Spanish Courses in Cadiz, Spain

Tenidiomas, Cadiz:
Tenidiomas.. not just a language. Founded in 1982 in Jerez de Frontera, 20 km north of Cadiz, Andalusia in southern Spain, Tenidiomas language school has over twenty years of experience teaching Spanish in Jerez, organising courses at all levels from Basic to Advanced. Over the years we have been able to design courses which are well structured, but at the same time flexible so as to cater for the differing needs of each individual student. A placement test followed by a personal interview on arrival allows us to set individual objectives with regard to the vocabulary and structures to be studied during your stay. In addition to general and intensive courses we also prepare students for the DELE exams. On all our courses the emphasis is placed upon communication, our aim being to develop conversation skills as quickly as possible, with all students having free access to our multimedia area in order to practice writing and listening skills at their own pace.

Part Time Standard Spanish:
For those students who are resident or working in the area and intend to study long-term, but find our standard courses incompatible with their other commitments. Two days of teacher contact each week are combined with exercises to be completed at home, making maximum use of the fact that all participants are living here in Jerez and are able to practice and make use of what is learnt in each session by incorporating it into their daily life.

Full Immersion:
15 or 30 lessons per week for those participants who require a more intensive course, combining Speaking Skills with Reading Comprehension, Writing and Intensive Listening at levels: A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 of the Common European Framework.

Spanish Business Skills:
20 lessons per week which focus upon the language skills of the business environment specifically designed for the individual business needs of the client. A language placement test and needs analysis upon arrival allow us to design tuition around real and practical learning goals. Visits to local companies are arranged for additional language input and accommodation choices include executive home-stay, apartment or hotel.

Speaking Skills:
10 or 20 lessons per week: The objective behind this course is to focus upon speaking and listening skills, and our first priority is therefore to achieve spoken fluency by ensuring that our teaching sessions are both dynamic and practical in content. Apart from classroom tuition additional self-study sessions in our multimedia area give students the possibility to improve reading, writing and listening skills at their own pace.

Language and Culture:
10 or 20 lessons per week plus programme of visits: We recommend students planning to do a long-term General Spanish course in Jerez register on this course for the first week of their stay in order to get the feel of the city, learn a little about the history of Jerez, and visit some of its most symbolic landmarks. If on the other hand you are only able to spend just 1 week in Jerez, then this is the perfect course for you. Guided tour of Jerez, plus visits to a Sherry bodega, Alcázar, Equestrian Art and the Palacio del Tiempo.
