The Sunset Serenades is a virtual program that uses popular English and Spanish songs to teach language fluency and cultural competency.
Our mission is to provide a unique and enjoyable language learning experience that inspires and empowers individuals to communicate effectively in English or Spanish. We believe that language can be a barrier for equality and that learning is a lifelong journey, and we strive to make that journey as engaging and rewarding as possible.
Our idea is simple: The program will feature a song and its lyrics each week, along with instruction on pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and cultural background.
Weekly Hours: 2 hours of live instruction per week, with additional online resources available 24/7. The program is conducted through online platforms such as Zoom and Google Meet.
Level: This course is appropriate for intermediate and advanced language students.
