Vamos Academy Canada

se who have never studied Spanish before, need to go through our placement process before their first Spanish class. This allows our academic director to accurately determine the skill level and needs of each student. During the assessment, we also take into consideration a student’s language learning background, as well as other languages they may speak. Balancing the results of the assessment with these other considerations means that students are placed as accurately and appropriately as possible. We believe that the perfect Spanish course book doesn’t exist, as everyone and every group has its own needs, strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes, and we value this diversity. So, based on our extensive experience, we have designed our own dynamic materials to make sure our students master the four main language skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing – as well as having fun while learning. Also, while most of the Spanish learning books on the market are published in Spain, we make sure our materials embrace the unique immersion learning environment and that they include local usage of grammar and vocabulary, as well as customs and culture. Although reading and writing are included in the program, our main goal is to make you feel comfortable using Spanish in real situations of daily life. Classes are taught entirely in Spanish and within this immersion context you will learn to think and talk in the language. By using different teaching techniques we use both the classroom and the streets of the city, integrating both locations allowing you to participate in real conversations naturally and effectively from your very first day, allowing you to learn Spanish fast, effectively and naturally.
