Spanish and hiking in Granada

Program Description

This Spanish course includes 4 classes per day which allows students to complement their holidays with language study. The course is recommended for those who wish to combine a relaxed language course with the study of Spanish culture in real life situations. Students who are new to learning Spanish from scratch or looking to improve their linguistic skills are more than welcome to join. Classes are conducted entirely in Spanish and are divided into two distinct parts. The first part deals with the Spanish language itself, explaining its grammatical structures and communicative functions. The second part contains specific topics in order to combine cultural themes with individual oral skills.

We will send you a written test to determine your level as well as a self-assessment oral test along with the course documents. Students must turn in all documents at least one week before the Spanish course begins. All Spanish courses begin on Monday.

Spanish classes are capped at 8 students per group and are held from Monday to Friday between 09.00 and 15.45 h. There are 4 Spanish lessons every day, lasting 45 minutes each. Students are placed into groups (A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2) determined by their placement exams. Our teachers are very skilled at placing students' language abilities. Starting dates for all levels in 2018: every Monday.

We offer 2 guided hiking afternoons in addition to a general Spanish course (Group size 1 to 2 students).
