3 group lessons per day

A lower-intensity course aimed at long-term students, this course is perfect for people who stay for several months and prefer to take their time, or who live and work or retire in Montevideo and wish to balance their Spanish studies with their other responsibilities. If there is a minimum of three students at the same level, they will form a group and study for three hours each day, covering both grammar and conversation. However, if there are fewer than three students on Course F at that level, they will join a group on Course A but attend only the grammar classes each day (2 hours daily) and the conversation classes three times a week.

What can I expect to learn?

Vocabulary and phrases to use in everyday situations in Uruguay such as shopping, using public transport, eating out, using health services, completing forms and official processes, talking to workmen and estate agents, making small-talk.  You will also develop vocabulary, confidence and fluency through conversation about current events and popular culture.  You will cover grammar topics appropriate to the level (see Course A) but the emphasis is on confident use of spoken Spanish to survive in real-life sitations.You have the option of combining this practical language course with cultural or skills programme, such as Uruguayan Culture, Carnival celebrations, tango, or a trip to a ranch.
