Just arrived in Madrid, starting a new job or about to begin your au pair year? An intensive course helps you get by in Spanish much sooner: ordering, renting a flat, going to the doctor, talking to colleagues or to your host family. At Lingua Lab we work on speaking and listening in small groups, with in-person classes in Prosperidad.
Our intensives are designed for expats, au pairs, students and professionals who want to make the most of a few weeks. Ask us about morning options too.
If you need Spanish quickly, increasing the frequency of your classes makes a real difference.
Our Spanish intensives concentrate more learning hours into a shorter period, so you stay in constant contact with the language, consolidate what you learn and get many more chances to speak, listen and correct mistakes.
It is not about doing more exercises. It is about using much more Spanish, and living in Madrid, every day outside the classroom becomes practice too.
Gain confidence to talk with your host family, handle the school run and enjoy your year in Madrid.
Manage everyday life in Madrid: paperwork, renting, shopping, health appointments and making new friends.
Get ready for meetings, calls and conversations with colleagues and clients who work in Spanish.
Method
Sometimes moving forward little by little is not enough.
Everyday situations come up from day one. An intensive gives you the basics to get by and the confidence to use them.
A new job, a team that works in Spanish or clients in Spain may require a level you need to reach in a short time.
Make the first weeks easier: understand the family, the children and the city from the very beginning.
If you have been studying for a while but feel stuck, temporarily increasing the intensity can help you break through.
Our goal is not for you to pile up class hours, but for those hours to turn into a greater ability to understand and communicate.
Speak from the start and practise situations adapted to your level.
Get your ear used to different rhythms, expressions and real-life situations.
Learn words and expressions you can use straight away in Madrid.
Work on the structures you need to express yourself correctly, without turning the class into a list of rules.
Improve clarity, intonation and confidence when you speak.
More participation, more interaction and much closer follow-up.
If you need Spanish for work, we can focus the course on real professional situations.
Meetings, calls, emails, presentations, dealing with clients or working with Spanish-speaking colleagues.
The goal is for Spanish to stop being a barrier at work.
Our intensive Spanish courses concentrate more hours of training for students with a near goal: settling in Madrid, a new job, an au pair year, university studies or any situation where time matters.
You do not need a specific level to start.
Build a solid foundation and start handling simple conversations from the very first classes.
Consolidate what you know, expand your vocabulary and, above all, gain fluency and comprehension.
If you have a specific need, we can put more emphasis on the skills you most need to work on.
