Thank you for visiting our homepage. We offer Spanish and German classes using Graded Reader Method. Our class size is between 2 - 6 students. Our strength is our effective and logical method. We are a student-centric language school. We are conveniently located across Lenox Mall.
Build a strong vocabulary via Graded Reader Method
Adults speak at a rate of 100 words per minute. A thirty minute conversation can involve an exchange of 3000 words. A strong vocabulary ( 2000+ words ) is thus vital to your speaking abilities. With Graded Reader Method, you will build a vocabulary of 2000+ words and a very good understanding of the structure of the language in less than six months. When you speak, you build your own sentences to express yourself. A thorough understanding of the structure of the language will enable you to do so.
Permanent memory and your speaking abilities
Commonly used words and structures must reside in your permanent memory, so that they can be recalled with ease while speaking. In order to move these words and structures in your permanent memory, you need input activities like reading and listening. In order to read and listen, you must have an understanding of the language. Graded Reader Method is a very effective method for developing this understanding.
I want to speak. why should I learn how to read ?
If as an adult you can not read, it implies that your mind can not process the language in front of it. How will it be able to process the language from memory, while speaking ?. Adults do not learn a language like children. Their path to fluency goes through literacy. Millions of foreigners learn English via old fashioned reading. Reading makes your mind fluent. Its the fluency that leads to speaking. Its not the other way around.
A WIDESPREAD
MISCONCEPTION ABOUT LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Our Course Material for Spanish classes
We use Graded Reader series Leer en Espanol. These can be found at CONTINENTAL BOOK COMPANY. Look under Spanish/literature for classes/Graded Readers/Leer en Espanol section. For our basic Spanish course we use Level 1 books. For intermediate classes we use Level 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Once you can read level 4 books, you can read most books and magazines written in standard Spanish. A strong vocabulary is the cornerstone of your speaking abilities. You do not expand vocabulary by speaking practice. You expand it via reading. Once you have acquired a vocabulary of 2000+ words, speaking practice will make more sense.
Our Course Material for German classes
We use Graded Reader series German Classic EZ Readers. These can be found at CONTINENTAL BOOK COMPANY. Look under German/literature for classes/Graded Readers/German Classic EZ Readers section. For our basic German course we use Level A books. For intermediate classes we use Level B, C and D respectively.
If you spend few hours a week using our method, you can be reasonably fluent in the target language in about one year. Native fluency can be acquired in about two years.
