The SMS Spanish Experience’s teaching method is based on an action-oriented approach. We do not want you to despair of classes, that is too theoretical and only grammar oriented. Our aim is to make you listen, understand and – the most important – to make you talk Spanish. That is why our methodology has a communicative conception of language and the belief, that learning is constructive and meaningful. You learn by inferring, deducing and relating forms and meanings, using and doing things with the new language. So, in our Spanish school, you will not only learn in an academic way, but you will immerse into the Spanish language and its culture. The way to achieve this will depend on the students’ tastes and style of learning. As SMS Spanish Experience does not follow a rigid methodology, we can provide you with many different and exciting options to learn Spanish. Independently of which one you choose, you will always be able to enjoy our high-quality standards in education. First, our teachers will offer you alternatives and suggestions, always adapting the content to the student’s needs and not simply following a fixed teaching plan as many schools do. Second, the classes will be complemented by a comprehensive school activities program, that is always related to the learned content and to our focus on making you learn the language in a natural surrounding. Third, we will comfort you with a friendly and vibrant atmosphere at our school. Furthermore, we believe in the importance of diversity and quality of the teaching materials used. Therefore the classes will be held with the support of interactive whiteboards, adequate school books and Spanish learning materials created by our teachers. Not to be forgotten is the fact that all our teaching staff are native Spanish as well as highly educated and experienced in their profession.

At Desilena our focus is on teaching at the highest level. The school has been accredited by Instituto Cervantes, wich means it meets the conditions set by the Instituto Cervantes Accreditation System for Centres, the only international accreditation exclusively focused on the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language. We teach both individual and group classes, and, in order to maintain our high levels of effectiveness, our groups are limited to 10 students. Our teaching timetable is from 9 a.m to 4 p.m., so if you wish to immerse yourself in learning Spanish you can do so. From the very first day of your course all lessons are taught completely in Spanish. We are located in new and modern premises where it is our hope that our students feel comfortable during the time they spend with us. Our classrooms are fully equipped and, from your first day with us, our staff will do everything possible to make you feel like a member of the Desilena family. During breaks students can rest, have tea or coffee, practice Spanish with other students, or use the library. Internet access is available and students can either use their own devices using our WiFi signal, or the school computers which are at their disposal. However, the most important thing is that in our school we have qualified teachers, with experience in teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language and you will see progress from the first day. Alongside learning vocabulary and grammar, through our teachers, you will come to know something of the culture, gastronomy and the spirit of the Spanish people. In addition, we offer a variety of extracurricular activities, such as dance, culture, films, cooking classes… in which we enjoy sharing our love of Spanish with you. If your enrolment is active, the weekly activities in the school are free for you. If you are not a Desilena’s student, the price per activity will be 5€. We love what we do, and because of this, we ask our students to complete questionnaires during their courses at our school so we can discover firsthand if there is anything we need to improve. If you are still not sure, do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have. We will be happy to pass on our passion for Spanish.

I took private lessons for a week. We mixed talking with exercises and I learned and had fun, Daniel was a really good teacher. more

Canarias Cultural- Escuela internacional de Español

The teachers were very nice and the classes had a good balance between speaking and grammar. Perhaps a bit more writing and a book (optional to buy for learning) would have been helpful. We always spoke Spanish, which was great. more
