About
The Columbus Spanish Place – Children's Spanish Classes and Summer Programs offers Spanish classes for children, including Saturday children's classes, children's private classes, and summer children's programs. The program uses a full immersion learning setting with activity-based, age-appropriate instruction in a small, conversational class setting, with a focus on helping students learn to think in Spanish. Programming for children is available at The Columbus Spanish Place office in Clintonville and through area schools.
• Ages: 3–13 years old
• Price: Group classes are $16 per hour.
Classes are taught by experienced, native instructors who are 100% fluent Spanish speakers. The Columbus Spanish Place also offers Spanish classes at children's schools in the Columbus area and partners with local schools and preschools to provide these classes. The organization offers additional programs and services, including adult group and private classes, corporate classes, classes for medical professionals, classes for police and correction personnel, ESL instruction, police/medical Spanish programs, translation and interpretation services, study abroad, and a mesmerizing Flamenco show.
The Columbus Spanish Place is led by Director Marcela Salgar from Colombia. It is an Ohio business that started together with locations in Cincinnati in 2004 and Cleveland in 2011. Its mission is to serve English- and Spanish-speakers with products and services that offer educational, linguistic, cultural, social, and communication benefits through Spanish instruction, translation, ESL instruction, interpretation, social networking, study abroad, and print, broadcast, and online publishing, and to bring people together while encouraging tolerance, understanding, and exploration of new languages, cultures, and ideas.
Parent and student feedback describes teachers as patient, energetic, upbeat, caring, and fun to be around, and notes that classes are small with many chances to speak with teachers and other students. Parents and students report that children speak Spanish words at home, that teachers keep classes interactive, and that some children look forward to Spanish class and talk about their teachers between classes. Adult students note that immersion classes require them to listen and concentrate, that native teachers bring a cultural aspect to class, and that teachers come from different Spanish-speaking countries with different accents.
