Bienvenido! Welcome to Spanish on La Granja (on the farm)! 

DGN’s Spanish on La Granja courses are virtual courses tailored to aiding in Spanish speaking on the dairy farm!

Registration is OPEN for our Level 1 and Level 2 courses!

Level 1:

DGN’s Spanish on La Granja Level 1 is a virtual 6-week short course, introducing Spanish on the dairy farm. This course closely mirrors a first year Spanish course, but with focus on dairy usage. A full understanding of the present tense and many vocabulary words will be presented, along with at least one past tense.

The cost of this 6-week program is $325. *This program is nonrefundable.

What’s included in the Level 1 short course?

Level 2:

DGN’s Spanish on La Granja Level 2 is an advanced, virtual 9-week crash course tailored to speaking Spanish on the dairy farm. Every major structure, tense and mood, plus a lot of work on usage and combined structures/tenses will be presented along with cementing concepts and vocabulary by building dairy-related connections. This crash course will mirror the content of a high school Spanish class in the 3rd and 4th year, covering a lot of material but also focusing more on concepts and feel of the language. The last few weeks of this course will focus less on grammar and structure. This course will likely take more personal work time, require some additional types of instruction and will require students to be more engaged to be successful. If you took our first crash course, this course will give you all the final tools to begin speaking Spanish in the dairy setting (and beyond) every day.

The cost of this 6-week program is $350. *This program is nonrefundable.

What’s included in the Level 2?

• A 9-week condensed course (total of 16 lessons)
• Two weekly, one-hour live, but recorded video lessons (Two weeks, the class meets one time live the weeks of July 4 and August 13.)
• “Live” classes will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. EST
  • Start Date: Tuesday, June 18 and ending on Tuesday, August 13 (Class meets one time the holiday week of July 4 and August 13.)
• The instructor will be available after class for up to 15 minutes for questions, extra practice or help with homework.
• Access to helpful resources for reinforcement
• Certificate for course completion

Learning a second language takes commitment, practice and determination. Native Spanish-speakers love it when you show an appreciation for their language and culture. Even knowing the basics will go a long way in improving relationships.
