Itinerary
Spanish School Ecuador
Our partner Spanish School in Ecuador, is one of the most original and exciting Spanish academies in South America. Winner of numerous awards including the language star awards (being nominated as one of the top 5 language academies in the world).
We particularly love this language school as it is the way the classes are delivered that adds a little spice to the whole learning process. Imagine hearing the crash of the Pacific ocean as the waves hit the beach, while you grasp the basics of Spanish in Ecuador.
Spanish is essential if you plan to take a gap year in South America, so what better way to prepare yourself or improve your spanish, than by doing it is a fun environment?
Intensive Spanish
The Spanish School provides small mini-group Spanish. We pride ourselves on the quality of these courses. You can expect to receive plenty of help with your Spanish with 4 lessons per day, 5 days per week. With 6 different ability groups you will be with others also keen to learn, at the same level.
The levels follow the standard European Educational system of A 1 to C 2. By having others in your class it is an excellent way to stay motivated, practise what you are learning and to meet other students, many of whom travel onwards after the course.
Classes consist of 2 hours of largely Grammar based learning. We make it fun! Then there is 2 hours of more conservational or activity based Spanish, to put into practice what you have learnt. We have found this approach to be extremely effective.
Small groups for effective learning
The groups are very small, normally 2-4 persons. In fact the maximum per class is only 6! So you will get lots of attention, and your learning needs are catered for. Occasionally we will not meet our minimum numbers per class in your ability group. In this case your lessons will be replaced with 15 hours of private one on one lessons.
Crash courses are available
If you want to have a crash course, we can also offer one to one lessons - 20 hours a week for additional costs.
