Unlike traditional Spanish language learning schools, the Art of Language focuses on a well-rounded process for learning Spanish. Students enjoy a novel approach to language learning. The Art of Language helps students improve their Spanish while exploring art, film, and music. Courses run seasonally and include classes, art activities, and Spanglish cafes where students reflect on the art activities with native speakers. To enroll, visit The Art of Language website to take a Spanish level test.
