SUMMER 2008 Spanish classes (Summer 2008 Schedule)Level descriptionsEach of Dígame's class levels has its own set of goals & objectives which are the focus of the twelve class meetings. Students meet those goals through regular homework assignments, and by receiving the conversation practice and teacher attention that only small group learning can offer.
PlacementDígame's intimate class size (limit 6), makes it essential that all students in a given group are as compatible in terms of ability as possible. All students other than total beginners need to schedule a placement evaluation to determine their level. Evaluation scheduling is very flexible and the process is quick (30 minutes) and free. Here is a brief synopsis of our level system: Level 1 beginning students You’ve never had Spanish before, now you're ready! Level 2 post-basic beginners You’ve had a little Spanish, or studied it a long time ago; you are just starting Spanish but are at an intermediate to advanced level in another language.
Level 3 advanced beginners You’re using present-tense verbs well and can engage in meaningful small talk about yourself, your home and your family. You’re ready to explore the past tenses.
Level 4 intermediate Reflexives, indefinites, object pronouns—oh my! Let’s keep you reviewing as you move into the next phase of your Spanish usage: putting it all together.
Level 5 advanced intermediate You’re using the imperfect and the preterit tenses, but are not always 100% sure how to decide between the two.
Level 6 advanced intermediate You're ready to explore the subjunctive mood and settle the por vs para score once and for all—¡más o menos!
Level 7 high intermediate You’re using the present subjunctive but need review and reinforcement before looking at past forms.
Level 8 advanced You have a good understanding of most verb tenses but need practice and exposure to nitty-gritty grammar.
Level 9 high advanced You continue with the finer points of Spanish grammar, and are conversant on complex topics but need challenging.
Level 10 high advanced Puedes leer, escribir, debatir, hasta contar chistes. ¿Y ahora, qué? Sigue con el español, aumenta tu vocabulario y continúa hacia el perfeccionamiento—¡siempre es posible mejorar! (top)
