We offer Spanish courses with a communicative method in which class activities are combined with the knowledge of the city and the surroundings. Learn by speaking and having fun from the first day!
Level test
Firstly, in order to determine the group in which the student would improve the fastest, we do a free, no-commitment level test. This consists of a personal interview, a grammar and vocabulary test, and a writing. Then, according to the results and the student’s objectives and availability, we recommend the most appropriate groups.
MCER
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages recommends the following hours in order to pass the different levels:
However, the number of hours can vary depending on numerous factors like the student’s willingness to study on their own, their abilities, and the number of students per class; therefore, our students regularly achieve their level objectives ahead of schedule.
Duration
Spanish courses are designed for the student to be in a situation of linguistic immersion. Thus, to make the most of the course, we recommend that students take no less than 6 hours a week in the case of long stays and 15 hours a week in the case of short stays. In addition, the groups will be limited to a maximum of 10 students.
Material
All required materials are handed to the students either by e-mail before the class or at the beginning of each lesson. The student is at the centre of the learning process and immersed in real-life situations so that they can apply what they have learned in class. This teaching method enables the student for a real communication —both oral and written— with other speakers of the language. For this purpose, texts, listenings, and authentic materials are used, as well as activities that imitate reality. If necessary, and if the student agrees, the teacher may recommend buying a book.
Course hours
There are groups of all levels from A1 to C2 both in the morning and in the afternoon. For more information, contact us.
