Group classes are a blast and a great way to learn Spanish with people from all cultures! Our teachers are trained to work with groups and to get conversations going, even at the most basic of levels. We believe that meaningful communication is at the core of language learning, so we strive to naturally create these situations in class.
Disclaimer: In order to best meet the needs of our students, we limit our classes to pre-formed groups or people that we know will work well together based on their level of Spanish.
Vida Verde is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
We are flexible! Start on any day of the week and study for any number of hours. The majority of students take a minimum of 4 hours.
Classes are 55 minutes in length in order to include a social coffee break to practice your conversation skills and to get to know other students and teachers. On Fridays, the whole school gathers together to play and sing traditional Ecuadorian songs during the break.
After spending three weeks directly at the school, I now do the online course at Vida Verde. And I can really say, this online course is a great replacement for being directly at the school. Actually, it's even better. Because using the computer provides a lot more possibilities and flexibility. For instance: If you don't know the meaning of a word, the teacher can quickly use ``Google`` to find it and show you a picture. Video and Audio quality are really good, so for me it's not a bit harder to understand, what the teachers says than before directly at the school. Exercises and homework are exchanged within a minute and if I have to write something, I can type, instead of writing by hand, which I really appreciate. Since I did the online course I even stopped traveling to Spanish language schools.
