Spanish Immersion in Salamanca, Spain

Academia Berceo Instituto Español de Salamanca, Spain:
We are sure that at the Instituto Español de Salamanca Berceo the student will find the ideal atmosphere for learning, entertainment and making friends.

The main aim of the Institute is to teach Spanish not only the language but also the culture of Spain, in all its rich diversity: literature, history, art... Students can also follow Spanish courses in Business Spanish which include many areas of finance, banking, commerce, law, tourism, hotel management, etc.

Each course is taught by at least three teachers who have special experience in the different skills and levels, thereby ensuring that the classes are more intensive and enjoyable. In addition, outside the classroom our students can always count on the help and support of a personal tutor.

All language skills are included in our courses: theory and practice of grammar, communication practice, aural comprehension, reading comprehension, oral and writing skills. Each class has a maximum of ten students. This allows the teacher to evaluate individual differences, to develop creative classroom exercises in Spanish speaking (which involves understanding and interaction between the students), and also, through discussion and consultation, to fit the students’ requirements and expectations into the teaching/learning process.

Total Immersion Spanish Courses; Standard Spanish Courses; Spanish Grammar Course; D.E.L.E Preparation Course.
