Our method is communicative, practical and flexible. From the very first day, our classes are held in Spanish and all of our study material is in Spanish. This way you will learn to communicate in an effective manner in an everyday environment.
Our classes are interactive, entertaining, yet serious at the same time. You will study all aspects of the language: grammar, vocabulary, culture and functionality, but above all, you will be speaking continuously from the first day in class.
You will be studying in reduced size groups of a maximum of 12 people and will get to know students from all over the world.
At the end of your studies you will receive an attendance certificate and /or a certificate of achievement if you complete the minimum attendance of 85% and pass the final exam.
If you are a group of students, we can prepare a specific private course for you, taking into account your needs and wishes.
Our programmes of general Spanish courses take place across 6 levels of different durations and in increasing degrees of difficulty.
If your level is not that of an absolute beginner, you will need to undertake the assessment exam of the preceding lower level before beginning your studies. This exam is free of charge and will take place outside of class hours.
