Spanish Courses in Salamanca

Spanish Language School in Salamanca

Salamanca is a city steeped in history. Its sandstone architecture, glowing Plaza Mayor, ancient university, cobblestone streets and stunning cathedrals – all surrounded by Castile and León landscapes – will bring you into the Spain of castles and kings.

Salamanca is a small city, where you’ll get to know the barman at your favorite neighborhood café; where you’ll have the opportunity to take a closer look at the places that inspire you; where you’ll be able to walk everywhere and practice your Spanish with friendly locals you meet at the frutería down the street. It is a place where Spanish immersion – immersion into Spanish history, culture, tradition – can truly take place.

We love that studying Spanish in Salamanca means learning the language at the heart of it all. It is a place where you will discover the Spain of old and journey into a place where history, tradition and learning are second to none. We love that the juxtaposition of the young, university vibe with ancient buildings and deep Spanish traditions creates an environment that inspires learning and discovery; that walking down any street or wandering through any plaza means getting a glimpse into Spanish history and a lesson in Spanish culture that couldn’t be found in any book or learned in any classroom.

Salamanca is truly a special city for learning Spanish.

You will start your day with an oral and written assessment test in order for us to place you in the correct language level and class.

The school is near many amazing restaurants for lunch post-class and many sites to explore with your newly acquainted classmates. We provide lots of suggestions for things to do besides the school activities.

Learning Spanish is not just about attending classes, it is a true linguistic and cultural experience. Therefore, through different activities, we encourage all our students to practice their Spanish outside the classroom while many times forging friendships that last a lifetime.

Every week there are activities for students to join that include tours, site visits, academic workshops, movie nights, dance classes, and more.  They are designed to practice Spanish outside the classroom, learn more about Spanish culture and socialize with other students.

At the weekend, our school offers excursions and trips to interesting locations. These are usually a day or overnight trips and have an extra cost.

The school offers a variety of housing options to fit your needs.  For a more immersive experience, host families are ideal, while a shared apartment or a residence are better for more independence.

Accommodation is from the Sunday prior to the course start date until the Saturday after the end of the course (you can book extra-nights).

The school offers different intensities of courses depending on how fast you want to learn Spanish.
