Your level will be determined by means of a level test on the first day of the course.
We focus on our students. Our team of professionals are extremely committed to meeting your individual needs and to ensure you fully integrate into the Spanish language and culture. Our objective is not only to teach you how to dominate the language, but that you gain an understanding of our habits and traditions, our way of thinking and living. Therefore, you will be living with a Spanish family and take part in various excursions and cultural activities.
Salamanca is situated in Castile-Leon, the region where the standard Spanish accent is spoken, therefore it is the perfect place to study Spanish.
