● We believe that
every businessperson and professional who passes through Miami / South
Florida needs to be bi-lingual – at least – and we want to
help him/her achieve that goal. We have exciting programs to meet
that end.
● The “Miami
Advantage.”® Miami has clearly defined English
speaking, Spanish speaking and Portuguese speaking communities.
We take advantage of this asset so you can practice your conversation
skills from the beginning. Formal language instruction is
combined with activities “in the street” that will enable
you to use your skills immediately.
● If you are only
changing planes in Miami, we can even arrange to meet you for lessons
at the airport. You can do something productive with long
layovers.
● We can set up
programs for individuals (private tutoring) and small pre-formed
groups in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The programs will be
the right combination of passive and active lessons.
▪ English: (Language Program)
Businesspeople and professionals passing through Miami for a few hours
or a few weeks can take advantage of our language programs.
Practice before you have meetings or presentations in other cities.
▪ Spanish: (Language Program)
For those studying Spanish, we treat Miami as if it were a foreign
study abroad destination. Miami-Dade County is over 60% Spanish
speaking. Certain sections are almost 100% Spanish speaking.
A 6th option for Spanish is a special Spanish in Miami® Language & Culture Program. (see Below)
▪ Portuguese. (Language Program)
There is a very large Brazilian population in Miami. There are
Brazilian neighborhoods, stores, restaurants, social clubs, etc.
It is not the same total language immersion as Spanish or English, but
for short term programs, it is a very good choice.
● There are 5 different options for each language. For Spanish, we have a 6th option. See Below.

Speak it Now!® No More Excuses.®
● English:
A program for those many executives and professionals who have a
background in English but do not have the opportunity to use it, and
are losing their skills. They do not need more classes, they need
to speak it.
● Spanish & Portuguese:
A program for those who are learning the language and need/want to get
beyond the textbook, and actually use it. You need to be put in
situations where you have to speak the language with native speakers
while participating in everyday activities. It works!
