IMMERSION IN THE SPANISH LANGUAGE AND LIFE
The central idea of the Two Worlds United
Spanish Group Programs (up to 10 students per group), which combines Spanish
lessons with water sports and other activities, is the integration in the Spanish
society of foreign students. With this objective we include, cooking
courses, wine tasting, trips around the town, and exchange with Spanish
students, in our program.
Furthermore our organization has
contacts with Schools of dancing, guitar teachers, Sports associations... which
permit us to give information about other activities requested by the students.
The Spanish lessons are given
from Monday to Friday for 3 hours a day distributed in this way:
One hour of Grammar: Focused on the teaching of this subject
from a communicative point view adapted to student's level.
One hour of Conversation: Organized to teach the students to
cope with real situations in Spanish life and to maintain different levels of
conversation.
One hour of Spanish Culture: the students can know different
aspects of the rich Spanish Culture through the study of Spanish Cinema, Art,
History, Literature and Music.
All the subjects are taught with
a communicative and practical method so that the students can make use of an
authentic program of integration in the Spanish society.
The courses are distributed into
3 levels: Initial, Intermediate and Advanced, according to each student's
knowledge.
The teachers have College Degree
in Spanish Philology and have experience as Spanish teachers in a second
language both in Spain and in other countries.
For this reason they understand
the special characteristics of this kind of teaching, as well as the special
needs of students who are away of their countries and therefore need
personalized attention.

teachers who are experienced in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign
language at the local University.

possibility or organizing courses at other times of the year.
