The Spanish course programme
Grammar is a tool, not the goal. Focus on speaking practice, real-life situations in Valencia, cultural immersion.
What "communicative" means
- From the very first class, students speak around 60% of the time
- Grammar is taught through situations, not tables
- Every topic is a task (book a table, argue a point, negotiate)
- The teacher speaks only in the target language (from A2+)
The path through the levels
Practical spoken Spanish for living in Spain — not a course built around an official exam. DELE certification is available as a separate module from level A2.
The path has no fixed end date: it is a continuing subscription to your seat in a group, not a course with a start and a finish.
