GROUP CLASSES
Learn Spanish with other students at a similar stage of Spanish. You learn from your teacher and from each other — sharing questions, discoveries, mistakes and breakthroughs as you build confidence together. Being surrounded by people who are progressing at a similar level creates natural opportunities to practise and share the experience beyond the classroom.
With a maximum of 6 students per group, you receive focused personal attention while benefiting from the interaction of a small learning group.
Our mini-group Spanish classes are organised into 10 levels, from A1.1 beginner to C2.2 advanced, so you are always matched with students at a similar level of Spanish.
Group classes are also part of our German government certified Bildungsurlaub Ecuador program, allowing German students to combine Spanish education with an experience in Ecuador.
20 hours per week (Monday to Friday)
2 hours of grammar in the morning / 2 hours of conversation in the afternoon

PRIVATE CLASSES
With private lessons, your teacher gets to know you, your Spanish level, your goals and the way you learn best. Each class is shaped around what you need most, allowing your learning to adapt as your confidence, interests and Spanish develop.
Your teacher follows our internationally accredited curriculum while adapting it to your individual progress. You are not limited to moving through every level and topic in sequence — your classes can move faster through areas you already understand and focus more deeply on the areas where you need support.
Private classes are ideal for students with specific goals, such as preparing for the DELE exam, developing Spanish for work or university, improving conversation skills, or preparing for volunteering in Ecuador.
They also offer the flexibility to fit Spanish around your time in Montañita — whether you have a short stay, are volunteering, surfing or working remotely.

SPANISH FOR FAMILIES
Family Spanish classes make learning fun for everyone. Our teachers adapt lessons to each family member’s age, interests and energy, keeping children engaged and adults involved. Class time is not limited by four walls — Spanish comes to life in real settings, from the beach to the village and everyday situations.
A good choice for travelling families and for those who already live in the area, especially new arrivals wanting to improve both their Spanish and their integration into the local community.
