Improving the Spanish language skills and Hispanic culture knowledge of English-speaking parents

Our client is a large school district in Southern California with more than 40 schools serving grades TK-12.

The district has a well-established Dual Language Immersion program in English and Spanish across more than 10 schools.

The program seeks to help students become bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural, while also supporting families as part of the broader learning community.

The district wanted to support English-speaking parents of Dual Language Immersion students by offering Spanish classes that would help them interact more confidently in Spanish with their children.

The parent program also needed a strong cultural component so families could become more familiar with Hispanic culture and better understand the cultural context of the Dual Language program.

The district needed live online Spanish classes for parents of Dual Language students that were flexible, cost-effective, and accessible to adult learners with different schedules and Spanish levels.

The district was looking for a partner to support Spanish learning for English-speaking parents through online classes with flexible schedules and a cost-effective program structure.

Comligo was selected because its teachers come from different Spanish-speaking countries and can connect language learning with authentic cultural perspectives.

Comligo’s 100% live classes promote interaction and communication, which helps parents practice Spanish in real time rather than relying only on self-paced materials.

Comligo specializes in both Spanish language learning and Hispanic cultural immersion, making it a strong fit for school districts that want to support bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural education.

Comligo created a custom Spanish for parents course designed to improve language proficiency while providing deeper exposure to Hispanic culture.

Comligo taught the course to more than 250 parents, arranging classes according to scheduling preferences and Spanish language levels.

Comligo provided programs, teaching materials, videos, podcasts, and practice resources tailored to participant levels.

Comligo coordinated the course schedule while considering the availability of each participant.

Comligo provided individualized feedback and certificates of completion after the course.

Parents built a stronger foundation in Spanish language skills through the course.

Parents learned to recognize and use vocabulary for a range of everyday situations.

Parents learned to understand and apply Spanish grammar functions, including verbs, articles, adjectives, and related structures.

Parents strengthened intercultural and communication skills through exposure to Hispanic traditions, food, music, and cultural practices.

Parents gained greater appreciation for cultural diversity and a better understanding of the cultural goals of the Dual Language Immersion program.
