School- Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
Experience
Ensenada!
This Port city 75 miles south of San Diego is a favorite of tourists and
sportsmen. Among its many attractions are whale-watching cruises in
season. The local fleet also beckons sportsmen and women who appreciate
the excitement of deep sea fishing, snorkeling and surfing. South of
town is the famous "Bufadora" tidewater blowhole, one of only a handful
in the world.
 Spanish for
everyone... Spanish courses for students, professionals,
police officers, nurses, teachers etc. University, college, high school,
junior high students and for those who wish to immerse themselves in the
language.
Affordable
intensive language training at a convenient location with American
university credit available. The Spanish dialect taught at the Center of
Languages is that of the Latin American business professional.
To ensure the
highest possible achievement by each of our students, we
employ professional teachers, each of whom is a native Spanish speaker
with a college education. Their education is supplemented with special
training teaching Spanish as a second language.
Weekday courses are available to individual students from age 13. We've had students in
the 60's and 70's. Seniors are welcome. Courses are held from Sunday
through Friday year-round.
Daily sessions
are held from 8 am to 2 pm. Winter hours are 9 am to 3 pm.
University-accredited courses are available through the
universities and colleges. Special courses are available for continuing
education credit for professional groups including teachers, police
officers and medical professionals. The Center of Languages has special courses available that can earn
students credit from the University of California, San Diego or local
community colleges.
Weekend classes
are available at our Ensenada Campus. Courses are held Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.
 Living with a
Mexican family Students are urged to take advantage of this optional program. A number
of local families have been chosen by our faculty to play host to
visiting students. This phase of the program is highly important because
students speak Spanish away from the classroom in natural day-to-day
surroundings. These real life conversational situations help the student
to understand the rich heritage of the Mexican culture and to experience
Mexican family life in a truly natural and friendly manner.
Cultural Tours &
Social Activities
Learning a language is more than simply being able to speak correctly.
At the Center we believe that a language reflects the culture of the
people. To help our students better understand the rich cultures of the
peoples of Mexico and Latin America, we ask them to participate in a
number of cultural activities, including field trip tours to local
museums and other sites of historical and cultural interest. The
enriching experience of cultural field trips is an option we hope all
students will exercise during their stay in Ensenada. The Center regularly takes students to the historical museum at Estero
Beach and on tours at the city's Cultural Center in the heart of the
city itself. The "Riviera del Pac�fico," once a huge gambling casino
owned by boxing great Jack Dempsey, today houses the Ensenada Cultural
Center, a site that should be on everyone's must see list. Throughout
the year, the Cultural Center plays host to such events as concerts,
exhibits and theatre performances. Other visits include the Museo de
Ciencias which is devoted to both the natural and physical sciences plus
the art gallery.
Our students not only come to learn Spanish, but they also come to experience the
Mexican culture and the warmth of Mexico.
Courses are held
throughout the year. Weekday courses are offered year-round, Monday
through Friday.
