Course description

The Intensive course is for students who want to immerse themselves in the Spanish language and learn the most in the least amount of time. The student will have two sessions of 90 minutes per day (with two lessons per session) with 30 minutes break in between. Lessons can be either in the morning or in the afternoon, so let us know your preference.

Classes will follow the communicative method focusing heavily on speaking and communication skills.

** Courses start every Monday, however we require at least 3 people to open a group. In case there aren't enough people of your level on the required dates, we offer the option of swapping the "Intensive course" for an "Intensive one to one" where for the same price, the student will have 1.5 hours of private lessons per day. If there are two people with the same level of ability, for the same price the student will have two hours of classes.

School description

Like our students, we are convinced that immersion in the cultural environment of the language is vital for learning. What good are long grammar reviews or knowledge of the structures of a language if we are not able to put them into practice once we go out?

Based on this premise, we create and personalize our programs for our students based on their interests, playing games and organizing projects that motivate them and help them experience the language in the most real way possible.

This motivates them and helps them experience the language inside and outside the classroom.

Our entire reception, administration, and teaching team will do everything possible to make you feel at home, ensuring that you have an unforgettable experience.

This is what sets us apart.

We guarantee you a memorable and stress-free stay while immersing yourself in the culture and language
