CONVERSATIONAL SPANISH PROGRAMS
OLSA International is the top-rated Spanish school in all of Colombia (according to Google reviews). We have several excellent Spanish programs and our focus in each of these is the development of fluency in conversational Spanish. This means that OLSA students place priority in the abilities of listening, processing and responding orally in Spanish in real time. These real-life skills translate into improved Spanish fluency which is needed when traveling in Central / South America, or working with Spanish speakers. Our secondary focus is placed on perfecting Spanish grammar – reading, writing / texting in Spanish.
