Learning a language is much more than learning its formal structure, it is also about using the appropriate register in any given situation. To become adept at this, it is essential to understand and have a knowledge of the culture of those that speak it.

To achieve this, don Quijote offers several courses – theoretical and practical – and other complementary cultural activities such as the cinema, workshops on important aspects of communication (gestures, writing…), a wine tasting course, etc. All these things will help you gain a more in-depth understanding of the culture and customs of the country. Other activities such as dance and singing classes are an interesting and fun addition to your Spanish course.

To enable you to discover other places, don Quijote organizes half-day, full day or weekend trips on Saturdays and/or Sundays. We also provide the opportunity for you to engage in ‘intercambios’ or exchanges with native speakers outside the classroom. Sometimes you will speak in Spanish with your intercambio and other times in your mother tongue or another language you speak well.
