It is recommended that you start at the beginning so you will learn to SPEAK  fluently. It is recommended that you take at least two LSF courses to establish a basic level of skill.  Classes are 90% in the target language. Profe Linda is a trained expert in a relatively new methodology called TPRS (Teaching language Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling). We storytell, ask questions, and read in Spanish. AND WE TALK A LOT! It’s fun!
 
1. BEGINNING I - present tense
2. BEGINNING II - present and past tense
3. BEGINNING MULTILEVEL - past tense and general
    conversation in present when applicable. A bridge to
