. Each lesson covers:
Lessons are held twice per week in an online classroom and will be recorded and archived for additional review or make-ups of missed sessions. These lessons are not one-way lectures broadcast to a large audience; they are highly engaging, participatory classes. You will get to know your teacher, and more important, your teacher will get to know you.
Your teacher will review your progress, set additional assignments for you, and answer any questions about the course and the Spanish language. You will receive feedback throughout the course, so that you know what areas or skills you need to improve and how.
Transparent Language uses proprietary, leading-edge instructional technology to give you an interactive learning experience inside and outside of classroom hours. Our online learning system takes a practical approach, so that you are always focusing on the next most useful language concepts and activities. A rich array of online resources complements the classroom curriculum, allowing you to build your skills and confidence throughout the course and beyond.
Our limited class sizes allow for close interaction with the instructor during and after class sessions, maximizing the opportunities for learning and language practice. You will have time to collaborate with other learners who are at your same level, under the guidance of your teacher.
This program includes 6 months of access to online materials, as well as archived classes, so that learners continue to build skills after the last instructional session. It also includes free access to our proprietary iPhone and Android mobile learning applications.
Build your resume and showcase your strengths with official certification. At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion that validates your language level proficiency.
