Spanish Language and Culture: Basic, Independent and Proficient User

About

Do you want to take your Spanish skills to the next level on the Spanish Mediterranean coast? This is your course!

Our Spanish summer courses aim to provide you with the essential grammar and necessary language aspects according to your level (basic, independent or proficient), as well as to immerse yourself in the Spanish culture. What is learning a language without reference to its community? In this course, you will enhance your communicative skills while you get in touch with the southern Spanish socio-cultural context in Almeria!

Compared to other courses in Spanish, our courses make it the other way round (or as we say in Span, “le damos la vuelta a la tortilla”): the cultural contents are the starting point for grammar and linguistic explanations, and not vice versa. First culture, then grammar!

With this course, you will actively participate while using the language as a work tool to communicate not only in class, but also during your stay in our city. Ready to take the challenge?

Note: all the modules will be taught in Spanish.
