Description:
| The don Quijote school in Salamanca is situated in the heart of the historic city center. The building is 100 meters from the renowned University of Salamanca and 2 minutes away from the splendid and famous Plaza Mayor. The school is a recently restored 16th century monastery. The modern materials used during the renovation are almost in natural balance with the richness, style and class of previous centuries. You enter the school through a beautiful courtyard. This courtyard and the garden divide the school into two parts. In the first part you will find the secretariat and the office. The second part houses 11 classrooms, a recreation room furnished with a video, piano, hi-fi, etc., a library, a staff room and three offices.
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 Salamanca, don Quijote also has schools in the following cities: Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, 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-Salamanca 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. | |
