The International Language Institute (Instituto Internacional de Idiomas) is a Spanish language school conveniently located in the centre of El Puerto de Santa Maria in Andalucia, Spain.
Our teaching method starts with two main points:
2. Learn by doing:
Grammar is important but the lessons need not be boring. We teach the Spanish you need to deal with real life situations in combination with music, video, internet, theatre and much more.
1. Adapting our teaching to you:
• Through a personality test to identlfy how you learn best
• Through a level test to place you in the right group
Our communicative method enables you to learn while discovering, through language games, written material and songs. Through everyday situations, group discussions or role-play, your confidence and ability to speak in Spanish will increase rapidly – as will your vocabulary, listening and writing skills. You will also gain an insight into Spanish society and culture - and learn while having fun!
We are open all year round offering not only Spanish, but English, French, German and Chinese lessons as well.
Our eight bright classrooms are air conditioned / heated with WiFi throughout and all our great teachers are certified native speakers.
