For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits.

While all beginner level students will cover survival Spanish - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Spanish usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Spanish classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Spanish culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Spanish.

Colorado Springs
The Springs, as it's affectionately known by all who hold this Rocky Mountains city dear to their hearts, is located just south of Denver in the State of Colorado and near the base of Pikes Peak. While early travellers were seeking pristine recuperation from tuberculosis in the high altitude and dry air of Colorado Springs, these days there are many more reasons for international visitors to pass through and settle in the city. This means that The Springs is a fantastic place to take the plunge into learning a new language! Sister city status with Fujiyoshida (Japan), Kaohsiung (Taiwan), Smolensk (Russia), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) and Nuevo Casas Grandes (Mexico) ensures Colorado Springs a steady stream of student exchange and understanding between the communities. It also provides an unbeatable opportunity to study a relevant and fascinating foreign language.
