Learn Spanish in Granada, Spain! Join our Spanish language programme in Granana, Andalusia.
We have taught Spanish as a foreign language since 1986. Our Spanish school is located in Granada, one of the most fascinating cities in Andalusia, southern Spain. The Spanish language programmes are held throughout the year and are accredited by the Spanish Instituto Cervantes.
The friendly atmosphere and personal touch in our Spanish classes and the Andalusian charm of Granada will make your stay an unforgettable experience.
All courses begin on the first day. Classes are restricted to a maximum of 8 students and are held from Monday to Friday between 9.00 a.m. and 6.30 p.m. There are 4, 5 or 6 lessons of language instruction per day, each lasting 45 minutes. We have classes suitable for complete beginners as well as more advanced students. Courses can range from 1-24 weeks.
Granada, the birthplace of the poet Federico García Lorca, is without doubt one of the most fascinating cities in southern Spain. It is also an important university town with almost 300,000 inhabitants and more than 60,000 students.
With its world-famous Alhambra, rich culture and lively nightlife, it is the ideal place for both studying and taking a holiday: enjoy a weekend on the Mediterranean coast; participate in winter sports, horse-riding or trekking in the Sierra Nevada; take a trip to the marvellous villages of the Alpujarra mountains; watch gypsy flamenco in Sacromonte and dance salsa and tango in one of Granada's many exciting bars; visit the Arabic baths or stroll through the narrow streets of the old Moorish quarter of the Albaicín. These are just a few of the many possibilities.
Private Accommodation - Category I
Single and double rooms in shared flats with Spanish residents; normally young couples or people living alone. Students share kitchen, bathroom and communal areas. We recommend this option to students who book a long-term course and who already have a good knowledge of Spanish.
Private Accommodation - Category II
These are shared flats with other students from the school. The flats have 2 or more single and double rooms. Students share kitchen, bathroom and communal areas. This option allows students to live in an international environment
Host family
We recommend this accommodation option for younger students or those who do not wish to cook for themselves. Accommodation includes breakfast and half or full board. Students have their meals with the family, and this offers an ideal and enjoyable opportunity to experience and practice the Spanish language.
Student Residence
The Student Residence with single and double rooms is located in the heart of the city. Accommodation includes breakfast and half or full board. This option allows students to live in an environment with both international and Spanish students and learn Spanish in Granada.

The two teachers I had were excellent, which I think make all the difference, and contributed to a wonderful experience. (more)
how this holiday makes a difference
|
We are a non-profit co-operative organization whose members each participate in the decision-making process of the school and receive the same salary. All of our teachers are native speakers with university degrees, and they are specialists in teaching Spanish as a foreign language in Granada.
All of the private accommodation offered to students is selected carefully by the school and is within walking distance. The school pays the rents entirely to the accommodations and only charges a small commission to cover the administration expenses. All fees paid by the students for cultural activities go entirely to local guides and companies. The school only charges a small commission to cover the administration expenses. The school offers weekly conferences concerning ecological local problems; we collaborate with the WWF and donate on a regular base for the campaign www.salvalince.com We endeavor, if requested, to find a suitable language partner from Granada who is learning your native language. This enhances the language learning process, promotes intercultural exchange and encourages autodidactic learning methods. We also work with local non-government organisations in the field of language learning. The school offers on a regular base free Spanish Courses for african immigrants and refugees to learn Spanish in Granada. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
