Intensive language courses in Spain
We have more than 35 years of experience in teaching Spanish. Our school has been teaching intensive language courses in Spain since 1986. As a result, we have developed a unique method, which integrates theory with practice. In other words, we teach Spanish always in context, in and outside the classroom. Most importantly, we encourage students to participate in the everyday life of our seaside town. Welcome to O Grove on the Spanish Atlantic Coast.
In class, we use a variety of materials. For example, textbooks, a variety of games, and our own materials prepared for each level of Spanish classes.
Our experience in teaching Spanish shows that immersion is the best way to learn a foreign language. In other words we want our students communicating as much as possible in the Spanish language. This implies to go outside of the traditional classroom sometimes. As a result, we have carefully structured all our courses around this idea.
We will show you how to have a great time in O Grove. Not only that, we encourage our students to seek their own adventures by showing the different possibilities for putting their Spanish skills to practical use.
Our main objective with our intensive language courses is that students expand their communicative competences. They will learn to use Spanish in different situations in everyday, personal and professional settings. Consequently, at all levels, teachers always give priority to practical conversation.
The small size of the groups allows for a relaxed and personalized environment. Consequently, this strengthens the communicative orientation of our intensive language courses in Spain.
At the end of the Spanish language course each student will receive a certificate of attendance. It specifies the level of the course, its intensity and its duration.
The levels
On the registration form, please indicate the approximate level of your Spanish knowledge. This will help us place you in an appropriate group – although the most important step is for you to take the placement test once you arrive in O Grove.
As a general rule in our school, there are no problems to change levels later. If you think you are between two levels (in Spanish or any of the languages we offer), indicate it by marking the two closest levels (eg: A-1 / A-2, A-2 / B-1, B-1 / B-2, B-2 / C-1) on the registration form. The levels and their contents correspond to the European reference framework for languages.
