During the 20h intensive Spanish course, you’ll study 20 hours of Spanish each week and cover up to 6 levels of the CASA program. The course is designed to help you complete one level every 2 weeks.
Intensive Spanish course lessons are 4 hours every day, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 to 13:00. Class is divided into two blocks, one teacher for each half, with a small break in the middle.

Learn Spanish in one of the most exciting and beautiful cities in the world
We started learning practical Spanish from day one and by the end of the first week I was already able to have basic conversations with cashiers, friends, and people I met while out and about. There’s no better motivation than being able to use the words and phrases you learn in class to immediately connect with people. The quality of learning also stems from the quality of teaching, and I can’t speak highly enough of my professor at the school. In addition to a varied pedagogical approach (which keeps the whole class engaged for 4 hours at a time) and an endless amount of enthusiasm for the subject, she’s also a great source of knowledge about Spanish culture. She’s constantly recommending songs, books, food, festivals and other ways to engage with the language and culture outside of class. My classmates also bring a diverse range of backgrounds to the classroom. It’s great learning about Camino de Santiago with an architect in class who can talk about the history of Romanesque architecture in Spain, or learning about linguistic similarities between Spanish and Swedish, Dutch or German from students from those countries.
