Course description

The Intensive Course 20 is designed for students who wish to advance quickly in their level of Spanish through a dynamic, practical and effective learning experience.

The course consists of 20 lessons per week, Monday to Friday, taught in small groups, ensuring personalised attention and active participation in class. The sessions focus on the balanced development of all language skills: speaking, writing, listening and reading, with a special emphasis on communication.

We follow a communicative approach and use the immersion method, so classes are conducted in Spanish from day one. The activities and communicative situations are based on real contexts and adapted to the needs of the students, promoting practical and meaningful learning.

The Intensive 20 course is offered at all levels, from beginner to advanced, and follows the Reference Levels of the Instituto Cervantes and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

It is the ideal option for those who wish to improve their Spanish intensively, whether for academic, professional or personal reasons, while enjoying a linguistic and cultural immersion in Valencia.

School description

Our mission is to engage our students in language learning and intercultural communication. We do this by providing high-quality language tuition, from individuals to institutions, through our group courses, private tuition and corporate training programs.

At VIVE, you’ll learn Spanish from native speakers who have undergone extensive training. Each Spanish teacher will bring their own personal experience, offering a unique perspective on the life, culture and society as the course progresses.

We have facilities of more than 600m2, located in C/Guardia Civil, 30, in the heart of the university area, near Blasco Ibáñez and Avda. de los Naranjos, with all types of classrooms perfectly equipped and prepared for teaching Spanish as a foreign language. We also have spaces for workshops, study areas and spaces where you can chat before and after the lessons.

VIVE is perfectly connected by the metro and bus network to any point in the city, from the city centre to the beach. In addition, Valencia is a medium-sized and completely flat city, with bike lanes all over the city, so a bicycle is ideal for any journey.

We use the immersion method of language teaching. This means the majority of the course will be conducted in Spanish.

Our methodological approach is communicative. We ensure that the communicative situations with which we work are close to the reality of the students and their needs.

All our courses, methodology and curriculum have been developed taking into account the Reference Levels for Spanish of the Instituto Cervantes and the Common European Framework of Reference: Learning, Teaching and Evaluation.
