Las Mariposas Language Center, located in Ballston Spa, New York, invites your whole family to learn a second or third language in a vibrant and friendly atmosphere. We offer a full range of group and private classes for adults, teenagers, and children. We are the only language center in the Capital Region to be offering nine languages.

We are now offering classes for adults in Albany in Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese and hope to have our second language center open in the fall of 2008. Then, classes will be offered for children and adults. If you are interested in talking a class in Albany, please call or write for more information.

Our adult program has proven effective based on the quality of teaching, the small class sizes and the well-developed curriculum. Adults have a lot of flexibility with their program. The minimum is one group or one private class per week. The adults who put in additional study time at home and take additional conversation classes at Las Mariposas advance the quickest.

All of our children's classes are designed by New York State certified teachers. These classes use music, movement, games, stories, and art to nurture a love of the Spanish and French languages as well as the related cultures.

Our services for teenagers including tutoring and enrichment classes. Tutoring is designed to help the students that are struggling with language classes at school. We can help middle or high school students earn a higher grade and / or pass the proficiency exam or the Regents test.

The enrichment program is designed for the students that already do well in and love the language, but want to take it a step further. Perhaps your child would enjoy one-on-one conversation classes with a native Spanish speaker or maybe your avid reader would like to delve into Spanish classics with an instructor.

 To make it easy on the adult with the packed schedule, one of our instructors can work with you at your place of employment on your lunch hour or at the end of your work day.
