Our Spanish Courses take place all year round and our schools are always open. The minimum class duration is one week with a maximum of 8 students per class. In some schools a maximum of 10 students is possible during the high season, but the year round average is only 5 to 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:
General Courses
Intensive Course
In this Course, the lessons integrate the 4 skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening with grammatical structures and vocabulary development. In addition, interesting aspects of Spanish culture and way of life are introduced. Each day, the class takes you one step closer to achieving your goal: to communicate more effectively 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 concentrates on both cultural themes and actual up-to-date events. They cover every aspect of Spanish culture and civilization from the deeply rooted traditions, to topics most relevant to the culture today (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 interesting aspects of Spanish culture and way of life. However, if you wish to advance more quickly we recommend the 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 concentrates on both cultural themes and actual up-to-date events.

Other Courses
Individual lessons
If you don’t have much time and wish to make the most of it, you can follow your own pace of learning with a personalized course. This means that neither you nor the teacher need follow the pace and interests of your fellow students,as in any other group course. You can also choose a mixed option: group class on an Intensive course + individual classes. We will continue to advise you right until the end. Firstly, we analyze your individual goals and then create a personalized program adapted to you with regard to content, timetable and additional activities such as company visits and cultural tours and excursions.
This program is offered in all our schools at all levels. You can also request information on non-specific language content, such as literature, business or any other subject. You decide how many lessons per week.
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 instruct individually and then integrate the four language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. In addition to these skills, we also emphasize grammatical structure so that 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.
It is very easy, just click on the city on the left menu where you would like to study and you will find the types of Courses offered with the corresponding prices. If you have any question, do not hesitate to contact us, we will help you.
