El Patio Spanish Language School

Spring Intensives!

Spring is almost here! We have a week break between Terms 3 and 4 (Oct 1-5) - the perfect opportunity to consolidate and build. Along with our 4.5hr Conversation Courses you'll also have 13 different 2hr & 3hr Workshops to choose from, including the new 'IMPROVE Listening & Speaking', skill-based Workshops!

Which Workshop for my Level in the Spring Intensives?

With so many exciting Workshops and Conversation courses to choose from, the Spring Intensives contain a feast of opportunities for learning. If you're pondering your options, here's where to find out which Workshops and Courses are right for you.

Take your Spanish further with an 'Improve' Workshop

If your Spanish is an ice-cream, the Improve Workshops are the extra toppings that really take things to the next level. But instead of chocolate sprinkles, we've designed the Improve Workshops to tackle KEY LANGUAGE SKILLS. These key skills - such as Listening and Speaking - are those essential aspects of language that always need extra work. The Improve Workshops are the chance for you to do just that.

Make it happen in one of our Special Workhops

The 2-hour Special Workshops give you the opportunity to work on the things that are famous for being challenging: Pronunciation, POR y PARA, the verbs SER and ESTAR and the Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns. The perfect opportunity to get cracking, make it happen and finally understand those things you haven't quite understood so far!

What you think! Student Feedback Survey Results

This Term El Patio sent out it's largest and most comprehensive survey ever. We wanted to know what we were doing right, and where we could improve - we wanted to know what you think of us! Find out the results in this article.

I Teach Spanish! ... Isidro Martínez García

Isidro is one of El Patio's most sought after and revered teachers. Having been with us for almost 10 years, he's earnt the respect and admiration of hundreds - perhaps thousands - of students.

In this article we dive into what makes Isidro tick - his strategies, his inspiration and the challenges he faces as a teacher. You'll also get lots of advice and even some practical exercises!

Travel Workshops - get set for an adventure!

The most memorable travel experiences are often moments spent with locals. And having a few key sentences can make such a big difference. These 1.5-hour Workshops cover key topics from telling the time and transport to learning how to say hello and make friends. Travel is great - and so are our Travel Workshops. Sign up to one and get set for an adventure.

I Teach Spanish! ... Beatrice Nanetti

Coming from a small town in the North of Italy, Beatrice was always fascinated with life elsewhere in the world. Naturally, this curiosity (like many others) lead her to the discipline of languages - her speciality? English and Spanish.

Now Beatrice gets to live in an English speaking country and teach Spanish - neither of which were her first language! We think that's pretty wonderful, and we hope you do too.
