We encourage students that have an interest and desire to tale these classes to reach their goal as quickly as possible. They will be very beneficial regardless of their reasons for taking the courses. The EAPE offers 3 different levels of learning: Spanish for beginners, Intermediate and Advance students. Each level will be limited to maximum 20 students. These insure good teacher-student relationships.

The different areas of skill development (listening, writing, reading and speaking) are integrated activities to provide a natural learning environment
