English Classes - Latin American Association

We offer affordable, English-language courses year-round at various times, weekdays and Saturdays in order to accommodate our students’ needs. Our classes are taught by professionally trained and experienced teachers. We offer six levels:

Beginner (Intro, Level 1 and Level 2)
Intermediate (Level 3 and Level 4)
Advanced (Level 5)

With a communication-based approach to language acquisition, students learn English grammar step by step, accompanied by writing, listening and conversational exercises. Students will also read newspaper articles, practice telephone conversations and watch films in English followed by analysis and debate.

At our Buford Highway location, students can enjoy a special feature of our English classes called intercambio, or exchange, where students periodically get to interact and converse with native English speakers enrolled in our Spanish classes, who get to practice their Spanish too.
