Learn Spanish in San Sebastian! The city at the north coast of Spain has a lot to offer and is more diverse than most other Spanish cities. Learn to surf at one of San Sebastian’s beaches, explore the coast in a kayak or on a SUP board, party with the locals at one of the lively festivals and enjoy Basque cuisine in the numerous bars and restaurants. San Sebastian is waiting for you!
San Sebastian is a city in the Basque Country, at the north coast of Spain, close to the boarder to France. The diverse city has a lot to offer. The three beaches are popular with sunbathers and surfers. The numerous museums and international festivals offer an insight into Basque culture and history. Basque cuisine is world famous for its pintxos, small bites served with drinks in many bars. The mountains close to San Sebastian are great for walking and skiing. The famous Way of St. James runs through San Sebastian.
Our partner school in San Sebastian was founded more than 25 years ago and is located close to the centre. It takes only five minutes to walk to the city centre and ten to walk to the beach. Close to the school you can find a large park and a number of bars and cafes. The school is very well equipped with 18 spacious classrooms with air condition, a multimedia room, computers with free internet access, Wi-Fi, a common room, a library, a terrace and drinks and snacks machines.
General Spanish Course:
The general Spanish course is the most popular course. 20 lessons per week give you lots of opportunities to improve your language skills and give you enough time to explore San Sebastian in the afternoons. The maximum number of students per group is 12. If you already have some knowledge of Spanish, you can start any Monday. Absolute beginners start on specific dates.
Intensive Spanish Course:
Would you like to study Spanish intensely and make a lot of progress in a short time? If so, the intensive Spanish course is right for you. In the morning, you take general Spanish lessons. In the afternoon, you have the opportunity to do additional exercises and practise speaking in small groups. If you already have some knowledge of Spanish, you can start any Monday. Absolute beginners start on specific dates.
One-to-one Spanish Course:
A one-to-one Spanish course gives you the opportunity to focus on particular skills and topics in a course programme adapted to your individual needs. This allows you to make as much progress as possible in a short time.
Host Family:
In a host family, you live with a Spanish family and share their daily life. It is a great opportunity to learn about the real Spanish way of life. All host families are carefully selected and are very welcoming. You have your own bedroom and share kitchen, bathroom and living room with the family members. You can choose between breakfast, half board and full board.
Shared Apartment:
If you want to meet international and Spanish students, a shared apartment is the ideal accommodation for you. You have your own bedroom and share kitchen, bathroom and living room with other students. This gives you the opportunity to meet other students and speak Spanish with them.
Student Residence:
The student residence, located just a few kilometers from the language school, is home to both language school students and university students. You have your own room with private bathroom and can choose between breakfast, half board and full board in the cafeteria. Facilities include a gym, a sauna, a library and various sports facilities.
Private apartments, hotels and hostels:
