This course is made up of theoretical information –elaborated from the
most advanced perspective of linguistic studies– with practical
exercises and the continual participation of the student. This permits a beginner to know a new language and put it to
use. Starting from an
intermediate level, the student will begin to speak with fluency and correctness
due to the adaptability of our method. At an advanced level, the student’s language becomes more
profound. All students, whatever level,
use and enjoy the language from the
first day on.
APPROACH
Our approach is to use communicative
activities to improve the four language skills: listening,
speaking, reading and writing. Part of our method includes a rotation of teachers.

To
gain knowledge of a language, cultural immersion is necessary. With
this in mind, Castila has developed more than 40 different social activities
that help the foreign students' integration into the Spanish life. These
activities are of a wide variety, including: Spanish movies, thematic evenings,
musical evenings, trips, visits, parties, sports, "tapas time",
"paellas"...
