ACTFL (The American Council of Teaching Foreign Language) exams can be scheduled directly through Diglos after a student has successfully completed all courses within the learning path. ACTFL tests have individual registration costs as well.

Payment is due at time of registration. Call if you would like to make other payment arrangements (payments in 2 or 3 installments).

Class attendance and participation is key to success. All assignments and chapters covered will be posted for the class to review on their own. If a student is unable to make it to class due to extreme circumstances (funeral, illness, etc.) it is considered excused. With advanced notice a teacher may be able to record the class (not guaranteed) . A tutoring session may be booked (at the expense of the student) if the student feels they need assistance with the material missed.

Come with an open mind and be ready to learn. Be sure your computer and devices are charged. Have headphones with a microphone and be willing to speak. It's ok if you make mistakes; it is all part of learning!

Students should have purchased the textbook and have something to take notes with. (See email for the course you enrolled in) Set yourself up in a quiet location where you can focus, free from distractions and be fully engaged in the class.

Yes! Homework helps you practice what is learned during class time. Homework will be reviewed to ensure understanding of the concepts taught. There is no grade for homework (or anything really) but it is a key part to taking a student's learning to the next level of proficiency.

Students are always welcome to book some 1:1 private lesson tutoring sessions to get back on track, or retake a course.

Community events and conversation groups are a great way to learn and practice Spanish even if you do not have time to commit to a full course. Anyone is welcome to register for these events! Similarly, if you have to take a break from the course schedule, but want to continue learning Spanish, or if you want to continue to practice your Spanish skills with others after you have finished your program, these are perfect opportunities for you!

As of now, courses are only offered virtually. If you are interested in in-person classes, let us know and we will begin once we have enough interested students.

Register for a class today! Or, try out a free conversation/vocab night and then decide. Don’t want to do it alone? Ask a friend/roommate/partner to join you as an accountability partner and study buddy.
