Is your level 'Complete Beginner' in Spanish?

If you have any previous knowledge of Spanish it is the best to assess your Spanish via our online written Spanish test, followed by an oral test at the school on the first Monday of your arrival. This is because we always have several lower level Spanish classes, almost complete beginners, so if you are not really a 'compete-complete' beginner we will still have a Spanish class which is exactly the right level for you.

Course duration

You can choose to study at any course for any period of time from 1 week to 1 year. However, only the very first week of your Spanish course can be regarded as complete beginners, as after the first week you will gain confidence and speaking Spanish and will not be beginner any longer.

Class duration

Each class academic hour is 50 minutes of Spanish study.

Spanish books for Beginners

You do not need to purchase study books for the first week of your beginners course - all study materials are developed by the Spanish teachers of our Beginners' Course and will therefore be provided to you during your Spanish class.

Spanish Course certificates

There are two types of certificates provided by our school: the attendance and achivement certificates. The attendance certificate is given to every student at the end of their course, providing that they attended at least 80% of their classes. The achievement certificate is usually used to claim academic credits for students' University degrees.

Communicative Methodology

Our school uses a communicative methodology, which is the most efficient way to learn a foreign language. This means that you will learn Spanish through using it for real communication between you, the teacher and other students in your group, instead of just studying the language passively. This is widely accepted as the most effective and rapid way to achieve a real, practical ability to speak, understand, read and write Spanish. It is also a very enjoyable process! Please consult our educational programme to see the objectives, contents, teaching materials and specification of evaluation for each level divided by week.
