Spanish conversation

Spoken by 400 million people worldwide, Spanish is the official language of 21 countries, including Mexico, Cuba and much of Central and South America. Learning to speak Spanish can help you make or strengthen personal connections, deepen your experiences in Spanish-speaking countries and position you for many more career opportunities. 

Our interactive courses are taught by passionate, experienced instructors in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Through speaking and interacting with your classmates while exploring Latin American culture, you can quickly build confidence in your abilities and put your learning into practice in your personal or professional life.  

Offered at a range of levels, our courses may be taken individually or combined with other Spanish courses, including Spanish reading and writing and Latin American culture, to complete a credential. If you’re not sure where to start, read our overview of course language levels to find the appropriate option for your experience and skills.
