El Patio Spanish

Spanish Language School

Whether you want to get started, get ahead, work on your conversation skills, or tackle a part of the language that you're struggling with - we've got you covered!

In January we dedicate a full TWO WEEKS for Intensives. You can do a WHOLE LEVEL, take a FULL 15-HR CONVERSATION COURSE (for a complete Spanish transformation) or fine tune in our 2 OR 3-HR WORKSHOPS.

We'll also be offering some short courses: Beginner Conversation and Spanish for Travel!

WHOLE LEVELS

January is the only time we offer this: complete a FULL LEVEL in just 2 weeks rather than MONTHS.

We're offering our first 3 levels:    Elementary 1   /   Elementary 2    /    Elementary 3

You'll be doing a 3-hr class every second work night - the spare nights are for homework, but you'll still have your weekends free!

FOR CONVERSATION

There are 5 different levels of Conversation Courses with ALL NEW MATERIAL:

Beginner Conversation (4.5-hr short course) – practise and revise our first level.  If you’ve completed Elementary 1 and want to feel confident for Elementary 2. Or if you’ve learnt some Spanish informally (through travelling/apps/friends).

Conversation Elementary (15-hr)– reviews topics studied up to Elementary 4.  (~60 hrs of study) Present tense conjugations, the verb gustar, reflexive verbs, introduction to the first past tense: pretérito perfecto

Conversation Lower Intermediate (15-hr) – reinforces topics at Lower Intermediate levels (~135 hrs). pretérito indefinido, pretérito imperfecto, present continuous (estar+ gerundio), conditional, ir a + infinitivo

Conversation Upper Intermediate (15-hr) – if you’ve completed approx 180 hours of study. Simple future, present subjunctive,  pretérito pluscuamperfecto, imperativo (+ heaps more!)

Conversation Advanced (15-hr) – if you’ve completed 260 hrs or more.  Pretérito imperfecto de subjuntivo, pretérito pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo (+ heaps more!)

2 OR 3-HR WORKSHOPS (FOR THE TRICKY BITS)

If you've already got a bit under your belt already, you've probably had questions about the use of SER or ESTAR, POR Y PARA or similar confusing topics! We've got you covered here too with our Special Workshops! There are 6 short-and-sweet 2hr Special Workshops that we designed to address the most common but easy-to-fix difficulties. Working through a small problem makes a BIG difference in your Spanish!

Or perhaps you're looking to tackle the REALLY tricky bits of Spanish – head on! I'm talking about VERBS of course! There are 5 different 3hr Verb Workshops to choose from depending on where you're at in terms of conjugations and uses of the different verb tenses.

If you'd like to hone some specific language skills, you could take one of our new 2-hr IMPROVE Workshops! We'll be offering these for both Speaking and Listening, at a variety of levels.

As with all our Workshops, you can take one, or if you're keen to do several, we've got great discounts.
