Spanish courses in Spain

The Spanish course

Classes run from Monday to Friday and the number of classes per day depends on the type of course you choose. This normally ranges between 4 and 6 a day with each class lasting 45 minutes.

Our teachers are all native Spanish speakers, hold a University Degree and have extensive experience in teaching Spanish language and culture to foreign students.

The courses can be booked either for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 weeks or - if you want to really immerse yourself in the Spanish language and culture - for a longer period of time.

During your stay we will help you to discover not only the Spanish language but also the culture of our regions.

All levels are offered from Beginners to Advanced. Our Spanish courses are designed either for very small groups or private tuition. The classes are always focussed on conversation and practical communication. Grammar is taught in a communicative context and adapted to the specific needs of each student. Our lessons are personalised, offering a balance between grammar, writing, comprehension and oral expression.

Each group has a minimum of three and a maximum of eight students, so everyone can participate actively, while at the same time receiving individual attention. Students are welcome to make suggestions and contribute to the course structure. If there are less than three students to a class, duration is reduced by one third.
No classes are held on National Bank Holidays, and in the event of a local Bank Holiday classes or complementary activities are offered.

At the end of the course you will be given a certificate of attendance indicating the length, intensity and level of your course.
