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 105 minutes in duration and programmed between the hours of 8:00 am and 8:30 pm.

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!
