Description:
| The don Quijote school is located in stately building on Calle Pelayo, just a block away from the famous Rambla de Cataluņa. La Rambla connects the old city by the sea with the impressive 19th century 'El Ensanche' district in Barcelona. Like all the other major streets, this boulevard runs to the beautiful Plaza de Cataluņa, which today is the lively center of the city. don Quijote-Barcelona is located no more than 200 meters from this important square. In other words, don Quijote is ideally situated within Barcelona. Everything you could want to see or do is just a few minutes away from the school. From a convenience standpoint, both the bus stop and metro are a short distance from don Quijote-Barcelona. The school is spacious with large classrooms and equipped with teaching aids such as video equipment and computers.
don Quijote opened its first school in 1989, and today has a reputation as one of the finest organizations in Spain. This reputation has helped to bring students from all over the world to study Spanish at the various don Quijote schools. In addition to a school in Barcelona, don Quijote also has schools in the following cities: Madrid, Granada, Salamanca, and Tenerife. The variety of locations where don Quijote has language schools has proven to be a great benefit to our students. While most people will choose to study at just one location, we have many students who decide to divide up their time between the different locations. The benefit of this is obvious: students can get to know distinct parts of Spain will continuing to receive the same type of instruction at each don Quijote location. We have had students study a few weeks in Granada, spend a month in Salamanca, and then finish off their program with a two week stay in Barcelona!
The lessons at the don Quijote schools are lively and varied. The emphasis is on conversation but, of course, don Quijote also pays attention to grammar, reading, listening and writing. In the classes, the school makes use of overhead projectors, video and other audio-visual materials. To ensure that the lessons are as practical as possible, you will work with newspaper articles and learn how to conduct a telephone conversation in Spanish for example. Films and documentaries will also be viewed, songs will be listened to and menus read. In addition, you will give talks and take part in role-play situations.
Besides offering excellent Spanish language programs, don Quijote also offers (and or assists in arranging) a variety of interesting cultural activities and weekend excursions allowing student the chance to really get to know Spain.
As with many of our other schools, don Quijote-Barcelona not only provides general Spanish language study, but can also provide specialized programs for businesspeople, lawyers, teachers, etc. Specialized courses are offered under a private instruction format. | |
