The SFL™ System

The American Foreign Service Institute and more than a 100 Universities worldwide have accepted our courses as college credits or have had their students study at The Spanish Institute.

1. Personal Assistance

All our classes are private. If you require the fastest possible learning results, then our online program is perfect for you. The private professor service lets you accelerate your results by giving you a personal tutor. Your teacher will guide you through each step of your course. Your private teacher will give you intensive 1-on-1 speaking lessons, track your progress, and create a completely customized plan, to reach your expectations.

2. 100% Customizable Program

The first step you should take in order to reach your goals is to create a custom study plan. When you sign up for one of our courses, you will be asked about your study preferences, such as how many days and how many hours you would like to study per week. You will also receive on your email a placement test. We use this data to determine your right Spanish level, and to create a custom study plan where you learn what you want, at the pace you want. We even create a calendar for you that structure your studies. We then walk you step-by-step to complete each course in your study plan. Each course includes both interactive lessons and live instruction with our native-speaking teachers. So our online teachers are there with you the whole way.

3. Communicative Focus

Our functional approach to language acquisition emphasizes in using Spanish in authentic and diverse circumstances. We have a "communicative" focus, concentrating on verbal interaction in Spanish.
Part time of the class is dedicated to learning the structure of the language (reading comprehension, grammar, writing, verb conjugation, etc) and another important part of the class to practice conversation, to use it - the key to really mastering it!
You will practice your listening and speaking skills during your classes. Our teachers encourage students to participate actively; listening and speaking Spanish.
Your reading and writing skills are developed through exercises, homework, tasks and assignments that are corrected by your teacher and later on discussed in class.
