Course description

The Intensive 10 Spanish course is a lighter group course for students who want regular Spanish classes while keeping more free time for self-study, work, sightseeing, cultural activities or daily life in Madrid.

Students follow 10 Spanish lessons per week, usually 2 lessons per day from Monday to Friday. Classes use a communicative Spanish immersion method and focus on practical language use through speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing.

In many cases, Intensive 10 students join part of an Intensive 20 group. Because of this, regular self-study and contact with Spanish outside the classroom help students follow the rhythm of the course and continue progressing.

This course is especially suitable for students who prefer a less intensive timetable, such as expats, Erasmus students, interns, au pairs, digital nomads, working students and other students already living in Madrid. Complete beginners may be better suited to the Intensive 20 course, which gives more classroom time and support.

School description

Classes at Linguaschools Madrid are taught in small groups by qualified native Spanish-speaking teachers using a communicative Spanish immersion method. Lessons focus on practical Spanish through speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing. Teachers adapt the pace and classroom focus to the level, goals and needs of each group.

The school is located on Carrera de San Jerónimo, just 1 minute walk from Puerta del Sol, one of Madrid’s most central and well-connected areas. This makes it easy for students to reach the school by public transport and to enjoy cafés, restaurants, shops and cultural areas before or after class.

Linguaschools Madrid has a friendly, familiar school atmosphere with classrooms equipped for in-person Spanish lessons. Digital screens or projectors may be used where relevant to support teaching.

School location

Linguaschools Madrid is a small boutique-style Spanish school for adult learners in the centre of Madrid and part of the Linguaschools Spanish language school network. The school is located on Carrera de San Jerónimo, just 1 minute walk from Puerta del Sol, one of Madrid’s most central and well-connected areas.

Madrid is Spain’s capital and offers a strong setting for Spanish immersion, with museums, theatres, cafés, tapas bars, markets, parks, shopping streets and neighbourhoods such as Las Letras, Malasaña, Chueca, La Latina and Retiro. Students can combine Spanish classes with daily life in a large, lively Spanish-speaking city.

The school’s central location makes it easy for students to move around Madrid by metro, bus, train or on foot before and after class. Many of the city’s main cultural areas and transport connections are close by, making the school convenient for both short-stay students and longer-term learners.

Accommodation options such as shared apartments and host families are available within approximately 25–40 minutes travel distance of the school, depending on the option and availability.

Host family accommodation in a double room with half board is suitable for two students travelling together who want breakfast and dinner included while studying Spanish in Madrid.

Students share a room in a carefully selected host home and receive breakfast and dinner each day. Sharing meals with a host can give students more opportunities to hear and practise everyday Spanish outside the classroom while experiencing daily life in a local home.

Host families may be families, couples, single adults or retired people, so each home environment is different. Students are expected to respect the house rules and customs of their host. Host family accommodation is usually within approximately 5–40 minutes travel distance of the Madrid school, depending on availability.
