Course description

Our intensive courses provide exposure to the language through theoretical and practical classes and different optional activities outside the classroom. Students are able to develop the 4 main language skills while they are deeply immersed in the relaxed culture of our town. The course level is taught from A1 beginners right through to C2 advanced and we cover grammatical and phonetic skills, but we also put a heavy emphasis on communicative skills. This course is especially suited for those traveling through South America and wish to form a solid foundation to navigate their way through the continent.

"I felt embraced by all responsible people for the school"

Fabiana Sardano Guanciale, student from Brazil

I have two point to ask for attention (1) I bought a 4 daily hours on group course and I only received 2 individually hours. It´s ok, but I only knew few days before going (2) The website were I bought te course, said that I would receive 1 month of online course prior to the start of my face-to-face course and this did not happen. In general, I really liked the school. Good location and I was very well received by everyone. The teacher focused on dialogue, guiding me through my deficiencies. They also gave me tips for visiting the city, and even made it flexible on a school day when I wanted to go on a trip.

"Professional and warm at the same time"

Steffi Simis, student from Germany

I took a week of Spanish classes at Speak Mendoza and was very impressed by the great atmosphere while at the same time I learned so much and improved my very basic language skills enormously. The teachers had a good feeling of which contents to teach in which speed and were always open to questions. The learning groups are very small which makes the learning process very intense and efficient. The extra activities were great - we went to an international night at a Pub together and were able to practice our Spanish with locals, we got a „How to make Mate“ session and also went on a wine tasting tour together. I would highly recommend this language school, I really enjoyed learning there!
