Trial class

Spanish school · Alicante · since 2016

You already read the menu.
Now argue the bill.

Spanish for people who already live here and are tired of smiling without understanding. Groups of six, two hours a week, and a syllabus built out of banks, doctors, landlords and neighbours — not airports and hotels.

The first class is free, and we do not ask for a card.

  • 1

    You can read the menu. You can't follow the waiter.

    Here you speak from day one, and the teacher does not slow down for you.

  • 2

    Three years of saying this is the year

    Two fixed hours a week, always the same day. Anything else does not work, and you know it.

  • 3

    The last place treated you like a tourist

    You live here: you pay bills, argue with the insurer, go to the doctor. That is the syllabus.

The levels, written as things you will be able to do

“B1” tells nobody anything. This does. The hours are the ones actually needed, not the ones that look tidy in a brochure.

  1. A1

    You order in a bar, book a doctor's appointment, and understand the number they give you.

    60 h
  2. A2

    You argue a bill on the phone without being hung up on out of boredom.

    +80 h
  3. B1

    You follow a residents' meeting and say something in it.

    +100 h
  4. B2

    You work in Spanish all day and end up only slightly more tired than in your own language.

    +120 h
  5. C1

    You make jokes. That is the real border, and it comes after all the others.

    +160 h

Where am I right now?

Three of the forty questions we ask on the first day. If all three make you hesitate, you start at A2 and absolutely nothing bad happens.

This test is a sample: it marks nothing and saves nothing.

Who teaches

  • Rocío Alcázar

    Sevilla

    Ten years teaching adults. Corrects rarely and at exactly the right moment, which is the hard part.

  • Iñaki Mendia

    Bilbao

    Twelve years as a civil servant. Knows exactly which sentence to say at a government counter.

  • Lucía Ferrer

    València

    Teaches B2 and C1. She is the one who laughs at your jokes once they finally land.

Questions we always get

I have never spoken a word. Can I still start?

Yes, and it is the normal case here: half of every A1 group starts without a word. What we will not do is put you in a group above your level just to fill it.

What happens if I miss a class?

Nothing. We send you what was covered and you can take that class again with another group at the same level within the month. A single missed class is not refunded, and we say so before charging you.

Is there an enrolment fee?

No. No enrolment fee, no materials fee, no “platform charges”. The price in the table is the price.

And if I leave the city mid-course?

Fifteen days’ notice and that is that. No lock-in: people living abroad move, and charging for that would be taking advantage.

First class, free

You come in, sit down with a real group and talk for an hour and a half. If you do not like it, you do not come back and nothing has happened.

This form is a sample and sends nothing: the school does not exist.
