FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long until I reach B1?
On average 200–250 hours from A0. At 4 hours a week — around 12–14 months. The intensive cuts it to 4–5 months.
What's the difference between Spain's Spanish and Latin American?
C/Z pronunciation (theta vs sa), pronouns (vosotros vs ustedes), some vocabulary. At A1–A2 the difference is minimal.
Do I need English to learn Spanish with you?
No. Teachers speak Spanish from A2+; at A1 they may switch to Russian/English to explain.
When should I start DELE prep?
3–4 months before the exam. First diagnosis, then a dedicated course covering the 4 sections + mock exams.
Can I join a group mid-course?
A2+ — yes, any Monday. A1 (beginners) — only on specific start dates (see /calendar/).
Can I study online from abroad?
Yes, mini-groups of up to 5 in Google Meet. We adapt the schedule to your timezone.
What if I miss a class?
Group classes aren't made up; one-to-one can be rescheduled. Class recording is on the e-learning platform.
Where to stay near the school?
Cabanyal or Camí Fondo — affordable rentals, 5 min walking to the school. We have a list of trusted landlords.
Can I study with kids?
For adults — group classes (parents on course, kids in our summer camp).
Discounts and packs?
Discounts: 12+ weeks paid (−10%), couples (−7%), students (−15%). See /prices/.
