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

I am looking for a senior course with lessons for seniors in the morning. It should not be a mixed age group, but please only other older students in the same class.

“Schools often do not have enough pupils in an age group to divide the pupils by age group as well as level. For example, if there are 10 seniors, but they have 5 different levels, then no real group can be formed at any level and private lessons are hardly possible for the schools.

If 5/6 senior students with the same level and the same duration (start and end on the same day) register together, then we can organise this with the schools. Ask your friends or classmates from the Spanish course at home if they would like to come along. We book many smaller groups and there is a group discount too!”

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'm enquiring about 50+ Spanish Course. Can I start any Monday?

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.”
