Each session lasts 2 hours and includes both pre- and post-class online activities, as well as private, face-to-face time with a certified native speaking teacher. With BridgeVirtual, you’ll learn from practical assignments that incorporate videos, blogs, news articles, and a large variety of material, appropriate for all levels and interests. You will be assigned your own teacher, who is dedicated to guiding and motivating you through a completely personalized, one-to-one program, which makes learning fun, practical and effective.

Setting Description:
What makes Santiago unique? Sleek and sprawling, Santiago is often compared to Los Angeles—but without the gridlock! LA, after all, doesn’t have Santiago’s awe-inspiring Metro, the most extensive subway system in South America. With over 103 kilometers of track in service and many more under construction, the system’s five-lines-and-counting span nearly the entire city. As a result, the traffic jam—scourge of other Latin American megacities—will pose nary a threat to your daily routine. More than a utilitarian piece of infrastructure, the Metro is also an island of order and civility amid the hustle of the city; stations are clean and many feature works of art, trains arrive on time, and—most amazing of all—passengers even wait behind the yellow line. By the end of your time in Santiago, you too will have fallen in love!
