Our programmes are of many types depending on the requirements of each student. For each level of the language there will be three types of programmes. Two will be self-study with videos and materials from our teachers and the third program will be held at our premises face-to-face with the possibility of online attendance. At our site, these are primarily 4-hour or 5-hour or 6-hour weekly classes (depending on what you choose) from mid-October to reach B1.1 by the end of May of the same academic year. Classes are held on two days, either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. There is a detailed Study Guide for each level in which you can find the programme that interests you.
According to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, all European languages are divided into the following six levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. This Framework provides a common basis for teaching and organising material in textbooks or examinations across Europe. The Common European Framework is the basis for the design of language proficiency levels, the organisation of teaching materials for each level and, in general, the purpose and objectives of teaching for each European language taught as a foreign language.
It describes in an understandable way what the learner needs to learn in order to communicate in a foreign language and what skills will help him/her to cope with any situation, whether oral or written. It also describes the cultural environment of which the language is a part.
With the Common European Framework, each student's knowledge can be easily assessed and thus his or her progress in learning any foreign language beyond the educational system of the country where it is spoken as a mother tongue. Read more here.
We are talking about B2 which is a demanding level and if there is no need to rush, we recommend that you perfect it in 3 academic cycles. If that's not feasible, then you can take the intensive course which is 6 hours a week and runs from mid-October this year to June and takes A1, A2 and B1. After that you can either go to a summer B2 and take the B2 in November or start in October on a 4 hour course and take it in May. All programmes have equally good results and the intensive one also because of the fact that it is chosen by students who are consciously and eager to engage with the language.
Whichever you choose, it's official. The difference between them is that the State Certificate is graded so that one is tested in one exam at 2 levels. For example you take the B level exam as a single exam rather than B1 and B2 separately. Depending on the percentage of marks you get either B1 or B2. Then it depends where you need it. For example, in the private sector it depends on each employer what degrees they would like their employee to have.
They are small. From 5 to 9.
Prices depend on which program one chooses. Send us a message or call us and we will let you know which program you are interested in.
No. The payment of the 1st instalment or the one-off payment with the discount are considered registration fees and are deducted from the total tuition fees. This secures your place in the course.
Sure. We are starting new beginner classes and mid-November and mid-February and summer classes. There are many options.
We'll give you a level test that will show us (alongside the discussion between us) which is the most suitable department for you.
Of course. Those of us who work at Castilli, are Spanish speakers and scholars with many years of experience in teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. We also work with the Instituto Cervantes and the Ministry of Education as assessors/examiners in the Diplomas.
Of course! Courses are available both online and in person.
Learning a foreign language opens the doors to an unknown culture. Just as a young child learns his or her mother tongue gradually and slowly, so does a foreign language. We recommend (in addition to lessons with us) daily contact and personal engagement with the language. There is no "easy" language. Mastering it is as miraculous as mastering our mother tongue. And today, with the means at our disposal, it is something very simple. As long as you love it; as long as you love it.
You will now go to our website to fill out our registration form with your personal details, the program you are interested in and the payment method you choose and we will call you about 10 days before the course starts.
It is Edelsa's "Experiencias" series together with the exercise book. For beginners, the book is Experiencias A1A2, Edelsa. For now we won't need anything else. When we receive your registration, we will send additional materials to your email along with the program.
