Intensive Spanish course for parents in the summer holidays

This intensive Spanish course is for adults who come to our family programs with their children during the summer vacations. The Spanish course for parents usually takes place in the afternoon from 4 p.m. at the same time as the children’s course. In the mornings, most of the children who come to our children’s courses participate in the children’s activities organized in Prado del Rey for the local children, which are a fun immersion opportunity. Parents have the mornings free and can use them to work or relax. Alternatively, the children can do activities with their parents or mother/father in the mornings.

Don’t worry, if it’s hot outside in the summer afternoons, you’re in good hands in our air-conditioned classrooms.

The 20 lessons per week are divided into 4 Spanish lessons of 45 minutes each per day from Monday to Friday. Together with other Spanish course participants of the same level, you will learn the four language skills of listening comprehension, speaking, reading comprehension and writing as well as the grammar required to speak correctly. In many practical exercises you will practice the acquired structures of the Spanish language and so it will be easier to retain them. In this Spanish course you will learn to express yourself clearly and with confidence in real life situations. From the basic levels on we incorporate authentic material, i.e. newspaper articles, literary texts as well as texts, videos from the internet (forums, blogs, YouTube, social networks), films and audio recordings of natives. In higher levels we treat more complex themes.

Conversational training

In the Spanish courses for adults we usually dedicate the last part of the class to a conversation topic chosen by the students. These debates moderated by our Spanish teachers are very popular among our adult students because they can improve their oral skills in an informal way without paying attention to applying certain grammatical structures.

Maximum 6 people per class

The Spanish classes with a maximum of 6 people per group are very intensive. From the first day on your Spanish teacher and you will speak Spanish only, which has been proved to be the best method. It is a bit hard at the beginning but your brain gets used to it quickly and you start to think in Spanish. Your teacher gives you the resources to be able to ask questions and make sentences in Spanish.

All levels

This Spanish course can be taken at all 6 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. With our entry level test, which we make available to you online before the course, we determine the right level for you and form the appropriate learning groups.

Class schedule

During the summer vacations, the Spanish classes usually take place from Monday to Friday between 16:00 and 19:30, with variations depending on the composition and level of the group. The schedule will be agreed upon after the evaluation of the level tests. A Spanish class (also called “lesson” or “hour” in the text) lasts 45 minutes in all cases.

Leisure activities

If you would like to do activities and excursions with your children before the classes or during the weekend, the language school team will organize leisure activities which the families are interested in and will also be happy to give you advice on activities that you can do on your own.

Practicing Spanish beyond the classroom

Prado del Rey is an authentic Andalusian town without being influenced by international tourism. The language students who come here to learn Spanish are usually the only foreigners in this town, so you will have many occasions to communicate in Spanish and to experience life in “the real Spain”. The inhabitants of Prado del Rey are open-minded and helpful towards the language students, and many of them are interested in learning more about other countries’ culture and habits as well as in sharing their knowledge about their own culture.
