Learn Spanish in Cusco, Peru!

Our Spanish Language school in Cuzco has an international staff that speaks several languages. Our main goal is to help you improve your Spanish making your stay as enjoyable as possible. All our teachers are native speakers and professionals who are committed to giving students the richest possible experience of Peruvian culture and customs. They have been chosen because of their high quality teaching skills, their enthusiasm and their knowledge of Cusco and Peru. Coming from different countries in Latin-America they all took our school's teacher training and participate in continuing education during their employment.

We offer you customized tutoring at the level and pace especially suited to your personal goals. Our school is known for its interactive, communicative and personal teaching methods. Successfully implementing the interactive method depends entirely on the personal attention teachers are able to give students. Therefore, our groups are small and all courses are intensive. The make-up of the group is determined according to the students abilities; the first day of the course begins with an oral and written placement test.

All our Spanish Language courses include the following:

• Study of Grammar (theory and practice)
• Excercises to extend vocabulary and pronunciation.
• Development of listening, writing and reading comprehension, using newspapers, songs and local literature.
• Techniques of oral communication, guided conversation and role plays.
• Information on Peruvian culture ans society.

We work with four levels, fixing the goals for each based on our experience and in accordance with the curriculum of the Instituto Cervantes and the Council of Europe. (*Common European Framework of References).

Whether a complete beginner or an advanced speaker, a recent or returning student, we can offer customized tutoring at a level and pace especially suited to a student's personal goals. All students come to school Monday at 8:00 a.m. to take the Placement Test, which consists of 30 multiple choice questions and a short oral test.

Beginners (A1+A2+B1)
The student will be able to formulate and understand short sentences relating to basic necessities and forms of politeness.

Intermediate B2
The student will be able to express himself, perhaps sometimes with a little difficulty, but usually spontaneously and independently, in everyday situations.

Advanced C1
The student will have advanced communication ability, even in complicated situations.

Superior C2
Clearing up minor imperfections. Refining pronunciation and intonation. Communicating, without difficulty, with people who are native Spanish speakers.

Classes take place from Monday to Friday, except for official holidays which are not recoverable (instead, an alternative, cultural activity is offered). All classes are programmed between the hours of 8:00 am and 8:30 pm. One lesson (academic hour) equals 52.5 minutes of instruction.

All courses start on Monday; students may begin their classes any Monday or Tuesday. However, if you begin on Tuesday, Monday classes are not recoverable. We recommend that students rest for at least one day after their arrival to become accustomed to the altitude.

Classes take place in a relaxed and stimulating atmosphere, maximizing a student's ability to communicate in Spanish. Teachers rotate in order to give students the maximum exposure to the varieties of spoken Spanish.

We work with our own Latin America-oriented text books, which form the basis of the course, in combination with other materials (e.g. newspapers, songs, literature, cassettes, videos, grammar exercises etc.) making use of overhead projectors, videos, and other audio-visual materials. However, our materials have only a support function. Students may visit typical locations (for example the market, a school or a hospital) during class, and a large part of the study material are practical activities and exercises, which will aid students to understand and speak Spanish, almost without noticing!
