Programs & Activities - Cartagena, Colombia  


 

Programs

The main objective of the Spanish courses is to improve the student's communicative skills. The emphasis of classroom activities is therefore the development of the student's ability to speak and understand spoken Spanish. For this reason, classes are conducted entirely in Spanish and students are given plenty of opportunity to practice the sort of language they are likely to need outside the classroom. While the atmosphere in the classroom is generally relaxed and informal, students should be prepared to work hard and participate fully.

Standard Spanish: Is a half a day course from 9:00 a.m to 12:00 noon, making it easier to combine classes with tourism, work or social life. This course focuses in improving your communication skills, working on listening, conversation, grammar, vocabulary, reading and pronunciation.

Intensive Spanish: It’s the same standard Spanish course but it has a longer daily schedule.

Spanish for professionals: This course is prepared inn advance. Also, it is developed through business workshops and discussions. It covers marketing and develops all the skills that the student needs to make businesses in Spanish.
