The StandardCourse consists of 20 hours a week. In this

the grammar with minimal effort while your vocabulary increases
every day. The sufficient amount of spare time gives you the

culture. This course is perfect if you wish to combine
your vacation with language classes or if you have business
obligations.

faster.
The Standard Plus Course

will frequently be in the same classes for the first 4 hours.
For the extra 2 hours a day the students practice and consolidate
the spoken language introduced in the previous lessons. Spanish
is the only language used during the classes which will increase
your ability to speak and understand Spanish every day.
This course is designed
to encourage quick progress in Spanish communication. Classes
are small with 6-10 participants per group and the course duration
is 1 till 20 weeks. The level of Spanish spoken in class is

etc.) who only have a limited amount of time to study abroad.
The
Individual Spanish Course consists of 15-,
20-, or 30 hours a week. This means you can take private
classes of three-, four or six hours a day.
You can take an individual
course from 1 up to 16 weeks. It's also possible to start in
this course and then later change to a group course if you like.
Individual classes guarantee a fast progress in learning the
language and offers more flexibility on topics the student has
difficulties with or finds important such as commercial Spanish,
exam preparation or specific areas of the language, such as
grammar, comprehension skills and oral communication.
The individual Spanish Course allows the teacher to concentrate
exclusively on the student's personal needs.
