CULTURE:
The focus of the curriculum is to learn the language- but we believe that by understanding a culture and its people, the language then comes to life. We tend to have more affection for things we understand.
​
The amount of cultural exposures are the same in each language- but as you can imagine they differ between languages and culture. Here are the ones seen in the Spanish curriculum!
