Q&A - Questions about Spanish courses and schools in Spain

I am looking for a course for senior students during August in a seaside town.
“Usually, courses for senior students have fixed start dates (two or three times a year) often in spring or autumn. If you are not flexible with dates, we can offer lessons especially designed for mature students combined with a set of activities, within the Study and Live in the Teacher's Home programme. Contact us for more information. ”

I am interested in booking the Spanish Programme for 50+. Is the programme available year-round?
“The 50+ program runs on specific dates, twice a year - typically in March and October.
Nevertheless, as an alternative, we will be happy to organize an Intensive Course with students of mixed ages + accommodation. Extra activities are subject to availability but they can be organized on the spot.”

I am looking for a language course with over-50s. I already have a basic/good level of Spanish under my belt. What do you recommend?
“There are several options for 50+ courses in Spain. Some important tips and details:

- Most 50+ courses are a combination of the standard course (all ages), combined with cultural activities just for 50+ students.

- 50+ courses often have only a few start dates per year (spring/autumn), while you can start almost every Monday in a standard course.

- The 50+ courses are incredibly fun to meet peers in, so if a start date suits you, I definitely recommend this. If there is no start date for a 50+ course that suits you, I recommend joining a standard course.

- Also, check the average age of students on the schools' profiles. If you opt for a standard course at a school with a higher average age, this also already gives you a greater chance of meeting peers.

- You could possibly also opt for a business course if a school offers this. There, the average age is usually a lot higher as well.

- The youngest students are on the road during the summer months. So if you prefer not to take classes with incredibly young students, we recommend taking a course outside the summer season.

- Most young students go to big cities; standard courses from schools in smaller locations tend to have a higher average age.

We hope this helps. And if you have any further questions, we are of course happy to help.”

I am over fifty. Which accommodation do you recommend?
“If you are over 50 and prefer to spend time with peers, I recommend that you choose a host family or a private apartment. In the shared apartments generally younger students/tourists stay. The host families are always local residents and the school places students in the most appropriate family in terms of age, with no small children, smoking/non-smoking, et cetera (you can indicate these preferences when booking). If you book half board or full board, you can even practice your language with the host family at the table.”
