About LATIN AMERICAN LANGUAGE SERVICES
Latin American Language Services -LALS was established in September 1997 to promote the teaching of Latin American Spanish and culture among English companies doing business deals with the Latin American region.
Based in Surbiton, Surrey in the South West of London, we work with highly qualified language teachers and translators. Because LALS Spanish teachers originate in countries across Latin America we are able to help clients with very specific language and cultural issues.
Martha Jesty, the owner of this unique business, a UK qualified teacher, started Latin American Language Services in Surbiton, after realizing the lack of knowledge that exist in UK regarding the differences between Spain and Latin American in culture and language. The main aim of Latin American Language Services-LALS is to be a bridge of communication between the European and the Spanish speaking world. LALS clients need to have high quality services because of the importance of their business. They have chosen us because we know the cultural and languages differences between Latin American and Spain.
Our latest focus has been teaching Spanish for families and running one evening Spanish group courses in Surbiton. Targeting those who just want to learn some phrases while dancing have been our latest boom with zumba classes in Surbiton.
Please contact Latin American Language Services should you need more information on our services.

Spanish TEACHERS
You can get the best of the language and the culture from our highly qualified Spanish teachers who have university degrees in the UK as well as in their own countries. All LALS Spanish teachers have excellent references from our clients and once a teacher is assigned to you, we assure you that you will not wish to change him/her.
The modern and highly effective Communicative Approach methodology is used in LALS teaching programmes. This methodology will help you to develop your knowledge of the language in four different skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, so that you learn quickly and easily at the right level. You will also be constantly assessed in order to monitor your learning. You will benefit not only from our effective methodology but also from our enthusiastic, dynamic and motivated Spanish teachers.

"British people find Latin American Spanish softer, slower and more musical, therefore easier to understand and learn combined with a richer and more vibrant culture" Martha Jesty, LALS director
