Soy estudiante de espanol? Y tu?
Welcome to the learning Spanish page.
Mother tongue for around 600 million people worldwide, the Spanish language is the second most spoken after Chinese, and is also the second most used language in the USA after English. For these reasons ever more residents of the Old World are learning Spanish; we are pleased that you wish to join them.
At Demostenes we teach effectively and help in achieving success – fast!
Classes
Classes are conducted in small groups, enabling an individual approach to be taken to each student. These groups are formed on the basis of language ability and age, with ability determined by a placement test and conversation with a teacher. At intermediate level and higher, lessons are taken in turn by two teachers, a native speaker of the target language and a Polish teacher. Students enjoy the benefit of audio-visual aids, whether recordings, wall charts, games or the like, and are also able to make use of the Internet and computer programs.
After hours
All of our students may take advantage of FREE individual consultations, computer classes, film screenings in the original and our lending library of books and magazines.
Students gain access to our multimedia room, which houses computer equipment, a television, a VCR, a DVD player and a radio and cassette and CD player. We also have at our disposal a multimedia projector for group activities. Besides Internet access, we are able to offer a dozen or more satellite television channels and radio stations in a variety of languages.
At Superior level you are invited to attend the seminar The Language and Culture of Spain.
Coursebooks
During lessons we make use of coursebooks from reputable publishing houses such as Difusión and SGEL, as well as our own materials drawn up by teachers utilising sources of contemporary language use, whether the Internet, the press or television. In use too are board games, pictures and source materials, for instance underground maps, guides and public transport timetables. In addition, every classroom is equipped with educational wall charts, maps and other teaching aids for greater convenience during lessons.
For purchase of a coursebook our students receive a 15% discount!
