Spanish Language Classes at Habla Ya Spanish Language Schools
Different Spanish courses for different learning needs...
Not everyone wants the same type of Spanish class in their language learning holiday... choose a Spanish course that best meets your needs!
- Group 4: our most popular course is comprised of 20 hours of lessons per week in a small group of no more than 6 students (average is 3 - 4). Groups are arranged according to students' Spanish levels ensuring that classmates will have a very similar degree of communicative proficiency.
- One to One Spanish Classes: we offer students the option to have 4 - 6 hours of private Spanish lessons per day. The contents and schedule of these private Spanish lessons are arranged to suit the student's individual needs.
- Group 4 PLUS: for those seeking a more intensive or an even a more personalized course, Group 4 PLUS adds 1 or 2 extra hours of private lessons on top of the standard 4 hours of group classes that students would normally have each day.
- DELE Test Preparation Course: DELE is the Official Test of Spanish as a foreign language. At our school, candidates are prepared by having 20 - 30 hours of private classes per week.
- Personalized Spanish Courses: sometimes a student may require something particularly specific and needs to focus on a topic of a very specialized nature. It could be an Intensive Spanish Course, a Medical Spanish Course, Business Spanish, Spanish for construction or Legal Spanish, or simply vocabulary or a Spanish language skill related to a specific field. On the other hand there are couples that wish to have a Spanish teacher just for themselves and in this case we offer them mini-group lessons.
The cost for Spanish lessons goes from $135 to $345 per week. It all depends on the type of Spanish classes you decide to have (group lessons or private lessons) and on the amount of hours of classes you have each week (10 to 30 hours). The total cost of your Spanish Language Holiday also depends on which type of accommodation you decide to have.
If you would like to learn more about each type of the Spanish classes offered at our Spanish Language Schools you can visit our Spanish courses section. And to easily find out and compare the cost for Spanish classes on their own you can do so by visiting our Courses' Rates section.
