Studies show that children learn another language more easily when it is a topic that they find fun and interesting. This year’s Vamos series incorporates useful and exciting Spanish vocabulary, culture, and conversation skills. In our ¡Vamos a Viajar! (Let’s Travel!) classes (Oct-Dec), students will “hop aboard” planes, trains, and automobiles to experience the language through hands-on activities. As you explore travel-related vocabulary and everyday phrases, you’ll also dive into the rich traditions and cultures of Spanish-speaking countries. Through Futura’s dynamic and interactive approach, you will practice useful Spanish expressions in fun, real-life contexts – like ordering at a restaurant or navigating a busy market. Get ready to explore, connect, and develop a deeper appreciation for the Spanish language in an exciting and supportive environment.
