Course Description and Open Seats
SpoLang creates an environment in which students literally live the language.
REAL-TIME REMOTE Courses for Elementary Students through High School
With a SpoLang Real-Time Remote Group Course your child can learn German or Spanish anywhere.
Students will not be learning alone but in a small group of six participants. The course will introduce your child to the German or Spanish language through various exercises presented within everyday situations.
Once your child’s ability has been individually assessed, your child may begin a Real-Time Remote Group Course Session at the appropriate course level, pending on seats available.
If your child has little to no previous knowledge of German or Spanish, your child will automatically start at a Beginning Level.
SpoLang’s dynamic Real-Time Remote Learning environment helps children thrive and grow. Soon students start thinking in their new language, articulating it, and spontaneously constructing simple sentences.
