Our Spanish language schools belong to the best and most reputable
of the country. They are all members of national and international language
school associations.
The lessons in all of our schools are taught by highly qualified teachers
with university degrees. From the very beginning, it goes without saying,
that all lessons are held only in the new language. Learning methods
are centred around role games and discussions. The learning effect is
augmented with audio-tapes, videos, newspapers and magazines as well
as modern Spanish music.
Each student gets a certificate for every course passed.

It is important to establish the language level of participants for
all Spanish courses. Before starting a course placement tests indicate
the suitable group level.
Level A: Even with beginners it is spoken English, Spanish, French,
Italian or German from the first day. Don't worry! You will pick up
the language in a delightfully playful manner. At the end of the course,
participants are able to express themselves correctly in general situations.
The basic knowledge of the language will have been acquired.
Level B: The main aim is to strengthen and deepen the knowledge
of the grammar. Conversation plays an important role. Moreover, participants
are already able to understand parts of newspapers, magazines and literary
texts as well as discussing them. In this way, participants improve
their capabilities for expressing themselves and improving their vocabulary.
Level C: At this level more attention is paid to perfect the
grammar. You also start learning the different levels of the language,
for instance: the colloquial and written language as well as more technical
terminology.
Level D: Congratulations to the ones who get to this point or
have already reached it! Grammatical and conversational mistakes that
"always" occur will be corrected. We strive to perfect your
knowledge.
Basicly each school operates according to this system. Mostly it is
usual to form also intermediate groups in order to approximate the level
of the course participants within each group.

Standard Course:
4 units, each 45 to 55 minutes, 5 days a week. This course is ideal
for those who want to have enough time to make holidays. Remember, you
also learn outside of the school! You can practice everywhere and anytime.
E.g. in restaurants, bars, during sightseeing or at the beach.
Intensive Course:
6 units, each 45 to 55 minutes, 5 days a week. This course is designed
for participants who want to learn the language in a shorter time while
still enjoying their holidays.
One to One
Our schools also offer lessons on a One-to-One basis. An individual
programme can be shaped according to the specific needs of the participant.
You can get a "One-to-One" course also in combination with
a group course.
Standard Course or Intensive Course Plus
In addition to the standard or intensive course, participants can attend
3 to 10 weekly lessons of individual training. This is ideal for speeding
up the learning process and enabling special themes to be dealt with.
Combination Courses
Learning at different places, e.g. in the city and at the beach (Spanish
in Granada and Malaga or Spanish in Granada and Almuñécar).
Long Term Course
Learn your language for 3 months or more!!! The schools offer a rich
and lively programme for those who decide to learn in this extremely
interesting and effective way. Besides perfecting grammar and pronunciation,
the timetable also includes the news in economics, tourism, culture,
music, cinema, art, history or sport. Use this great opportunity to
get to know the way of life in foreign countries. You will return home
enriched with many new experiences.
D.E.L.E.
D.E.L.E. "Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera"
is the only Spanish certificate for someone whose mother tongue is not
Spanish. The D.E.L.E. is divided into three levels: the basic level
(Inicial), intermediate level (Diploma Básico de Español)
and advanced level (Diploma Superior de Español). You can compare
the D.E.L.E. with the "Preliminary English Test", the "First
Certificate of Cambridge" and the "Proficiency Certificate
of Cambridge" in English. Most of our schools will prepare you
in the most efficient way.
Specific Areas / Business Language
The basic requirements, to really take advantage of a special course,
are an intermediate language knowledge, reasonable fluency, knowledge
of the most important grammar rules and an intermediate command of vocabulary.
Business Language: Besides the group lessons, which provide English
skills necessary for everyday communication, there is a specific training
of 5-10 lessons a week. The schools offer tailored business language
programmes according to the demand of international business communication.
Students in small groups will develop spoken business communication
skills in areas such as presentations, meetings, negotiations, telephoning
and social language. They will also improve written business communication
skills including formal letters, reports, presentations, emails and
faxes.

in a special field or on a managerial level. The lessons start at breakfast
with the teacher and end at dinner (Spanish in Granada).
