Spanish courses in Spain

Sevilla, the capital of Andalucia, is often named as one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and probably the one which best keeps alive the Spanish spirit and tradition.

An explosion of contrast and colour, not to mention the rare mix of the modern and traditional, means that Seville has a fantastic offering of cultural variety to cater for all tastes throughout the year: The April Fair, Semana Santa, Flamenco, bullfighting and the open and friendly locals who make the streets a delight to walk.

The river Guadalquivir, Cathedral, Golden Tower, Maria Luisa Park and the Plaza de España are all places of enchantment where the visitor can experience the eternally romantic spirit of this gorgeous Andalsian city. If you wanted to learn Spanish in Spain, Seville should be a first choice destination. Quite apart from the selection of wonderful sights to see and experiences to savour, Seville is home to one of the premier language schools in Spain: CLIC (Centro de Lenguas y Intercambio Cultural).

CLIC run everything from children's Spanish courses in Spain to a course where students can learn Spanish on the beach. An innovative approach like this has made this medium-sized language school operation into arguably the most popular in Seville and beyond (they have a successful operation in the beautiful town of Vejer). The schools teach a variety of language courses, ranging from the traditional, classroom-based Spanish courses you may expect from a language school to more energetic classes for younger learners, which frequently see learning taking place outside of the classroom.

Two of CLIC's more popular courses are their intensive Spanish course in Spain and one to one Spanish course in Spain, both of which are taught by fully-qualified and experienced Spanish teachers. An intensive Spanish course can be incredibly useful for someone who has just moved to Spain and needs to get a conversational grasp of the language for day-to-day life. This is also the type of course you would usually study if you were to take a language holiday in Spain. A one-to-one Spanish course is more likely to suit someone who needs to learn Spanish for business (or an internship) as it can be quite an expensive process. Experienced language learners often recommend arranging one-to-one tuition outside of the formal classroom, (usually through classified adverts on bulletin boards or in newspapers) although the quality of teaching is not assured like it should be in a school.

Of all the possible places in which to learn spanish Cadiz will probably give you the best grasp of Spanish culture and tradition. While cities like Madrid and Barcelona steal the international limelight, their legendary reputations also mean that their veins are clogged with tourists. Smaller towns and cities like Cadiz, Vejer and Seville offer a delightful alternative Spanish experience.
