The La Casita Spanish Language School has been running for four years. The school has proven to be extremely successful both in introducing beginners to the spanish language as well as strengthening any existing language skills. Much of the success of the school is due to students not only being tutored in spanish but having the opportunity to live in a chilean family environment. This gives the student the opportunity to not only acquire spanish language skills but to gain an understanding and appreciation of chilean and, as a result, south american culture.
Our courses include work-pronunciation practice, vocabulary building, writing skills, grammar revision, homework, evaluation and other extra activities to enable you to speak the language in the shortest time possible
