Our Spanish courses take place all year round and our schools are always open. The minimum duration is one week with a maximum of 8 students per class in some schools or a maximum of 10 students in others during the high season (average of 5-6 students per class). Students will take an oral and written placement test on the first Monday after their arrival in order to be placed in the appropriate level. As soon as the testing process has been completed, the course work takes place immediately.
Our methodology is based on acquiring the linguistic, pragmatic and functional aspects of language learning along with the socio-cultural elements of the Spanish way of life.
So, you can choose between:
Intensive Course*: In this Course lessons integrate the 4 skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening with grammatical structures and vocabulary development and very interesting aspects of Spanish culture and way of life are also introduced. Each day, the class takes you one step closer to achieving your goal: to communicate more and better in Spanish. For this reason, we integrate all skills in the classroom, combining various tasks and activities in which you are the main protagonist.
Starting dates: each Monday, all year round. Duration: from 1 to 52 weeks.
*one extra class per day concentrated on both cultural themes and actual up-to-date events that cover every aspect of Spanish culture and civilization from the deeply rooted traditions to topics most relevant to the culture (only in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Salamanca, Sevilla, Granada and Tenerife).
Intensive Plus Course: Like the Intensive Course, this Course integrates the 4 skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening with grammatical structures, vocabulary development and very iteresting aspects of Spanish culture and way of life. But if you need to advance more quickly in your skills we recommend you to choose this Intensive Plus Course, because it has more daily classes and more oral and written communication practice. Starting dates: each Monday, all year round. Duration: from 1 to 52 weeks
*one extra class per day concentrated on both cultural themes and actual up-to-date events that cover every aspect of Spanish culture and civilization from the deeply rooted traditions to topics most relevant to the culture (only in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Salamanca, Sevilla, Granada and Tenerife).

Extra Programs: Preparation DELE, Business Spanish, Work Experience Programme, “Over 50” Course, Spanish + Cooking, Spanish + Flamenco, Spanish + Sport, Spanish Teacher Training Course, Groups / Study Travel.
In all our courses we try to instruct individually and then integrate the four language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. In addition to these skills, we also emphasize grammatical structure sothat the student can eventually reach the threshold of communicative proficiency.
We feel that learning a language is a dynamic process in which the students live within the Spanish culture while being totally immersed in the language itself. In order to broaden the student's general perspective, we offer the possibility of studying many different aspects of the Spanish culture including History, Art, Civilization, Literature, Cinema, etc. |
