HABLA HOUSTON SPANISH SCHOOL
OUR FUNCTIONALLY FLUENT! METHODOLOGY
With HABLA’s Functionally Fluent! method, class participants will become functionally fluent in under a year. Our proprietary method is a product of more than twenty years of hands-on Spanish class experience teaching adult professionals, and over half a century of linguistic research. It is based on three important principles:
1) Focus on Functions
People use language to perform important functions – this is a proven linguistic principle. Our function-based syllabus is designed to empower you in your practical daily goals.
What is a function? – Functions are the important things we get done in life - at home, at work, and around town. Each of HABLA’s Spanish lessons in Houston is designed to teach you to perform an essential function. You learn to do things in Spanish. One week you learn to introduce yourself, another week you go shopping, or make a work-related phone call in Spanish, or debate a point, or ask for directions…the sky’s the limit!
2) Focus on Foundations
A real-life Houston Spanish teacher and supportive, quality classroom instruction provide an essential Spanish-learning foundation during your Spanish classes. Your Houston Spanish classes enable you to leverage other resources to learn Spanish and maximize what you can do outside of class.
3) Focus on Fluency
The true definition of fluency is that your language flows – you may make mistakes (of course you will, you are human!), but the goal is for your language to flow – in a fluent conversation, the speaker and listener exchange ideas in a natural, flowing manner. Once you have built a solid foundation of Spanish language structures, and can use them in a flowing manner, to perform a variety of functions, you are considered fluent. Our Money-Back Guarantee promises that with HABLA Houston Spanish School, you will reach this level of Spanish fluency in just six months!
