You may combine your group lessons with individual Spanish classes if you want a more personalized approach to your language learning and to progress even more quickly.
Group Course
GROUP CLASSES:
The school believes group classes are the best way to practice what you learn and build up confidence. As you will be conversing with other students, your understanding of the language will grow much faster than it would by yourself! You don’t need to worry about pairing with a more fluent speaker either; they have six different ability groups designed to match you with students on the same level as you.
These mini-group Spanish classes take up 20 hours a week and are comprised of two 2-hour lessons per day, 5 days a week. They’ll have you fluent in no time!
Individual students getting the attention they need is important to them. That is why they have a maximum of 6 students per class, so each student gets lengthy and focused help. Morning classes consist of 2 hours of grammar-based learning, while the afternoons use 2 hours of conversational Spanish with an active, hands-on approach that has proven extremely effective. Many of the students enjoy practising their new Spanish abilities with locals in town and by participating in additional activities, such as a Spanish cooking class or yoga classes!
