FAQ
Questions about Spanish courses for seniors
Do I need to speak some Spanish already?
No. The course is open from A1 to C2. Before you arrive you take a written and oral level test, and we place you in the group that matches your level.
Will everyone in my class be over 50?
Not necessarily. Classes are organised by level, so your group may include students of different ages. As the 50+ course runs on set weeks, it is more likely that some of your classmates are your age. The activities and excursions of the cultural programme are reserved for the 50+ group.
Are the activities compulsory?
When you book the 50+ course, we organise the activities counting on your participation. If for any reason you can’t take part in one, please let us know. That’s the best part of the 50+ course: your classes and activities are all planned for you.
Can I come with my partner or a friend?
Yes. You can book together and share a double room in a host family or apartment, priced per person. If your partner is not taking the course, a small supplement applies to the accommodation price.
Will I have classes in the morning or in the afternoon?
Classes run from 9:00 to 13:00 and/or from 14:00 to 18:00. The school assigns the schedule, which may be subject to change.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. You receive a Debla certificate of attendance. You need to attend at least 80% of the lessons to receive it.
Is the textbook included?
No. The textbook costs 30 € per level. Registration is free.
