LANGUAGE CLASSES
Active minds are just as important as active bodies and one of the best ways to challenge your mind is to take up a new language. At Hamilton House this endeavor could not be easier. All classes, excluding Italian, are currently in session but you are welcome to visit to see if you would like to enroll. Check our calendar for class schedules.

Intermediate Spanish
Wednesdays at 9:30AM
This is a fun and dynamic language course with a focus on conversation. There will be some grammar, of course, but the majority of the class period is devoted to developing your speaking and listening skills. This means that the students do most of the talking. We discuss current events as well as literature excerpts from renowned Hispanic authors and use a variety of texts to introduce new vocabulary. The course is intermediate in the sense that the group members have been taking this course for over a year, but that should not intimidate you from trying it out by any means. There are a wide range of levels among the students and we have been successful at accommodating everyone's needs. It is a welcoming group and a supportive environment. Don't hesitate to check it out.
Fee:$30 ( 6 Weeks)
