Description: Learn Spanish in Switzerland of South America! Hidden behind the beautiful Andes mountain range, there is one of the most amazing countries in the world. With a maximum width of just 180 km and a length of an incredible 4.300 km, Chile offers virtually every landscape and climatic zone on earth. It seems as though when God created the world, he collected all the leftover pieces of every landscape and climate and put them together to make Chile. From the world's driest desert in the north, to the endless coastline in the west, from the majestic Andes in the east to the smoking volcanoes, virgin forests, lakes, fjords, rivers and glaciers of the south there is something for everybody in Chile.

The official language is Spanish. However, in some parts of Chile, where the indigenous people live, you can also hear Mapuche or Aymara. The Chileans are in general very quiet but unbelievably welcoming people. They are very proud of their amazing country and love to talk about its endless variety. The Chileans are very kind and helpful and will soon consider you to be their amigo so you will never feel lonely.

Highlights: Spanish Language Courses:

Santiago de Chile
All courses are offered for all levels of Spanish. Before starting your course you will take a little placement test to make sure that you are put in the right class. When you finish your Spanish language course you will be given a certificate of attendance which will look perfect in future university or job applications. Group classes consist of a maximum of six students and each class lasts 60 minutes. All courses can be started every Monday. If there were fewer than three students in one group class, only 15 classes will be held per week instead of 20

Valparaiso
You have the choice between group courses (20 classes per week), intensive courses (30 classes per week) and individual classes. The group and intensive courses have a maximum of five students per class and one class lasts 45 minutes. If you prefer to study Spanish on your own and take individual classes, you can arrange your schedule flexibly together with your teacher. All courses take place from Monday to Friday and can be started on any Monday. There are three different course levels. Besides the above-mentioned courses you will also have the possibility to practice your Spanish language skills during the free tutorial lessons in the afternoons.

Pucon
Courses are divided into two different levels of language: the beginner level, which is mainly focused on basic communication and grammar in daily life situations, and the advanced level, which mainly deals with problems and texts of the Mapuche culture (the indigenous people of this region) and also includes a visit to the Mapuche cultural center Kurarewe.
