Typical Day

Each Institute offers a wide range of programmes for students wishing to learn or improve their Spanish. There are programmes in General Spanish, Commercial Spanish and Hispanic Studies. You will always learn the language with a background of information about life and attitudes in Spain.

The programmes are designed to make our students feel confident in everyday use of the language in a wide range of social situations. From the very first day, Spanish is the only language spoken in class. Teaching is based on modern methods using modern equipment. In addition to up-to-date text books, our Institute has developed materials to add variety to your programme.

Lessons take place in the mornings, Monday to Friday, and sometimes in the afternoons according to student numbers. In order to ensure the highest efficiency, groups are kept very small to a maximum of 8. Upon arrival, students take a placement test to ensure they join the most suitable group.

Sleeping and meals

Half-board (breakfast and lunch) with a selected host family. Private apartments for one or two people are also available.
