Grammar classes (in Spanish)
Conversation classes (in Spanish) that allow students to use the grammar they are learning as well as to become familiar with dietetic related vocabulary
Cooking classes (in Spanish) where students will cook in a traditional Mexican kitchen to make typical foods common in the Mexican diet

Class sizes are small (5-8 students). Students live with Mexican families to provide more exposure to the culture and language of Mexico. Room and board is included with the program.
