Q&A - Questions about Spanish courses and schools in Spain

  • If you are looking for paddle boarding lessons, it is good to know that this combination is actually only offered in the summer months (Apr-Oct). This is because in the winter months, the sea is too rough for paddle boarding. However, if you are already a good surfer you could do water sports in the north of Spain in winter.
    Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 18, 2024
  • Banks in Spain are open from 9:00 to 14:00. There are a few exceptions.
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 19, 2024
  • The courses do not usually have an exam at the end. There are exam preparation courses where via the
    schools you can then register for exams. However, the schools usually issue a certificate of attendance with the level achieved in the course.
    Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 12, 2024
  • We do not have a filter to classify schools by size.
    However, you will find the information for each school in their description: when you look at the list of schools, it is right below the school name.
    Melanie Besnard, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 07, 2024
  • Unfortunately, we have no influence on the course names, as these are determined by the respective schools.

    For orientation purposes, we have added the note "Recognised as educational leave in:" and the flags of the respective federal states to the respective schools on our website to simplify the search for schools for educational leave.
    Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 19, 2024
  • As far as the host family is concerned, you are never too young or too old to choose this option. The advantage is that you have contact with locals and can also use the language.
    Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 21, 2023
  • Cities such as Barcelona, Málaga and Madrid are easily accessible by train at European level.
    Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 21, 2023
  • I can offer you different private schools, it all depends on your budget.
    Unfortunately, we do not collaborate with public schools.
    Melanie Besnard, LanguageCourse.Net - May 12, 2023
  • We don't currently work with any schools that mixes juniors and adults in the same group classes, but if you are on the same level we can find a school that offers semiprivate courses for the two of you.
    Louise Granath, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 04, 2023
  • There are specific courses for seniors. It should be noted that the language lessons always take place in a mixed-age group, as you are divided according to level. The additional activities take place in a senior group.
    Diana Becker, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 03, 2023
  • In this case, the north of Spain is highly recommended. These include the regions of Galicia (Vigo, Santiago de Compostela) or the Basque Country (San Sebastián). In summer, temperatures rarely exceed 30 degrees.
    Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 21, 2023
  • You should check schools that are accredited by the Cervantes Institute as they are the only ones which can prepare the invitation for the student visa.

    Almost all the schools listed on our website have such an accreditation. Under the name of each school you can see all the accreditations the school has.
    Irina Zotova, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 20, 2023
  • We do not organise group travel; students, whatever their age, must travel to their chosen destination by their own means. What can be booked when booking the course is the airport pick-up service (one way, return or round trip).
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 06, 2023
  • Most likely, you would have to find accommodation on your own if you want to be staying with your daughter - rooms are generally offered only to students. Sometimes schools can make an exception in such situations, specially in low season, so we will check this possibility for you.
    Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 19, 2022
  • Group courses are not available to all schools, and you must always submit the appropriate group form accessible from the Assistance and Support heading on the main page of the site, and you can also get a list via the appropriate filter found at the bottom of the page after the list of schools: Groups / PON
    Antonio Zoppo, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 07, 2022
  • Usually the accommodation is from Sunday to Saturday. It depends on the school. In case you wish to arrive one day earlier or departure one day later, this might be possible if the school still has free places and agrees to it. In any case, the school has to be consulted first and the extra night would be charged.
    Diana Becker, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 01, 2022
  • Thank you very much for contacting us, but I regret to inform you that, on this occasion, we will not be able to help you. It is the schools themselves, and not us, who select their staff (teachers / instructors), so I recommend that you contact them directly, and I wish you the best of luck in your search!
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 16, 2022
  • The school will issue a certificate of attendance on the last day of your course. For visa purposes, you may need an official certificate (DELE Certificate).
    Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 27, 2022
  • The material is provided on the first day of class, according to your level. In case you already have any books, we can check with the school if they use the same material and let you know.
    Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 17, 2022
  • In Spain, the programmes for students under 16 are available between the last week of June and the first week of August of each year.
    The minimum required age to book tuition and accommodation on any other dates is 16 years old.
    Ana Carolina, LanguageCourse.net - Aug 24, 2022

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Spanish courses in Spain

  • The idea that Spanish with an Andalusian accent is easier to learn than Castilian Spanish just because of the pronunciation is a bit subjective and depends on the learner's perspective. Andalusian Accent: If you're just starting out with Spanish and you're exposed to Andalusian Spanish, you might find it more relaxed or casual because of the softer, less crisp pronunciation. Castilian Spanish has a more formal pronunciation with clear consonants and distinct vowel sounds. Some learners might find this more challenging because the pronunciation is more rigid and precise. While the Andalusian accent might be easier for learners to produce, it could sometimes be more difficult to understand, especially in rapid or rural Andalusian speech, where words are slurred or sounds are omitted. Dropping syllables can make speech less clear for non-native speakers. Castilian Spanish is usually clearer in terms of pronunciation, which might make it easier for learners to understand at first, particularly in more formal settings or media like news broadcasts, movies, and podcasts that often use neutral or Castilian accents.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 20, 2024
  • The time it takes to learn a language depends on many factors: the time you spend studying, the time you spend talking to local people, and also your attitude towards languages. In general, to reach an advanced level of the language from an intermediate level, it is estimated that about 220 language lessons are necessary.
    Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 11, 2024
  • The bottom line is that while Italian is easier in terms of pronunciation, Spanish is easier in terms of grammar. It seems that this Italian vs. Spanish thing is not as simple as we thought. If you are an English speaker, Spanish is definitely going to be easier for you than Italian because there are more similarities between them.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 16, 2023
  • This is actually a fairly common question, although it may seem strange. Spanish has two main aspects: Castilian and Atlantic, better known as Latin. But they are the same language and the same grammar, the only differences are in pronunciation and vocabulary. But any native Spanish speaker can communicate with others without any problems. If we talk about accent, the Canarian accent is closer to the Latin American accent than to the mainland accent.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 17, 2023
  • A summer camp abroad is a programme for children and teenagers aged 8 to 17 years old at an international language centre, school or university. Any foreign summer camp has a daily schedule that includes educational, cultural, sports and entertainment activities. As a rule, the cost of one week or one shift of a summer camp includes a fixed package of services, which includes: language courses, entertainment, accommodation, meals, child safety, excursions, transfers and airport pick-up.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 04, 2023
  • Yes, it is possible. There are summer camps that offer Spanish language training combined with daily professional sports training. It can be football, tennis, golf, horse riding, rugby, swimming and much more.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 04, 2023
  • It is absolutely safe. Children are supervised in schools 24 hours a day and seven days a week. If you are worried about your child's flight, you can order a flight escort service from the airline. From check-in until your child is handed over to the person waiting for them at the destination airport, the airline will be looking after your child and will help with any other matter. On arrival, your child will be met by the school representative and taken to their accommodation.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 04, 2023
  • As of today, our top destinations in Spain are Valencia, Barcelona, Malaga, Madrid and Tenerife. These are our top 5, based on feedback from our former students.
    Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 07, 2023
  • Valencia or Malaga, they are different yet similar. Weather and food are great in both. Both have great infrastructure (airports, bullet trains, highways, hospitals, etc.). The water is warmer in Valencia but the climate is a little better in Malaga. Valencia has more business and Malaga more leisure yet both are very well off economically.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 13, 2023
  • There are many opportunities for both Intensive and Terminology courses in the world of work, or even as Internship / Volunteering, if you indicate your level of knowledge, exact period and duration, and destination, we will be happy to check the various proposals available for you.
    Antonio Zoppo, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jan 16, 2023
  • The best cities would be among others: Barcelona, Alicante, Valencia, Málaga, Marbella, Cádiz.
    Madly Simba, FR Consultant from LanguageCourse.net - Jul 19, 2022
  • Schools accept students from all adult age groups. This means that you will be with other international students, some will be older and some younger. Groups are organised based on level, not age, but during high season if there is more than one group of the same level, age will also be taken into account. To give you an idea, the average age throughout the year is around 25-30, and drops to 20-25 in the summer months. Some schools do have a higher or lower average age though. You can find this information on the website or ask an agent and they will help you.
    Rubén De Haro, Area Manager - Spanish from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 09, 2022
  • Most of our partner schools request payment of the fees prior to your arrival. This is particularly the case if you have booked an accommodation.
    Madly Simba, FR Consultant from LanguageCourse.net - Jan 10, 2022
  • Yes, it is possible, as long as you both have the exact same level.
    Rubén De Haro, Area Manager - Spanish from LanguageCourse.net - Nov 09, 2021
  • Lessons are 100% in Spanish, even for absolute beginners. Cervantes Institute believes this is the best way to learn a language. Do you already know some Spanish? Let us know in your registration/request.
    Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.net - Oct 04, 2021
  • Visa requirements are tricky and can change quickly, so the first step is to contact the embassy or consulate in your country. We cannot guarantee that you will get your visa, only the embassy can. But I can already send you some general rules:

    Procedure to receive the visa documents:
    1/ Make your pre-payment on our website via our registration form
    2/ Wait 2-3 days to receive the invoices from the school
    3/ Pay the full balance of the invoice + send proof of payment
    4/ The school sends us a letter of invitation or acceptance to the course.

    Required documents:
    - passport valid for at least 3/6 months after the planned departure date + passport photos
    - proof of having enough money in your account to support yourself during your stay
    - letter of invitation from a school
    Madly Simba, from LanguageCourse.net - Sep 09, 2021
  • If you are a beginner but with some knowledge already, I suspect you fall into an A1 group. Since you are still a beginner I recommend that you start on an absolute beginners date. On the first day of the language course you will take a language test and based on those results you will be placed in the proper level group.
    Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.net - Aug 16, 2021
  • The maximum duration that can be booked through our website is up to 50 weeks, however if you would need a longer course than that you can contact us and we can create a personalised registration link for you to register.
    Irina , Area manager - Russian from LanguageCourse.net - Jul 22, 2021
