Learn Spanish in Cadiz, Spain

Tenidiomas, Cadiz:
Tenidiomas.. not just a language. Founded in 1982 in Jerez de Frontera, 20 km north of Cadiz, Andalusia in southern Spain, Tenidiomas language school has over twenty years of experience teaching Spanish in Jerez, organising courses at all levels from Basic to Advanced. Over the years we have been able to design courses which are well structured, but at the same time flexible so as to cater for the differing needs of each individual student. A placement test followed by a personal interview on arrival allows us to set individual objectives with regard to the vocabulary and structures to be studied during your stay. In addition to general and intensive courses we also prepare students for the DELE exams. On all our courses the emphasis is placed upon communication, our aim being to develop conversation skills as quickly as possible, with all students having free access to our multimedia area in order to practice writing and listening skills at their own pace.

Tenidiomas holds the CEELE teaching accreditation awarded by the University of Alcala de Henares, is an examination centre for the Diploma Internacional de Español and accredited centre for the ELE examinations of the Cámara de Comercio de Cádiz.

We are also a member of the Association for the Promotion of Spanish and Hispanic Culture.

Host Family:
The most intensive way to improve conversation skills and at the same time get a real taste of Spanish life. A carefully selected group of host families, visited regularly by our accommodation officer, offer you the chance to share in the day to day life of the Jerezanos. Choose bed and breakfast, half-board or full board accommodation. There is the choice of an individual private bedroom or a double bedroom with 2 separate beds for two students if they prefer to share. You have access to the bathroom and the living room, private bathrooms are available but you may have to share with the family.

Bed & breakfast
Every morning a continental breakfast is served, normally in company with the host family.

Half board
A continental breakfast is always included and in the evenings you share the family dinner, which is usually served at around 9pm or even later. Whenever the participant is going out for dinner the family has to be warned and the dinner will not be refundable.

Apartment:
Comfortable accommodation in a reformed mansion house for those who prefer greater independence during their stay.

The most attractive feature of our Spanish courses is undoubtedly the town of Jerez de la Frontera itself and its inhabitants, the Jerezanos. Not only is our school located in a very picturesque and traditional Andalusian-style city, but is also within easy reach of both the nearby Atlantic coastline and the beautiful Sierra mountainside. From Jerez you have chance to visit the ancient city of Cádiz, the Andalusian capital Seville or the beautiful mountain villages of Arcos de la Frontera, Ronda or Zahara de la Sierra. A little further down the coast are the beautiful unspoilt beaches of Tarifa and Trafalgar.

An additional leisure option is provided by our two local golf clubs - Sherry Golf Jerez and Montecastillo – perfect for those who wish to take advantage of our local climate with its average 290 days of sunshine each year and average winter temperatures of 10º C.

Or if you prefer, just stroll around the picturesque cobble-stoned squares, visit a sherry bodega or a flamenco peña, or better still just relax with a cool glass of sherry in the shade of a palm tree at one of the many street cafés in the historic city centre.
