Aimed at those older students who wish to study with their peers whilst concentrating on developing their communication skills. The course focuses on the social and cultural aspects of the Spanish language rather than grammar analysis and written skills. It also includes four cultural activities per week: visits to museums and monuments, a show, an evening meal with a teacher and a Saturday excursion. Classes are in small groups with the emphasis on oral expression, as well as social and cultural aspects rather than grammar analysis and written skills. The teachers who impart this course are conscious of the specific needs of the students as well as their different rhythm of learning and the importance of special emphasis on culture (festivals and traditions, history, and literature and the Spanish lifestyle).

The programme includes 20 Spanish classes per week, welcome drink and cultural activities in the week. Entrance tickets to the museums and monuments are included as well as a concert or theatre evening, a meal with the teacher and a Saturday full day excursion.
