Spanish Language School in Granada, Spain

IDEA Granada:
At our wonderful school named i.d.e.a. in the heart of Granada in southern Spain, we have many years of experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language in various institutes and countries, at all levels. We have enjoyed working with different nationalities from all over the world. This has enabled us to design our own courses using modern teaching techniques, which develop all the necessary language skills, yet, at the same time, make the classes fun and enjoyable.

Do you feel like a mere spectator when travelling in Spanish-speaking countries? With even a basic knowledge of the language you can participate actively in the fascinating cultures of both Spain and Latin America, chatting with the locals and then dancing the night away - Latino style.

- Did you know that Spanish is spoken by more than 300 million people in the world? It is the second most widely used in the United States, in international communications and the third in the world. This growing importance in commercial and diplomatic arenas makes it vital to personal and professional development.

- Can you imagine reading books in their native language by authors such as Cervantes, Federico García Lorca, Gabriel García Márquez or Isabel Allende? Spanish is a beautiful roman language, which has been expanded and nurtured throughout history. The study of this literary richness, little by little, awakens new curiosities.

- Do you know anything about the history of these amazing lands? For example, the Arab and Hebrew civilisations have had a tremendous influence on the culture, architecture, art and language of Spain and, in turn, of Latin America.

Now you have an i.d.e.a. of what the study of Spanish can offer you.

Full Immersion Spanish Courses; General Spanish Courses; Intensive Spanish Lessons; Private Spanish Classes; DELE exam preparation; Spanish and Latin American Culture; Business Spanish; Courses for Spanish teachers; School Groups; Spanish and Dance; Spanish and Cooking.

Your living situation can be a big part of your experience here in Granada. To ensure that your stay is comfortable, enriching and as economical as possible, i.d.e.a. offers you various options that you can customise to your requirements: living with a Spanish host family, in a flat shared with other students, or in a university residence hall.

The team at i.d.e.a. is made up of young, dynamic and open-minded personalities who inject an enthusiasm into the classroom that encourages interest and conversation. They also participate in all the extra activities, which helps to develop the student - teacher relationship.

The character of our students greatly influences the manner in which we teach. On the one hand you have diversity in age, nationality and culture which provokes dynamism and interest in the classroom, on the other hand you have a common interest, is that you are all here to learn Spanish. The intensity of our courses ensures that you will develop your language skills quickly and completely, and at the same time form relationships with fellow students and teachers that will leave you with friends for life.

After eating in one of the wonderful local restaurants you can watch a Flamenco show in the cuevas of the Sacromonte...a wonderful and typical experience that you can't miss!

If you're looking for history and culture, head for the Alhambra, a magnificent Moorish palace with beautifully attended gardens and a stunning view over the city.
