Course Information

Touch Spanish by G. Wilcox is a hands-on method of teaching Spanish to adults and young children. This method of teaching Spanish resembles the natural process that a child encounters when exposed to a new language. Grammar rules are taught through the actual use of the language in conversations, as opposed to being bombarded with boring, and many times dull, grammar classes where the student may even lose interest in Spanish. The same vocabulary and verbs will be repeated throughout the series as often as possible.
