This course is recommended for students who wish to study in a group. The course consists of 4 lessons per day which are distributed between two blocks of 100 minutes; the first 100 minutes (divided into two 50 minute sessions) is a grammar class, and the second 100 minutes is a conversation class).

This course is a combination of the Foundation course with an additional 10 one-on-one lessons per week. Before beginning this course it might be useful for the student to tell us about their particular needs, interests and objectives in order to organise the classes effectively.

	SPECIFIC SPANISH COURSES

Spanish for Doctors
This course is entirely unique and created ‘in house’ by the staff of TILDE. It is aimed primarily at medical doctors, but other health professionals, such as nurses, auxiliaries etc., would undoubtedly benefit.


Business Spanish
Recommended for those who wish to work in Spain or who, perhaps, have the possibility of joining companies with commercial relations in the Spanish speaking business world.


Teacher Training
This course is recommended for teachers of Spanish who require a refresher course or for those who would like recommendations and ideas for exercises and class activities for their own Spanish teaching.

These courses are made to measure to the student’s requirements on a one-on-one basis of 10 to 20 lessons per week; this includes observational learning classes, but does not, however, include practise teaching.


Preparation for the D.E.L.E Examinations
These are individual classes given to students who wish to pass the Basic, Intermediate & Higher levels of the Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language (D.E.L.E).

This course, that also includes a practice or ‘mock’ exam, can be combined with the Foundation Course.


General Revision Courses I, II
- Recommended for students who want to revise, or who need to refresh their knowledge.
- These courses take place on fixed dates every 3 months; March, June, September & December. Please
   check with the school for precise dates.
- These courses last one week and consist of 20 classes.
- Number of students: a minimum of 4, and a maximum of 8.

Revision I. The course is divided into grammar and conversation classes. The grammar classes will be a revision of the different forms of the past tenses. In parallel, the conversation classes will deal with different themes which will have the objective of putting into practice the grammatical knowledge learned and which will give the student an interesting cultural (insight) and knowledge. Revision II. Grammar revision in the use of the Presente & Preterito Perfecto de Subjuntive, are just some of the aspects dealt with at this level.
