What level of Spanish, French, or Chinese is required?
Frankly, if you are a motivated person, if the choice to really assault fluency is your goal (and not just your parents’), then we can do the rest. We teach at as many as three different levels, and have even contracted special tutoring for those either just above or just below everyone else. Bring your energy, enthusiasm, and leave the driving to us. Note that all French and Spanish programs require 2 or more years of the target language, while China requires none – beginners to more advanced students are accepted. This is because Chinese and Italian are not yet that widely taught. And, for China only, that is why we encourage high school seniors to apply. In France and Spain, students ranged from 2 to 5 years of the language on our programs last summer – in fact, there were a few students who were close to fluent. We take French and Spanish students with 1 year of the language in only certain circumstances – call if that’s you.
