Group Courses
What materials do we use?
During the first lesson, I will let you know which course book we will be using. In addition, we work with exclusive learning materials developed by Ole! Spanish Academy, which are included in the course fee. These materials consist of clear and visual summaries of the most important grammar topics, allowing you to review the content quickly and efficiently. You will also receive additional exercises and supplementary learning materials. Our goal is to make learning Spanish as clear, practical and enjoyable as possible, so that you can use the language confidently in real-life situations.
Are the course books included in the course fee?
No, the course books are not included in the course fee.
You can easily purchase them online or order them through your local bookstore.
Which level is right for me?
Not sure which level suits you best? No problem!
Many students already have some experience with Spanish through Duolingo, other language apps, holidays, or previous courses. While this can provide a good foundation, it is often difficult to determine your language level based on these experiences alone.
Feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you find the right level so that you can start your course with confidence. This way, we can make sure you join a group that matches your knowledge and experience, allowing you to learn effectively and make steady progress.
What if I cannot attend a lesson in person?
If you are unable to attend a lesson in person, you can usually join the lesson online. Please let us know at least 24 hours in advance so that we can send you all the necessary information.
Make sure you have a stable internet connection.
What happens if I miss a lesson?
As this is a group course, missed lessons cannot be rescheduled or refunded. However, if you are unable to attend in person, it is usually possible to join the lesson online. Please inform us at least 24 hours in advance.
Is homework mandatory?
No, homework is not mandatory.
However, we strongly recommend it if you would like to make faster progress. Practising at home helps reinforce what you have learned during the lessons and allows you to develop your language skills more quickly.
How much time should I spend studying at home?
For the best results, we recommend spending approximately one hour per week on self-study, reviewing lesson content and completing homework assignments.
In which language are the lessons taught?
During the lessons, we speak as much Spanish as possible because we believe it is the most effective way to learn a language. Whenever necessary, we can also provide support in Dutch or English.
Why do we work with native Spanish-speaking teachers?
Learning a language is about much more than grammar and vocabulary. With a native Spanish-speaking teacher, you will also develop a deeper understanding of the culture, traditions and social norms associated with the language. This will help you communicate in Spanish more naturally, confidently and authentically.
How do I enrol in a course?
Simply visit our website, choose the course that best suits your needs and enrol online. As we work with small groups, we recommend registering in good time to secure your place.
What happens if a course does not reach the minimum number of participants?
Our group courses require a minimum of four participants. If a course does not reach this number, we will gladly offer you a suitable alternative. If no suitable alternative is available, you will receive a full refund of the course fee. Our groups are intentionally kept small. This allows us to combine personal attention with plenty of opportunities to practise speaking Spanish.
What if I cannot attend all the lessons in the course?
As this is a group course, the full course fee must be paid before the course begins in order to reserve your place.
Missed lessons cannot be rescheduled or refunded.
If you need greater flexibility, private lessons may be a better option for you.
Will I receive a certificate at the end of the course?
Yes. Upon request, we can provide a certificate of participation stating the level completed and the number of lesson hours attended.
