Our Spanish school in Montevideo offers several types of courses and skill-levels to meet your personal needs and enhance your learning experience. All classes are taught entirely in Spanish and have been prepared specifically for foreign students. After taking a diagnostic test, you will be assigned to one of eight different levels of classes to meet special requirements and enhance the learning of each student. From “Beginner” to “Very Advanced”, every level has its own communicative, grammatical and pragmatic objectives. On each level, the teachers use a great variety of learning approaches, mixing verbal communication and listening comprehension using audio and video, texts for reading, etc. The content of each level is divided among material dedicated to social, cultural and political life in Uruguay and to Uruguay's and Latin America's history. To complete each skill level takes usually two weeks. Students can enter at any level.

Classes begin throughout the year. You choose the length of the course that best fits you. Each academic hour has 55 minutes. You can book one of the below courses or combine them.

Group course: The group classes are usually between 2 and 6 students. Groups are divided into different skill levels to ensure certain homogeneity necessary for faster learning.

Intensive course: The intensive course takes also place in a group of between 2 and 6 students. It constist of 30 academic hours per week between Monday and Friday, which means 6 daily hours of Spanish study.

Uruguay’s capital, Montevideo, is a smaller, more quiet and laid-back city, compared to its big sister, Buenos Aires. It is home to 43% of the country’s 2.9 million inhabitants. It offers a wide range of cultural activities all year round, ranging from museums, theaters, concerts, and popular festivities to international exhibitions and shows. The city’s location on the riverfront (Rio de la Plata) is spectacular with a local and visitor admired pedestrian walkway along the river (“rambla”). In the summer, beaches are crowded. Uruguayans are nature lovers and the city is full of enormous parks and green areas. The nightlife scene is concentrated in the old part of town, offering an ever increasing amount of pubs, restaurants, tango shows, discos, and bars with Brazilian music or even flamenco.
