Cursos de Espanhol em Espanha
& América Latina

Our schools of Spanish in Malaga offer a wide range of courses for students wishing to learn or to improve their Spanish. The students will always learn the language with a background of information about life and and attitudes in Spain.

 The courses are designed to make our students feel confident in daily use of the language in all kinds of social situations. From the first day on Spanish is the only language spoken in class.

Teaching is based on modern methods and equipment. In addition to up-to-date text books, our schools have developed own study material to give more variety to the courses.

Lessons (1 lesson = 45 min.) are usually held in the morning, from Monday to Friday, but if the number of students requires, there can be also lessons in the afternoon.

To assure the highest efficiency groups are kept very small (max. 8 students). Students with previous knowledge have to do an evaluation examen in order to find the most suitable class concerning their level.

We offer following Spanish language courses:

Course 20h
4 classes a day from Monday to Friday

The method in this course is based on a general tuition, which is divided into ten levels. The basic language course lasts from 2 to 16 weeks, but can be continued in the complementary standard course up to 10 months.

The studies will cover all aspects of the Spanish language: listening, talking, reading and writing. There are daily homework assignments and every Friday there will be a weekly grammar review.

The structure of the courses is the following: The first two lessons are dedicated to grammar studies, related with exercises, and after a break of half an hour, the next two lessons are dedicated to vocabulary development, reading, writing, oral comprehension of radio programmes, video sessions, discussions, work with newspapers, etc.

Course 30h and Course 20+5h or 20+10h
If you dont have much time to learn or improve your Spanish, these courses provide more rapid results in less time than the Standard Language Course.

You can choose the Intensive Course (Course 30h), with 6 lessons a day, four of them in a group of the standard language course (max. 8 students/group), and 2 extra lessons in a special intensive course group (max. 6 students/group).

If you need more personal attention, you can enrol for our Superintensive Course with 4 lessons in a group and 1 (Malaga 2) or 2 (Malaga 1 & 2) extra private lessons a day.

Learn Spanish while living with your teacher!

This course is different from any other. It consists in living and learning Spanish at your teachers home, which means being taught and corrected not only during class but at all time. It is not only taught through a textbook, but rather, by practising living Spanish as if it were your own language. The teacher and his/her family devote exclusive time to the difficulties and problems faced by an individual student, unless he/she chooses to share the family and the class in a two-student option. In this case, both students will be from different countries, so that they will not be able to speak to each other in their mother tongue.

Some of the leisure activities, such as chatting over a meal, watching TV, family visits and social life are carried out in Spanish with the Spanish family and its friends. If the student has chosen the two-student-option and there is not a second student available, the fees will remain the same but the class time is reduced from 15 to 10 and from 20 to 12 ½ lessons a week, thus becoming private lessons.

You can start on any day of the year (except public holidays) and the duration of the course is from one week onwards. This course is suited for students of all ages and levels.

LEVEL A: ELEMENTARY. No Spanish background is required. The programme provides an introduction to essential grammatical structures. You will learn to use and understand basic vocabulary in normal daily situations.

LEVEL B: INTERMEDIATE. A little spoken and written Spanish is required. You will consolidate your knowledge and acquire more ability to use Spanish in conversation and daily situations.

LEVEL C: ADVANCED. A fairly well spoken and written Spanish is required. You will learn to communicate correctly and naturally. The programme includes advanced grammar, idiomatic usage, reading comprehension and composition work.

LEVEL D: SUPERIOR. For those who have a very good command of Spanish, theoretical and practical. At this stage you will consolidate, upon a short review of advanced grammar, your ability to use the language to express your own ideas perfectly, spoken or written.
