Standard 15
HLI’s home tuition programme in Tenerife will allow you the chance to learn Spanish while living with your teacher in this sunny Spanish paradise in the Canarian Islands. You will take a total of 15 lessons every week, and these classes can be focused on specialist subjects of your choice, or even based on preparing for university or the workplace. A key feature of living with your host teacher and their family is that you have access to an immersive environment, enabling you to learn the Spanish language and Canarian culture even more quickly.
There are some potentially important differences between the north and the south of Tenerife, with the south being characterised by a large expat population and an extensive tourism and entertainment environment - while the north tends to be more rural and inhabited by life-long Tenerife locals (with some exceptions). No matter which side of the island you live in during your Spanish studies, you’ll have interesting lifestyle options to consider, which might include surfing in Taganana or Los Cristianos, or hiking in Anaga or the Teide National Park. If nightlife is what you’re looking for, then Puerto de la Cruz and the majority of the south of Tenerife will meet your needs.
In order to provide support to students and guests, HLI encourages you to get in touch with their Local Organisers working in Tenerife if you ever have any kind of issue with your home tuition programme.

Intensive 20
Student Profile
Students who pursue the Intensive 20 Spanish Program are looking for a flexible program that allows them to experience a full linguistic immersion by giving them extra time to explore the city and culture.
Some students also like the added flexibility the reduced class hours give them because they can mold the program to their own needs by adding private classes or an internship program. Students particularly value having time to experience the culture and language both in and out of the classroom.
The students who prefer the Intensive 20 course are looking for a dynamic and interactive Spanish course with flexibility. There are 20 classes a week with a lot of free time for those who want to visit the city and discover new places.
Benefits This program includes 20 weekly group classes which generally take place in the morning in small group classes with a maximum of 10 students and an average of 6 students. The classes are focused on oral expression and comprehension, as well as written communication and interaction, all of which are essential in learning a new language.
You will be placed in your correct Spanish level following an oral and written placement test that you will take the first day you arrive at the school. Every level starts every Monday. At the end of the program you will be handed a certificate documenting your progress, hours completed, and level of proficiency achieved.

STUDENT PROFILE
Students who start an Intensive course seek to learn Spanish and improve their level in little time, wanting to make the most of the classes by participating in them. In addition, they have a special interest in conversation and cultural classes because their goal is to communicate and speak Spanish every day.
Thanks to the smaller groups each student can actively participate and remain engaged in class. Teachers can respond to the students’ needs if they have any questions and allow the students to share what they have learned with their classmates.
BENEFITS This course is perfect for you to improve your level of Spanish quickly and, especially, to assure your conversational fluency. In addition to the intensive Spanish classes, which will help you develop your level in a short time, the culture and conversation workshops are a fun and entertaining way to interact with your classmates and delve into the Spanish culture.
And, if you still want more, we give you ideas to complement your course: add private lessons or a specialization in business Spanish specific lessons to pass the DELE exam.
Home Tuition 15
It is the most effective way to make rapid progress: you live with your teacher who will give you private language lessons and correct you at all times. It completely immerses you in the language you are learning as you put into practice what you have learnt during your lessons through social interactions and meal times with your host.
The Home Tuition Programme includes: • 15 hours private language lessons per week • Accommodation in your teacher’s home • Meals and social interaction with your host
Choose the number of language lessons you require and personalise your Programme according to your needs, interests and preferences with a multitude of options and specialisations to choose from. Some things cannot be learnt by studying in the traditional way, fluency is achieved through living the language, using the target language constantly and in your everyday life. Culture, entertainment, leisure and current events are embedded in people’s language and these are as much part of the language learning process as the lessons.
