We believe the main objective of a language is conveying our ideas or thoughts. When we speak to someone; we hear the radio; watch TV, or read the newspaper, language, whether written or oral, has the goal of communicating something. This is the essential purpose of a language; and hence, communicating in the target language is what we teach at Las Terrenas Language School.
