The Spanish Lessons

You’ll receive Spanish lessons according to your current level. By giving you an assessment examination, both oral and written, we test your current level. Weekly examinations are offered to measure your progress.

If you want to study more than one week you can choose between group or individual classes.

We want to fit your individual learning needs by using different teaching methods. The objective is not only that you have a good understanding of grammar, but also that you know how to use it while writing speaking and reading.

Speaking: A very important objective of the lessons is that you use the grammar learned to have conversations in the streets. Teachers will use materials, roll plays and activities to make you talk about different subjects, using all the grammar you've had before.

Reading: You get to read articles, literature, fairy tales, and more... out loud. This will improve your pronunciation and you will learn new vocabulary. These reading texts are also used to open up discussions.

Listening: To improve your listening skills, you get to listen to songs filling in missing words, recorded fairy tales or videostapes. All these materials are used to practice different grammar subjects. Like reading texts, you learn new vocabulary and discus the recordings later.

Writing: Your writing skills are tested while making exercises in class, writing short stories or making homework.

Grammar: Grammar is taught in an interactive way. The teachers will test your understanding constantly by asking examples from you. Sometimes teachers make you discover the grammar rules by yourself using short stories or video.

Testing: Teachers will test your speaking, reading, listening and writing level constantly in class by practicing it with you. You can also ask for a test after a period of time to measure your improvements.

Group classes are given to a maximum of 4 persons, to ensure individual attention as well as the positive aspects of group interaction. The persons in the group must have the same Spanish proficiency.*
Group classes are normally 4 hours a day.**

In the afternoon from 14:30 to 18:50, with a break from 16:30 to 16:50.

* Group classes normally start on Mondays. If there aren't any persons with the same level of Spanish, you receive individual classes, according to the group structure, for the price of group classes.
** An hour of classes is 60 minutes.

Individual classes are more flexible, you can take 2 hours a day or more. The classes will be tailor-made according to your wishes. Individual lessons are a good option;
- If you only have 1 week of time and your a beginner. Then you can best take individual lessons and focus on usefull conversation skills.
- If you want a review of different grammar items
- If there is a big difference between your oral and your written level
- If you are a professional and you want to learn specific vocabulary related to your occupation, such as a technician or medic.

We also teach Spanish to children from 9 to 15 years old in a special and individual way, using plays, drawings and fairy tales.

Apart from individual and group lessons you can take semi-individual lessons or combine individual and group lessons.

Semi-individual lessons are possible if you are with a group of friends (maximium 4), who have the same level. You then can agree on how many hours you would like to study and on a focus, like you would in individual lessons. These lessons are called semi-individual lessons.

A combination of group classes and individual classes, is possible. For example;
- the first 2 weeks in a group and the second 2 weeks individual.
- or in the morning 4 hours of group lessons and in the afternoon 2 hours of individual lessons.

Students can decide every week which type of lessons fits best their needs.

Students can make use of free internet access and make low rate international calls. To give you an impression of the school, check out these photos.

Our courses are taught by teachers who speak Spanish as a native language to assure effective and fast learning. The objective is that you speak as much Spanish as possible. The teachers have a basic understanding of the English language to help you get started with the basic vocabulary.

They are all university graduates with at least two years of experience in the teaching. Here we present you the teachers we have.
