MARBELLA
______________
Marbella is a cosmopolitan Spanish town located in one of the most beautiful and vibrant areas of Spain.
The mildness of the Mediterranean climate, with a very high number of sunny days a year, makes Marbella the perfect place to live, to do sports, to relax and to study Spanish.
It welcomes more than 200.000 worldwide tourists per year, which makes it one of the main tourist destinations in Spain. At present, Marbella is the home-town chosen by well-known and famous international artists such as Antonio Banderas & Melanie Griffith, Rod Stewart, Julio Iglesias, etc.
It has got excellent sport facilities: sailing, windsurfing, horse-riding, tennis, hang-gliding, volleyball, etc and it is only two hours way from the ski resort in Granada.

>> TTEACHING METHODS
At our Spanish language school in Marbella we believe that real learning is not simply confined to memorising a series of facts isolated from their context and the surrounding world.
Our Spanish school wishes to immerse students in the Spanish life style and culture, through the most modern and effective teaching techniques (using role-plays, rhythm exercises, word games, etc.).
At the same time, we prepare students for real intercultural communication.
