The course used by the Institute was developed by the Military Institute of Linguistics.  It is used by the government to train diplomats and ambassadors for service in foreign countries.  We use the course with written permission.  Some of the language has been changed or adapted to be more      suitable for missionary work.

The course is titled "Situational Spanish."  It consists of the different, yet common situations which missionaries will encounter on a daily basis.  For example, the first lesson is "In the market place."  It has to do with market purchases of fruits, vegetables, and other items.  Other lessons deal with such situations as:  "The Post Office," "The Beauty Shop," "Door to Door Witnessing," along with many other situations.  The course includes 69 lessons which cover all areas of life in Latin America.
