Spanish in Playa del Carmen
The method
We have developed an open, flexible and interactive method of teaching, drawing on our years of experience, our understanding of the cognitive process of language learning, and our continual reflection on the desires and interests of our students. You’ll learn Spanish as you learnt your native language – through practice and continuous communication. We adapt our method to meet both individual student needs and the demands of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
We strive to transform our classrooms into lively, interactive spaces providing the ideal elements for you to quickly attain your Spanish language goals. To do this, we mix a variety of tasks and activities: communicative and interactive, grammatical and cultural. We will truly immerse you in the Spanish language and Hispanic culture!
Small groups
At our school, you’ll always be the center of attention. Within the Intensive and Super-intensive courses, you will never study in a group of more than 8 students.
Levels
We offer 6 basic levels in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages:
Beginners A1:
Develop ability and confidence in basic Spanish communication in familiar environments and interaction with native speakers in Hispanic countries.
Beginner A2:
Develop the ability to maintain a simple conversation in familiar environments and daily situations, expressing ideas in the present, past and future tenses.
Intermediate B1:
Develop ability in communication and linguistic competency to engage in conversations on nonspecialist topics.
Advanced B2:
Gain the necessary linguistic skills to be able to effectively structure an oral or written discussion.
Superior C1:
Further knowledge of Hispanic language and culture.
Mastery C2:
Eliminate any errors and differentiate between minor linguistic subtleties.
The classes
We’ll expect you at school at eight o’clock on Monday morning – the first day of the course – to test your language level. If Monday coincides with a public holiday, we will start on Tuesday. If you are a complete beginner, you won’t have to take the placement test, but you will still need to arrive at the school at the same time to get your bearings and start learning as soon as possible.
You will have at least four classes each day, with a half an hour break. Each class lasts for 50 minutes. They take place between 9 am and 7 pm. You may have classes in the morning or in the afternoon. Your schedule will depend on several elements (the current groups, your level, type of course, etc) and will be decided once you have arrived.
Your certificate
After completing the course you will receive a certificate for the whole course if you have attended at least 85% of the classes.
This will record: the course you have taken, duration, objectives and level of Spanish, special subjects, additional courses and number of hours. If you have attended less than 85% of your classes, the certificate will only record the actual number of classes (hours) you attended. For students from the United States, we give the assessment results according to the American grading system.

You can also choose a mixed option: group class on an Intensive course + individual classes.
