Estudio Sampere: Salamanca
Our Junior course is a special summer program for students aged 13- 15 years and Teen Course for 15-17 years old, that combines Spanish language lessons with holidays in the historic university City of Salamanca. Spanish lessons are always organized in small groups, with a maximum of 12 students per class.
Lessons are supplemented by daily cultural and leisure activities, from Mondays to Fridays, and full-day excursions on Saturdays, to offer students the opportunity to experience a new culture and make friends.
COURSE
At the beginning of the course, students will take a placement test so that the academic team finds the group that best suits their proficiency level. They will then receive a brief introductory talk about the city, so that they know how to get to the school, to their host families, and are provided with all the city information needed during their stay.
Lessons take place in the mornings, from Mondays to Fridays. The course consists of 20 lessons per week, organized in three-hour lessons per day. Lessons have a highly communicational approach, and content is specially designed to put into practice all four language skills, and achieve a comprehensive learning of the language while having fun. The materials used in the classroom include content adapted to our four proficiency levels: Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced.

THE CITY
Salamanca is the quintessential University City, one of the safest cities in Europe, and home to a great cultural offer throughout the year, mostly for free. The Plaza Mayor is the heart of the city and there, you will find people day and night “under the clock” (meeting point for all people and students). You can enjoy an artisan ice cream at the “Novelty” cafeteria, or a chocolate with churros at the “Valor” chocolaterie, while having an interesting chat with other students.
If you like History, we recommend strolling through the city’s main street, or Rua Mayor, where you will find typical local souvenirs, such as the Charro Buttons, University t-shirts, and “frogs”. It is also the only street in the city where all stores open every day of the week.
The teacher, Amparo was really excellent. After the first day she chose subjects that she knew i was interested in and prepared well for the class, which was always lively and varied. This was a one to one class for 3 hours per day with only a 15 minute break, and with the need to wear a mask. Amparo came through with great success.
The location is perfect, near to the centre of the old town. Facilities good, activities interesting.
I arranged my own accommodation.
Classes were enjoyable, teachers were very nice and willing to help anyone with just about anything and didn't shy away from making a class too funny or enjoyable
