The following chart shows the general command of the language you will achieve after each course.
Each level will take from 3 to 4 or 5 months, depending if it is private lesson, small group or regular group. We will have a written and oral assessment to best place you in one these. And.. Mucha Suerte!
These are based in the average/recommended monthly total lessons duration of 6 hrs of instruction a month. The level number of hours is higher that the monthly related hours because it also includes your time practicing between lessons
These are duration and goals that I have seen are feasible after 20 years + of experience teaching adult learners.
Trivia: being enrolled for 3 or 4 month courses, and attending 50% of the lessons or less will not meet these goals, but twice as long.
