Academic spanish

Our traditional Academic Spanish program is exactly what you would picture if you were to enroll in Spanish at a university— except we’re obviously a lot more fun! Think grammar, spelling, syntax, and every other tool you could possibly need to learn our language. These internationally certified courses are organized by Spanish levels A1 through C2, and can be purchased by the week, level, or taken as part of our Student Visa Program. We have carefully designed an engaging curriculum that teaches you the Spanish you actually need to converse comfortably with natives out on the streets, as quickly as possible. 

The aim of this program is to guide students through each of the Spanish levels and sublevels, in a way that provides true mastery over the language. Is this program learning-intensive? Yes. Will you have to take notes? Absolutely. However, if you are committed to the process, you will be amazed by the results. At some point along the way, there will be a moment when you realize you are no longer just memorizing random words and phrases to get by; you will be speaking Spanish, like actually speaking Spanish, without relying on any translators. This pivotal moment is a magical one, and we have created an entire program to inspire it within every student who walks through our doors.

Our Academic Spanish service can be taken either as an Extension Course or as Academic Spanish Programs for Foreigners.

Our extension course includes the Pre-A1 level, designed for students who are having their first contact with the Spanish language. It has a total intensity of 30 hours.

For those interested in certifying their Spanish level, completing a full program from a professional Spanish-teaching institution, or applying for a student visa, we offer our Academic Spanish Programs for Foreigners.
