Standard language course

The method in this course is based on a general tuition, which is divided into ten levels. The basic language course lasts from 2 to 16 weeks, but can be continued in the complementary standard course up to 10 months.

The studies will cover all aspects of the Spanish language: listening, talking, reading and writing. There are daily homework assignments and every Friday there will be a weekly grammar review.

The course programme meets the Spanish Ministry of Education’s DELE examination requirements. You can register at the CILE for these examinations. For more detailed information the CILE provides the "DELE Information Sheet" on request.

The structure of the courses is the following: The first two lessons are dedicated to grammar studies, related with exercises, and after a break of half an hour, the next two lessons are dedicated to vocabulary development, reading, writing, oral comprehension of radio programmes, video sessions, discussions, work with newspapers, etc.. It also exists the possibility to enrol only for grammar or conversation lessons.

LEVEL A: ELEMENTARY. No Spanish background is required. The programme provides an introduction to essential grammatical structures. You will learn to use and understand basic vocabulary in normal daily situations.

LEVEL B: INTERMEDIATE. A little spoken and written Spanish is required. You will consolidate your knowledge and acquire more ability to use Spanish in conversation and daily situations.

LEVEL C: ADVANCED. A fairly well spoken and written Spanish is required. You will learn to communicate correctly and naturally. The programme includes advanced grammar, idiomatic usage, reading comprehension and composition work.

LEVEL D: SUPERIOR. For those who have a very good command of Spanish, theoretical and practical. At this stage you will consolidate, upon a short review of advanced grammar, your ability to use the language to express your own ideas perfectly, spoken or written

Complementary Standard Language Course

 We offer 6 complementary courses to the general language course for the students who can stay for a longer period  and want to acquire a more profound knowledge of the language. That means that  you can go on with the 4-months-General Language Course up to 10 months.

Intensive and Superintensive Courses

If you don’t have much time to learn or improve your Spanish, these courses provide more rapid results in less time than the Standard Language Course.

You can choose the Intensive Course, with 6 lessons a day, four of them in a group of the standard language course (max. 8 students/group), and 2 extra lessons in a special intensive course group (max. 6 students/group).

If you need more personal attention, you can enrol for the Superintensive Course, also with 6 lessons/day, 4 lessons in a Standard Language Course group and 2 extra private lessons.

One-to-One

For those who want a special attention of the teacher or want to learn special topics, we offer One-to-One tuition. These courses can also be combined with the normal group courses.
