With more than 38 years of experience, we pride ourselves on the best quality language tuition for students of Spanish at all levels. As a student, you will be assigned an experienced teacher and, using a variety of teaching methods and materials s/he will devise learning programmed for you based on your needs. InterContinental Spanish Academy is situated in a charming location, approximately 10 minutes on foot from Central Park.
The size of the school enables us to treat each student as an individual and ensures that we can cater to your personal requirements. The number of hours tuition per day and length of your stay is entirely up to you and we will cater to your requirements. However, as a general guide we estimate that with 6 hours of tuition a day, a student will be able to use basic dialogue within 2 weeks, become proficient within 6 weeks and speak fluently within 12 weeks.

Classes generally run Monday through Friday but are also available on Saturday if requested.

"Excellent customer service and fantastic teacher."

C Jason Brown, student from USA

There was a communication problem with the location of the school that had nothing to do with Language International and nothing to do this the school. The direction was mis-shown on MapQuest, and once got it figured out, Language International was 100% on top of it. That said, the teach I had 'Fernando' is the best teacher I've ever had. I've advance Spanish and have had many teachers.. but if you can get Fernando, your in good hands... Doesn't matter what level you are.. because he can explain complex topics from beginning to end, and for me he was perfect. You will not disappointed
