Specific courses are for people who can already hold a conversation in Spanish and want to improve it through literature, art or their professional field. We organise mini-groups with a set programme, and you speak a lot and learn new vocabulary on a topic you care about.

Book ClubReading course · B1+
For each club, we choose a book and read it chapter by chapter. Before each chapter, you get a short summary in simple Spanish, the events of the chapter in pictures, the characters and the vocabulary you need. You read at home, and in the club we discuss the content, vocabulary and grammar.
Conversation Club "Once Upon a Time at the Prado"Speaking course · B1+
Each class is about a painting from the Prado Museum and the story behind it. Before the class, you get an article and audiovisual materials, and in the club we describe, discuss and debate in Spanish.
Spanish for companiesSpanish for professional purposes · from zero to B2
We adapt the programme to your field and level: meetings, emails, calls, presentations and negotiations. You learn the Spanish you really need at work — on your own or with your team.
Course structure
Each specific course is a complete programme with a set number of classes and a fixed schedule. The course is designed for a specific level on the CEFR scale, and its programme is divided into thematic blocks: each block has its own topic, its own vocabulary and its own grammar point, which you practise in speech. We build our programmes on the CEFR, the Instituto Cervantes curriculum (Plan Curricular) and the programmes of Spain's official language schools (Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas).
What you will learn
We set the goals of each course by skill: speaking and discussing, listening, reading and writing, as well as the vocabulary and grammar of the course topic. The focus is on speaking: in a group of up to 4 people of the same level, everyone speaks for most of the class.
How classes work
Classes are online and live with a native-speaker teacher. In the mini-groups of these courses, a class lasts 90 minutes, and Spanish for companies can also be taken individually — then a class lasts 60 minutes. Before each class, you get materials on the topic — a text, an article or audiovisual materials — and prepare at home. In class, you retell, discuss, reason and defend your opinion, and the grammar of the block comes up throughout the conversation. The teacher does not interrupt: they note your mistakes and go through them at the end of the class.
Classes are not recorded: the course is built on everyone taking an active part.
Materials and homework
For each topic, we prepare materials: texts, vocabulary and flashcards in Quizlet, comprehension questions and a grammar point. Between classes, you do written and spoken homework, and the teacher checks it and leaves comments. All materials are included in the course price.
Progress assessment
Throughout the course, the teacher follows how you use the vocabulary and grammar of each block and gives you feedback. The course ends with a final project — for example, a presentation, an essay or a talk in front of the group. The teacher assesses fluency, vocabulary, grammatical accuracy and how well you answer questions, and each participant gets written feedback: what went well and what to work on next.
