About US
Our Story
After spending a lot of money on courses in Argentina to learn English, Mara realized the United States language learning system is inefficient as well. Most children don’t leave the school bilingual. I, Mara, the owner created a proprietary curriculum which includes the latest methodologies used in Europe to teach Spanish as a foreign language. This is the way I became bilingual in Buenos Aires, and got a job here in the United States. You can learn Spanish as an adult with a full time job! I did it! (with English)

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Students Say
I took 3-4 years of Spanish in middle and high school and haven’t “formally” studied since. I practiced on Duolingo a bit but noticed that my speaking and listening weren’t improving very much on a trip abroad.
I signed up for classes at LALC and instantly started progressing in my Spanish. The classes are 100% speaking and listening so you get an immersive experience for 2 hours a week. They also tell you how to best practice during the week so you can continue to learn after class.
LALC combined with Duolingo helped me greatly improve my vocab, listen, and feel confident speaking.
Highly highly highly recommend.

Classes are fun and conversational.
I have taken Spanish language classes with the Latin American Language Center for the past five months. The classes are centered around speaking skills first which in turn helps you learn reading and writing. Classes are fun and very conversational.
Mara truly wants all students to succeed. She regularly schedules events for her students to converse with native speakers.
Pricing is very reasonable. If you are looking to learn Spanish, reach out to LALC.
