The Benefits of Taking an Intensive Spanish Course

There are many reasons why you may choose to learn Spanish with a shorter, more intensive course over maybe a week, 2 weeks or a month.

A course that takes half the time as a standard one is highly appealing to many people especially to those who are naturally fast learners.

In this blog post we will look at the ways in which an intensive Spanish course will benefit learners who prefer to study over a shorter amount of time.

Learning is quicker

Because you learn over a shorter amount of time, more can be covered. By learning for more hours per day and per week you will learn more and have more time to practice through practical situations; dialogues, listening and reading or written activities.

Flexibility

Our intensive courses are prepared specifically to suit each learner and the time they have available. They are designed to fit around your work and family commitments. You may choose to learn for between 5 and 15 hours per week for as many weeks as you have available.

Sense of achievement

By learning over a shorter period of time, you can progress quickly from a beginner to a more intermediate learner. You can learn a whole topic and vocabulary that you knew nothing about before, you can tackle tricky grammar and master areas that you struggled with before. By reaching your goals quickly you will feel a great sense of achievement which will boost your commitment and motivation to continue learning.

Tailored to your specific level and goals

Each course is designed with the individual’s level in mind and also their objectives. Before you start the course you will complete a Needs Analysis to find out what level you are currently at, what level you want to reach and which areas of the language you would like to work on; speaking and conversation, listening, formal or informal language, which situations in every day life, reading or writing.

More practice to reinforce learning

During a standard course of one hour per week there is limited time available to practice what has been taught with extra activities. This is often given as homework which many people do not have time to do between lessons. However with an intensive Spanish course there is time available to do extra exercises to practice what has been taught. This may suit people with a busy lifestyle and who lack motivation to study on their own.

Daily practice and immersion

With an intensive course you will be using the language every day through listening, speaking, reading and writing or grammar exercises. By surrounding yourself with the language regularly this is the best way to “make it stick” and retain it over the long term.

Proven effectiveness

It has been proven that intensive courses maximize progress in less time. The methods used aid language retention allowing learners to advance their Spanish quickly.

Due to the practical approach of these courses your communicative skills will develop quickly that you can then use in real-life situations which will boost your confidence and motivation.

Suitable for all levels

Our intensive courses suit both absolute beginners as well as intermediate and more advanced learners. They can help you get a head start on the language or improve your existing language skills quickly.
