Living in Spain is a different conversation
Ordering a caña is easy. Explaining a leak to your landlord, booking a doctor's appointment over the phone or following the comunidad meeting is not. These are the moments our teachers prepare you for.
Paperwork & appointments
Your cita previa, registering on the padrón at the town hall, NIE and TIE vocabulary, and how to follow what the official in front of you is saying.
Money & home
Opening a bank account, reading a rental contract, setting up electricity, water and internet, and calling about a problem without panicking.
Health
Registering at the centro de salud, describing symptoms, understanding the doctor, and asking the pharmacist the right questions.
Neighbours & community
Small talk at the bar, the comunidad de propietarios, your children's school and local tradespeople. This is where you stop feeling like a visitor.
A plan that follows your move
Every learner starts with a free level check. Your teacher then builds the plan around your moving date and the situations that matter most to you.
Survival Spanish that works
Pronunciation you can be understood with, the questions you'll ask every day, numbers, dates and addresses, plus a phrasebook for your first two weeks.
Handle the admin yourself
Role-play the real appointments: bank, town hall, landlord, doctor, utilities. Bring your actual letters and forms and work through them with your teacher.
Real conversation
Understand fast, natural speech, chat with neighbours, follow local news and build the confidence to say yes to invitations.
