Spanish courses in Malaga

• Each course has a minimum duration of 2 weeks from Monday to Friday with 4 lessons of 50 minutes each per day from 10:00 a.m to 2:00 p.m.. In summer, we establish different time tables, depending on the number of students per class reduced to a maximum of 10. You can start on any Monday integrating in a level that has already been initiated before, just beginners should keep to the official starting dates of the Spanish courses in Malaga calendar. The purpose of forming reduced groups (2 to 10 participants per class ) is to make learning more efficient and immediate by giving more opportunities to practise. You can choose from among the following Spanish course types:
