The Club Leader
Marianne Canario is the leader of The Conversation Station language clubs, as well as President of Instructional Methodologies, Inc. She has taught Spanish at the high school and college levels for more than 15 years, and also has many years of experience teaching English as a Second Language and coaching individuals in American culture and language. She has worked as a Spanish/English translator and an international banker. Marianne is an excellent instructor, and has a real passion for conversation. 

Marianne finds fun, non-threatening ways to engage learners as they practice their oral proficiency. Club meetings are just that -- club meetings -- not classes. Members learn through interaction with other members.

The Organization
The Conversation Station was begun as a way to supplement traditional language training. Educational institutions can give you a solid foundation in their new language. Then, The Conversation Station can help you take your language skills to the next level through supervised oral activities. Group size is limited to help ensure your success.

Follow-up and ongoing practice are necessary parts of any program of language study. Let us help you to be more successful!
