Spanish Course for Heritage Speakers

by: Instituto Hemingway

5 (2)VerifiedSince 1999

This Spanish course, which can be taken online or on-site at our school, is specially designed for heritage speakers who can speak the language fluently but have problems writing it correctly because their education was in English. No matter the origin story of all Spanish skills, heritage speakers have one thing in common: they learned the language as children but, more often than not, have not taken any formal Spanish classes. This course will teach you how to write Spanish correctly with easy exercises. Your teacher will correct your mistakes when going over your homework. You don't have to be online at specific times or finish the course at a specific time. You can study at your own pace.

My Spanish progressed a lot!!

I took and intensive course in Instituto Hemingway a few weeks ago and I would definitely recommend the school. My Spanish progressed a lot and it was fun at the same time because I made friends with fellow students and the staff were really friendly. The social and cultural activities were a great chance to practice Spanish and also have fun…I did it online and met many people from all over the world.

Learning Spanish was learning my origins

I have had only positive experiences at Instituto Hemingway. The instructors are all great. They are all native Spanish speakers and very friendly. The curriculum is well structured. I highly recommend this to any New Yorkers looking to learn or brush up on their Spanish. They are flexible in terms of letting you makeup a class, if you need to miss one. The private lessons are also reasonably priced, so you can also makeup a class that way or just take a private lesson to help you advance.
