I would love to take a Spanish class taught to English speakers exactly the 
way we teach ESL. I
haven't found this. Does anyone know of where this method is used where I 
live locally? I cannot go off and attend an immersion program. I  live in 
Pinellas County in Florida.
I once tried an evening class, but it wasn't the same.
Thanks!
susan
