Hello dear students of Spanish,
You are worried about travelling to Spain to take a language course in the current situation? Our returning students have asked us to continue the Spanish course online from home with the same teachers. Together with our teachers team we have adapted our communicative methodology to the online courses. With the help of our beta group, which we have been teaching online during the lockdown, we have perfected our online courses. Thanks to the positive feedback from the students in the beta group, who are familiar with our face-to-face courses, we have managed to create an equivalent learning environment.
The online courses are taught in small groups of 3 to 5 students or as individual lessons, using the videoconferencing platform Zoom. Our online Spanish courses are aimed at all those who would like to learn Spanish from home with the support of native Spanish teachers.
What do I need for an online course?
You only need an internet connection, a (laptop) computer or PC with camera or a tablet and of course motivation to learn Spanish. You can choose between a group course or an individual course for your online learning adventure.
If you have any questions, simply contact us via WhatsApp to Anja +34666302151 or by email to [email protected].
Start your Spanish learning adventure from your living room!
Online course in small groups
To make the classes as effective as possible, we form small groups of 3 to a maximum of 5 participants with the same previous knowledge. Before the course starts, each participant takes a written level test and his/her oral knowledge is evaluated in a short individual video conference with his/her teacher. Thanks to this complete level test we ensure that the virtual learning groups are homogeneous. We offer online courses for the following levels: A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1/C2. If necessary, we create additional groups for students between two levels. Thanks to the Zoom technology, the classes are almost as lively as in the classroom. Role plays that put you in everyday situations, discussions and solving difficult tasks in teams as well as fun games are an essential part of the course. Of course, grammar also plays an important role, but we prepare the grammar topics in such a way that they are directly applied in a practical context. We assign a teacher to each course, who accompanies the whole learning progress. Each class is one hour (60 minutes) which has proved to be the optimum duration for maintaining a high level of attention. At the end of each class you will receive assignments from your teacher to reinforce the content you have learned. The assignments will take approximately one hour and once completed you will send them to your teacher for correction. You can ask your teacher questions and get feedback through a WhatsApp group especially created for your course.
