Course description

Ideal for students who want to learn the language more intensively. The additional lessons give one the opportunity to focus further on various aspects and contexts of the language - and still have time for the afternoon leisure activities!

With the Intensive Course, more emphasis is placed on learning, thus leaving less free time for extra curricular activities. Six daily lessons help you to make effective progress in a much shorter time.

The six lessons that you will have each day are as follows:
• 2 lessons - grammar and general vocabulary exercises
• 2 lessons - conversation
• 2 lessons - reading, understanding texts, listening, writing

The course structure may vary depending on the individual teachers and students. The topics may refer to current articles from local newspapers and magazines. We work with texts that match the students' language skills. This way, the texts and topics can be discussed actively by the group.

*There is a possibility of a textbook rental for €4/week. A €15 refundable deposit will be charged at the time of a rental.

Course topics

Listening, Speaking, Pronunciation, Reading, Writing, Vocabulary and Grammar

"Sprachcaffe the Place to learn Spanish"

Sonja Petrick-Schmalbruch, student from Germany

I experienced a very professional backing from the Start!

In BCN I was in a class with 5 other students, a very open and nice group.

The school was very central in walking distance in a great area.
Also several working groups were offered during the week.
In the 14 ‚crash’ intensive course I had a great teacher, Victor.
Victor did have a very good study method to bring the language in my (our) minds, trying to make Spanish more familiar to us.

Thank you Victor for this great experience! In normal life I‘m trying to think Spanish!

"It was fun and I learned a lot"

Tianyi Xie, student from China

The classes were very fun, as the teacher was interacting well with us. The expeditions were also great, even though we had to spend a lot of time walking, which was tiring. Generally, it was a great time in the camp. The dorms were fine as well. A great camp.
