Additionally, you will improve your skills in interpreting legal and political language within global diplomatic frameworks, all through a flexible and accessible online format.

SMALL GROUP
We prioritize quality over quantity in our teaching approach. By maintaining small class sizes, we ensure that each student receives personalized attention and constructive feedback. Our courses always run a maximum of six students per group. This structure not only enhances your learning experience but also ensures you have ample opportunities to practice.
ALL COURSE MATERIALS INCLUDED
Before each lesson, you will receive the course materials by email, including PDFs, MP3s and interactive online exercises.
Our online Business Spanish courses integrate listening, reading, writing and speaking tasks to develop a broad range of professional communication skills. Examples of the type of materials used in the courses are available in the Sample Materials section.
METHOD
Lessons are delivered live online in a small group. Each session combines diplomatic vocabulary, analysis of authentic or adapted materials, focused language work, discussion and practical communication tasks.
Students receive immediate correction and individual feedback. The content, pace and emphasis may be adapted to the professional interests and language needs of the group.
The course develops Spanish communication skills through legal and professional contexts.
We design our syllabi with reference to CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) descriptors and adapt them to each student’s needs.
ASSESSMENT AND FEEDBACK
Progress is monitored throughout the course through participation in discussions, completion of practical language tasks and individual tutor feedback. There is no formal pass or fail assessment as part of the course.
Students who attend at least seven of the ten lessons may request a statement of attendance. This confirms participation in the course and is not an externally accredited qualification or an official certification of a CEFR level.
