Intensive Spanish 1-4 Week ProgramsStudents can enrol in this program at either our Posada in Merida, in the foothills of the Venezuelan Andes, or at our Caribbean Lodge on Playa Colorada in Mochima National Park. The program is the same at each location and features 20 structured lessons per week tailored to your ability. Each morning Monday-Friday you will receive 4 hours intensive general Spanish tuition comprising four 45 minute sessions with 15 minute breaks.
Our teachers have been carefully selected after considering their qualifications, experience and enthusiasm - and an ability to create a friendly atmosphere where the students have the confidence to communicate, express themselves and learn. Classes focus on developing communication skills so that students are able to put their knowledge to practical use as soon as they step outside the classroom.
Our teaching method enables students to develop four basic skills: listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing. The idea is to learn Spanish in a natural and spontaneous way, just as students have learned their mother tongue. Our students speak Spanish right from the very first day, using it in typical real-life situations: the basic syllabus is supplemented by special exercises, such as role-play, situational dialogues and work projects. Outside the classroom the learning process continues as you are immersed in Spanish language and culture.
