Get to know Spanish grammar in a motivating way

Bogota, Stefanie Muhlemann:

I have attended Spanish classes in “Nueva Lengua” every morning for the past 2 months. The teacher changes every 2 weeks and therefore I have already had the opportunity to experience some competent teachers. A short test was run over and over again to check if it was still at the right level. The curriculum contains a fixed system. But, of course, the teachers are open to explain another specific topic and go over it with the class if you wish.

Each group consists of 2-8 people. Often classmates are travelers and for this reason the constellation changes gradually every week. From 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. is the so-called deepening, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. the foundations are laid for the whole grammar and then from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. it is the practical part of the lesson. At the same time, the teacher changes for this lesson. You delve into what you learned in the previous two hours.

The teachers are creative and organize the lessons with games, quizzes, discussions, song lyrics and, weather permitting, we may meet outside. We laugh a lot together, exchange ideas about our cultures, discuss various topics and everything related to grammar. In order to achieve faster success, there is also homework here. The idea is certainly that they be done, but at the end of the day you are in this school voluntarily and then you look at it together the next day, but it is not verified if they have been done.

I feel very comfortable and in good hands here.

Operation is very informal and extremely easy. The employees of "Nueva Lengua” demonstrate their willingness to help in a wide variety of situations. If you have a wish, they will do everything possible to fulfill it and, of course, beyond the horizon of the school.

Activities take place every afternoon from Monday to Friday: cooking class, dance class, social projects, bike tour, cultural activities, etc. At least 2 Saturdays a month a larger excursion is planned such as rafting, visiting other cities and natural wonders and much more. plus.

To get an idea of ​​cultural life as a foreigner, the school keeps thinking about what festivals we could celebrate together.

Another offer that I also take advantage of are the private classes. I invariably benefit from this time. It is very intense and the teacher has the opportunity to work more specifically. Even if I don't have a specific wish or idea about which subject area I would like to study, the teacher will make a suggestion. One-on-one conversation also helps improve and polish pronunciation.
