Frequently Asked Questions

What is El Patio?

El Patio is a learning community. Our classes are serious and fun – one of the reasons that El Patio is Melbourne's most popular Spanish language school.

The name 'El Patio' comes from the leafy and light-filled central courtyard in a traditional Spanish home. This inner courtyard is a place to get together; it's a focal point and a place of conversation and connection

El Patio is the home of the Spanish language in Melbourne. It's somewhere where you can take your first steps in learning the language and a place you can always come back to after any adventure.

If you've been learning for a while, El Patio is a place to continue to grow and to keep your Spanish language skills alive.

Welcome! We hope you enjoy your studies and that you make your class your own.
