AmeriSpan offers Business Spanish Programs for professionals who need to learn the language but are looking for something a little less intense than our Executive Intensive Programs. These programs offer a combination of group and private classes for optimal learning.
The group classes will cover general Spanish using the communicative method. Your private classes will be tailored to your needs and can include specialized vocabulary, exercises and specific learning materials.

Divided by the Tropic of Cancer into the temperate North and the tropical South, the country boasts snow-capped volcanoes, jungle clad beaches, deserts, archeological ruins, modern cities, upscale resorts, and isolated villages.
