The maximum number of students per class and level is 6, our method guarantees personal attention. Students are in constant, direct contact with the teacher and the programme is taught with the interactive participation of teacher and students.

Our method is based on listening comprehension and oral and written expression. Owing to the experience we have gathered since 1975, we can ensure the best possible results in the shortest possible time: An essentially practical method that does away with the complications of a rule-based grammar and focuses on real, practical, everyday language.

Our students hear, write, read and speak Spanish from the very first day they arrive at Valladolid.
