The school

The courses
CLS proposes an intensive group course (25 hours/week) including grammar, vocabulary,
conversation, and cultural studies (e.g. Pre-Colombian culture, customs of Mexican life, Latin-American ideologies etc.). CLS uses the American method called F S I - Platiquemos and is
available in Spanish-English, Spanish-German and Spanish-French. A strong emphasize is given to oral comprehension. In effect, the technique is designed to develop fluency in both speaking
and listening skills. The program is basically made of 9 levels. The school is closed only 4 days a year (Jan 1, Good Friday, Sep 16, and Dec 25). A minimum of 2 week course enrollment is
required in a group program.
