For those who wish to push themselves a little bit further in terms of their language learning, Spark also offers an Intensive Spanish Course. In addition to doing our General Spanish course as normal (20 hours of group Spanish classes per week, 10:00-14:00), the student will receive 5 hours of individual classes after the lunch break. These will be prepared to fit their needs, whether it’s grammatical or a specific subject that they need to learn in Spanish, our teachers will create the classes accordingly.
Since we believe that learning a language is not just grammar rules or vocabulary, all of our classes at Spark give students sufficient opportunities for speaking and practicing fluency. A varied range of engaging activities such as conversation topics, role plays, speaking activities, organised debates and discussion groups mean our students really enjoy the dynamic nature of our courses and always surpass their own expectations with how much they learn.
Spark’s Cultural Activities Programme also forms an integral part of the Intensive option and accommodation is also offered alongside this course, identical to the General Spanish course.

Spark Spanish is located in the wonderful town of El Puerto de Santa María on the south-west coast of Spain.

It's a truly authentic Andalusian town where the Spanish go on holiday, so with little foreign tourism, it makes it a great place to learn and practice Spanish.
Spark is located just on the outskirts of the town centre, which is just a 10 minute walk away. The nearest beach is also just a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction, so we are perfectly situated.
In the beginning I did not know how the language class will be when held via Zoom. But it worked out so great that I booked another course right after I finished my first course. Doing the classes via Zoom enables me to attend this second course and further improving my language skills. Furthermore, I can do the classes whereever I want / can. This local flexibility is great.
