Language Classes
Did you know Your Language Connection provides private, public, and customized language classes? YLC teachers do more than just teach a language, they build relationships among the students in the class.
All About Language Classes
Here’s What You Need to Know:
- Beginner one is for those who have never had Spanish or had it many years ago and need to brush up on the basics of Spanish. Simple conversational skills are included in this level.
- Beginner two is for those who have recently had a Spanish class or have some knowledge of verb conjugation and simple sentence structure.
- Advanced beginner is for those who understand verb conjugation and sentence structure but are struggling to put all of it together when speaking. This is for the person who can do the exercises on paper but do not seem to be able to get those sentences out in a timely matter when in conversation. We will work on building those conversational skills in typical day-to-day settings.
- The intermediate level is for those who can have casual conversations and would like to improve as well as increase vocabulary and verb tenses.
What You Can Expect

YLC Is Known For…
- Developing individualized course curriculums based on the needs of the students/clients
- Recognizing that most students want to learn a language so that they can communicate effectively — so, our approach is more conversational than educational/curriculum-based learning.
- Having fun while teaching phrases and sentences that are actually useful!
- Exceeding our client’s expectations and becoming their language service provider of choice.
Our instructor is fun and remains professional when instructing or correcting our pronunciation of Spanish words and in sentences. I started this class virtually but switched to in person which works better for me and our teacher plus making some new friends within our class. I am enjoying myself while learning a new language.
