Their intensive courses in small groups focus on communication and their Outdoor Classes and Cultural Activities are unique occasions to practice your Spanish and discover the island. You’ll make a great experience out of a Spanish course.

Additional information

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: I would suggest that students try to use the weekends to see other parts of the island; to hire a car if possible. Gran Canarias has much to offer and it would be a shame not to venture beyond Las Palmas. We found the cultural progam very enjoyable and informative and it was a pity that we were the only ones to take advantage of it.

Other comments: We enjoyed our time with the administrators of the course, Monika and Angel, when we participated in the cultural program. Both were friendly, informative and great company.

“Friendliness of the teachers and staff, quality of the classes is really high, excursions and activities that are fun, interesting and offered at an affordable price. And most of all the passion with which the people there work.”
