There is no better way to Learn Spanish than spending some time in Spain, living with a local family. You can find a Don Quijote Spanish school in most Spanish cities. Check out the schools we recommend in Spain.  With over 20 years experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language, Don Quixote has become the leader in the education sector. From the beginning the organization has been characterized by innovation in teaching Spanish in Spain and Latin America.

Currently, Don Quijote has seven schools in seven different locations, six of them in Spain: Barcelona, Granada, Madrid, Salamanca, Valencia and Tenerife, and one in Mexico: Guanajuato, as well as nearly 30 other partner schools in different destinations of Spain and Latin America.  Our destinations offer different combinations so the student can experience unique cultural settings like the cosmopolitan Barcelona, its Port and Barrio Gothic, the incredibly rich Alhambra in Granada, beautiful Madrid, the Capital of Spain and its Spanish Culture, the Renaissance Streets and University of Salamanca, the Golden Beaches of Valencia and the lunar landscapes of Tenerife.

Each destination has been carefully chosen by the cultural contributions that complete the experience of living in Spanish, because learning a language is not just learning grammar and vocabulary, but understanding how native speakers live the language and apply it to the day to day. That is why Don Quixote encourages the student to experience Spanish in real environments.

To complete the apprenticeship, don Quijote offers accommodations, ranging from sharing an apartment with other students, to living with local families, where they you can apply what they learn in class in a real communication environment. All accommodations have been carefully selected.

Spanish courses at don Quijote range from general to specialized courses, including the course of Spanish for Business or Medical Spanish. We also have courses that combine Spanish with fun, depending on the destination you choose: Spanish + scuba, Spanish + Flamenco, Spanish + Salsa, Spanish + kitchen, etc. All of them are organized  in small groups for students to make better use of their time with us, making our education teaching as personalized as possible.

We also have Premium and individual courses, in which we can develop customized programs for specific student needs. These courses can sometimes include class visits by special guests related to the course.

In addition, our formula + 5 allows the student to have extra activities 1 hour a day for free with the time supplementing cultural classes in Spanish.

In our courses we use the communicative method, to ensure that you are speaking Spanish from the first minute of class, making you learn the language naturally, as an acquisition of language.

From this method of communication we have created our own learning materials: Live Spanish. These materials have been prepared by our teachers with teaching experience who have given years of work with foreign students. These student-oriented materials throughout the learning process, assist in resolving concerns, foreseeing difficult situations that might be found, while at the same time offering an enjoyable learning experience. 

Don Quixote includes a wide range of services including, from the materials used in class: student book, photocopies, etc., Finally, students earn a certificate of achievement and academic credit course for American institutions. This completes the process of immersion in Spanish.

Letango Tours can also assist student families visiting Spain. We can customize trips throughout the country including private guided tours, excursions, hotels, cars, transfers, etc.
