About the private course
The Private course is designed considering your individual needs and expectations. During the course, you will be exposed to a wide variety of topics according to your interests.
This course can include 30 Group lessons or 20 Spanish Group lessons plus 10 Private lessons depending on the chosen destination. It is meant to help you deepen your learning experience and to accomplish a
higher level of proficiency of the Spanish language in a shorter time.
Private lessons are, without a doubt, the best way to make the most of your time studying Spanish abroad. The personal one-on-one attention will inevitably lead you to learn faster and more effectively than in group classes.

How long should I study?
The minimum duration for a language course is usually two weeks, but students benefit the most starting from the 3rd and 4th weeks of their language course, after they get used to the new environment. By this time, the early distractions are over and the student has "settled in". The average student takes about 12 weeks of language studies abroad.
