Inspired by a firm belief in the value and importance of language learning for children, CSL's kids programs are dedicated to teaching language as well as to building cultural awareness within our young students through play and meaningful interaction.  CSL teachers use a holistic approach that focuses on both conversation and cultural aspects in order to make the language come alive.  [**Click here**](https://www.actfl.org/research/research-briefs/the-impact-of-early-language-learning) to learn more about the emotional, cognitive and social benefits language learning can provide for your child.  # Group Classes For ages younger than 14 # Group Classes # **Fall Term 2026  - Registration is closed.** ## [Click to view CSL's full calendar ](https://www.chattanoogalanguage.com/calendar?hsLang=en)for other important dates! ## Registration dates may vary depending on the school and program. ## Find more info by selecting your language from the dropdown menus at the top of the page.

A refund and/or credit will not be issued. Our expectation is you have to pick up your child on time. If you are not there to pick up your child after 5 minutes, the CSL teacher will call you. If you arrive 10 minutes after class ends, we will take the child to after-care. Please ensure your child is registered for after-care to prevent lake pick-up issues.  ## True Beginner Spanish ##### << Winter Registration Closed >> ##### IN-PERSON (10 weeks) **Wednesdays, 6:30-8:15pm EST** Begins January 10, 2024 (Winter Term) **In-Person Location:** CSL Room #2 (Suite 329) *3800 St. Elmo Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37409* *Click to review [CSL's Policies](https://www.chattanoogalanguage.com/policies?hsLang=en) and [CSL's Calendar](https://www.chattanoogalanguage.com/calendar?hsLang=en)*  [Register](https://app.hubspot.com/payments/HRJ7hmCxR6ww?referrer=PAYMENT_LINK) ## True Beginner Spanish ##### << Winter Registration Closed >> ##### IN-PERSON (10 weeks) **Wednesdays, 6:30-8:15pm EST** Begins January 10, 2024 (Winter Term) **In-Person Location:** CSL Room #2 (Suite 329) *3800 St. Elmo Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37409* *Click to review [CSL's Policies](https://www.chattanoogalanguage.com/policies?hsLang=en) and [CSL's Calendar](https://www.chattanoogalanguage.com/calendar?hsLang=en)*  [Register](https://app.hubspot.com/payments/HRJ7hmCxR6ww?referrer=PAYMENT_LINK) ## True Beginner Spanish ##### << Winter Registration Closed >> ##### IN-PERSON (10 weeks) **Wednesdays, 6:30-8:15pm EST** Begins January 10, 2024 (Winter Term) **In-Person Location:** CSL Room #2 (Suite 329) *3800 St. Elmo Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37409* *Click to review [CSL's Policies](https://www.chattanoogalanguage.com/policies?hsLang=en) and [CSL's Calendar](https://www.chattanoogalanguage.com/calendar?hsLang=en)*  [Register](https://app.hubspot.com/payments/HRJ7hmCxR6ww?referrer=PAYMENT_LINK) ## True Beginner Spanish ##### << Winter Registration Closed >> ##### IN-PERSON (10 weeks) **Wednesdays, 6:30-8:15pm EST** Begins January 10, 2024 (Winter Term) **In-Person Location:** CSL Room #2 (Suite 329) *3800 St. Elmo Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37409* *Click to review [CSL's Policies](https://www.chattanoogalanguage.com/policies?hsLang=en) and [CSL's Calendar](https://www.chattanoogalanguage.com/calendar?hsLang=en)*  [Register](https://app.hubspot.com/payments/HRJ7hmCxR6ww?referrer=PAYMENT_LINK) ## Don't see the language you're looking for?  *First, click here to see if we offer your language of choice in Customized Lessons. * *If not, fill out the form below, and we'll be in touch!* ###### Need more info?
