Central Eastside

Ready to fall in love with the rhythm, depth, and poetic cadence of Spanish? Join us at L'école buissonnière for an immersive course, conducted entirely in Spanish for advanced speakers, that explores how art shapes our world.

Each 120-minute session (with a cozy 10-minute break) is a laboratory of expression. We break down the walls between subjects, approaching several distinct topics in every class to give you a fuller sense of Latin American identity.

Through the lens of culture, we dive into literature, music, painting, film, and more. You'll explore the minds of masters like Julio Cortázar and Violeta Parra, among others, and discover the psychological and historical weight behind their masterpieces.

Through interactive exercises, you'll practice reading, writing, and speaking. The heart of our class lies in conversation circles, giving you the floor to engage in deep, meaningful debates.
Come stretch your fluency, satisfy your curiosity, and experience the pulse of Latin American culture!

Limited to 10 participants.
