🇧🇴 A Typical Class at Carmen Vega Spanish School

Learn Spanish through warmth, practice, and real communication

Learning Spanish at Carmen Vega School means starting every morning with an experience full of exchange, discovery, and progress.
Classes are designed to be dynamic, personalized, and — above all — human.
You learn to speak, understand, and express yourself naturally, without stress.

Here’s what a typical morning looks like at our school.


🌞 A gentle start to the day

Each morning begins in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
The teacher greets the students and starts a spontaneous conversation:

“How are you today?” — “¿Cómo estás hoy?”
“What did you do yesterday?” — “¿Qué has hecho ayer?”

This open discussion helps reactivate what students have already learned while encouraging them to speak freely.
The teacher listens carefully, corrects with kindness, and naturally steers the conversation toward the topics or grammar points studied before.

From the very first minute, you’re already speaking Spanish!


✏️ Reviewing yesterday’s exercises

Next comes a collective moment of exchange: reviewing the exercises assigned the day before.
The student share his answers, the teacher explains tricky points, and together they clarify any doubts.

This review strengthens understanding and helps solidify structures in a lasting way.
It’s also a time when students can really see their progress day by day.

📚 A new grammar point — lively and practical

Once everyone’s warmed up, it’s time for a new grammar concept.
But at Carmen Vega School, grammar never means long theoretical lectures.

Instead, the teacher illustrates each topic through dialogues, real-life situations, or fun role plays.
Students learn in context — they laugh, improvise, and immediately use the new structure in practical sentences.

This communicative approach makes grammar feel alive, logical, and useful.

☕ A well-deserved break — everyone’s favorite moment

After about two hours of class, it’s time for a 30-minute break — a much-loved moment of connection and relaxation.
Students and teachers gather in the patio over coffee, tea, fresh fruit, and sometimes salteñas (those famous Bolivian pastries) or birthday cakes when there’s a celebration.

It’s an informal, friendly time where everyone keeps speaking Spanish without even realizing it, sharing stories and laughter with classmates from all over the world.


💬 Learning through practice

After the break, it’s time to put the new grammar point into practice.
Activities vary: application exercises, discussions, role plays, or short impromptu presentations.

The teacher adapts to each student’s level, corrects gently, and always encourages participation and confidence.
Little by little, students speak more naturally, understand more easily, and feel their progress every single day.


🏡 Wrapping up with a take-home activity

At the end of class, the teacher assigns a short homework activity — simple but meaningful — to prepare for the next lesson.
It might be a short text to write, a listening exercise, or a dialogue to complete.

The goal is to keep learning at your own pace, while reinforcing new concepts.
And the next morning, it all starts again — in Spanish, of course!
