The Course
The goal of this class is to create a relaxed atmosphere in which you feel comfortable communicating in Spanish while building confidence, sharpening your grammar, and increasing your vocabulary. We aim to help you speak proper Spanish, just like a local salmantino!
You will become proficient in the use of grammatical rules and build fluency by completing written, spoken, and listening exercises. You will create phrases and stories, have conversations on various topics, and interact with your peers using the techniques learned in class.
You will broaden your vocabulary in classes that incorporate a wide range of themes that are easily applied to everday contexts, such as Spanish history, Spanish for business, Spanish cinema, Spanish and Latin American literature, art and culture, current events, politics and gastronomy.
This immersive course will enable you to apply what you learn in class to everyday situations you may encounter throughout the Spanish-speaking world. Furthermore, your familiarity with the Spanish language will boost your career goals, making this course invaluable in the long-term.
Accommodation, Transport & Insurance
At Tía Tula, you’ll feel right at home in various affordable, comfortable accommodations. A host family provides an excellent opportunity for a more immersive experience, while university dormitories and shared apartments allow for more independence.
We thoroughly inspect all accommodations to ensure you have a good stay. In all three types of accommodation, you will have your own room, and you are never more than a short walk from the school.
It is easy to get to most locations by foot, and buses and taxis are readily available. In addition, we provide round trip transfer service to and from Madrid-Barajas Airport, a 24-hour emergency phone line, and insurance to cover any health or travel issues that may arise.
