We equip you with our exclusive, Clarification Phrases © which empower you to immediately ask your teacher to make something clearer. You are never lost for long!

In addition, a special bilingual grammar book coordinated with the main programs is used in levels 1a-1d for those students who want to do more in depth self-study.

They encourage your questions and are happy to re-teach until you feel comfortable. Comfortable and successful students accelerate. Each class, we apply our years of experience to create mini conversational opportunities so students can orally practice just what they know. You are never out of your depth. Our goal is for your accent to be clear and for you to be comfortably conversational with the language you learn at this level.

13. Spanish for Professionals © “ WeTalkEspanol” THE BEST AND EASIEST CHOICE IMMERSION?? WHAT IS THE IMMERSION APPROACH? An immersion foreign language classroom at Savoir Faire is one in which most of the class is conducted in a language other than English. The teacher speaks only Spanish, for example, to greet you, explain his weekend, to get you started on an exercise. He may use English to clarify grammar points or to reduce a moment of frustration you may be experiencing. He may use English, depending on your level, to discuss a cultural issue as often the level of language required and the subtleness of the issue would be too complicated to be understood in a foreign language alone. The teacher may use one or all of the following methods to help you to comprehend what he is saying: draw, mime, demonstrate, make noises, gesture, repeat, repeat in a different way, refer to something you already know all while carefully watching your body language and your face for lack of comprehension. Savoir Faire provides Clarification Phrases© to help our students participate in the immersion process by learning to effortlessly ask for comprehension help in the foreign language they are learning. This is a valuable skill in the classroom and even more so when speaking with native speakers in a foreign country. WHY IS THE IMMERSION APPROACH THE BEST? Most of our students want primarily to speak and understand the language they are learning. The immersion approach is by far the best way to learn to speak a foreign language because it most simulates an authentic experience. Everyone agrees that going to live in a foreign country speeds up the ability to speak and understand. Our classrooms utilize this well known fact by conducting as much of the class as possible in a foreign language. This provides you the opportunity to acquire language much in the same manner you acquired your first language. As you recall, no formal explanations were required! Though it is easier (at first) to have a lot of English spoken in your classroom, it is not true to the in-country experience that we all agree is the most powerful foreign language experience. If our teachers routinely followed every foreign language utterance with an English translation, you would unconsciously wait for the English. You can see how this would slow your progress considerably. However, we acknowledge that the classroom is an artificial environment and a certain amount of grammar and explanations are needed to help you learn about the language. Learning about the language helps you to monitor your speech for accuracy. But the immersion approach only works to the extent that you understand what the teacher is saying. There is an art to teaching in an immersion classroom and this is the reason Savoir Faire hires and trains well-educated instructors.

14. Spanish for Professionals © WeTalkEspanol THE BEST AND EASIEST CHOICE(2 ) WHAT ARE COMMUNICATIVE METHODS? Our language classrooms are a balance of acquisition (speaking and listening/comprehending) and learning (grammar). We use the immersion approach to get you comfortable being inundated with unfamiliar language and then give you tools such as Clarification Phrases©, meaning cues through pictures, gesturing, re-saying etc. to help you navigate your way through to comprehension. Students want to be able to speak a foreign language better than, they know how it works! Our communicative methods and techniques go hand- in- hand with this immersion approach. If you truly want to have conversations with native speakers you need lots of practice approximating those conversations and lots of practice salvaging understanding from language that goes right over your head. Acquiring a language (speaking and understanding) in a communicative, immersion classroom means hearing and understanding foreign language and using it in meaningful, task-oriented exercises that most mirror the interactions you might really have with a native speaker. The communicative methods we employ to accomplish this include many role-plays, games where real life information needs to be exchanged for success, opportunities for spontaneous conversation with classmates and the teacher and more. You need lots and lots of this aspect of language learning to speak fluently and spontaneously without hesitations and fear. Learning a language, on the other hand, is when you study grammar and syntax and is great to allow you to correct yourself and to be more accurate. Over using your knowledge of grammar can cause you to become paralyzed with the need to be perfect and interfere with your fluency growth. You need much less of this aspect of language learning to communicate successfully.
