Our Spanish school is located in a beautiful 16th century colonial house and offers all the necessary accommodations to give Spanish classes with access to the internet, a small library, video projectors, the use of audio materials, and also a TV/DVD player that is used during “Movie Night.” Because we are a small school it gives us the advantage to have both a friendly atmosphere as well as a highly professional learning atmosphere which allows students and teacher to get to know each other which achieves a better exchange between cultures and the success of language learning. Our group courses are dynamic, multicultural, and enjoyable with students from all over the world. A majority of our students come from Canada, Australia, USA, Holland, Switzerland and Germany. The average age ranges between 18 to 35 years old. However, it is also very common to have mature adults between 50 and 65 years old who are not only interested in learning the Spanish language but also in the Colombian and South American culture. Our groups are small with a maximum of 6 participants per class, and we aim to have a continuous and successful dialogue between students and teacher. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes with a break of 15 minutes between classes. There are three different levels per course: Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced. Upon arrival, the student will take a Placement Test in order to determine their level and be placed in the correct Spanish class.
