The Intensive Course
Dates & Fees 2008

This is our standard 4 lesson per day programme of general Spanish. It is offered at all levels from total beginner to advanced and covers all aspects of the Spanish language.

Students wanting a slightly more intensive version with an emphasis on oral skills can choose to take our oral communications skill option and study for 24 or 26 lessons per week.

The teaching programme has been carefully designed to provide an intensive, progressive course, with a good balance between the various skills and continual practice of the new points introduced each day. Each day’s classwork is further reinforced by an average of 1-2 hours of integrated homework.

It is offered in progressive 2-week units and longer stay students will normally complete the entire programme in 20-24 weeks. Students who wish to enrol for longer than this should consider the Hispanic Studies programme. In advanced classes there are also introductory lessons on Spanish culture, history, geography etc.
