Newcomers to the school will take an informal test to determine their current level of Spanish. Don't worry, you can't fail! The test helps us to determine your current knowledge of Spanish so that classes can be tailored specifically to your level right from day one!
To ensure good progress, we recommend that students take between two and four hours of classes per day, including weekends.
All classes take place in a relaxed atmosphere with a coffee
break after two hours of lessons. During the break, students can relax
and mingle with other teachers and students. We offer free tea, coffee, hot chocolate and bread every day (Friday is usually the pizza day!). Occasionally, there are also farewell parties after the classes with food and refreshments.
Thanks for learning Spanish with us.!
