La clase es divertida e intensa a la vez. Hay que hablar puro español en la clase, y hay que hablar mucho. Hay variedad en la actividades de clase y en la tarea. La clase sirve para aumentar el vocabulario (la salud , las comunicaciones , el mercado , la naturaleza , la casa , cultura y religiones , y la comida). Terminamos con el resto de los tiempos verbales: condicional, subjuntivo, etc. La clase prepara a los estudiantes para la clase de AP, la universidad, y para viajar a países hispanohablantes.
