“This is the perfect way to learn a lot of Spanish in a short amount of time,” said Brian Roberts, class instructor and assistant director of CALA, which is the language-training center of the MTSU Honors College.

CALA's accelerated classes are engineered to provide rapid gains in the language by appealing to how the brain learns best, which is how people learn their native language — with lots of hands-on, interactive methods that take place in a fun, low-stress atmosphere using movement, songs, games and stories.

•      Spanish Part 1:  Sept. 5-9, 6-9:30 p.m., MTSU Honors 116

•      Spanish Part 1:  Oct. 3-7, 6-9:30 p.m., MTSU Honors 106 (coincides with Rutherford County Schools' spring break)
