Letras Castellanas offers Spanish courses and accommodation at excellent prices without sacrificing quality. At Letras Castellanas our aim is to teach Spanish to students of any age who want to learn without having to pay too much. Our costs are low. This is our philosophy and also the reason for our attractive prices.

The communication between the student and the teacher is constant. The spanish students are the protagonists of your own learning, the teacher is another class member, the team leader.

It embraces all the linguistic fields, with special attention paid to grammar, pronunciation, comprehension and oral.

Our relaxed and friendly methods will interest you and motivate you in such a way that you will become involved without realising it.
        
Pleasure is the opposite of boredom, not seriousness. Our way of teaching rejects monotony. Instead, we prefer to believe that learning should be enjoyable and profitable which guarantees you great results.

The students are able to make proposals or suggestions about the rhythm of the class or about activities in the school.

You will progressively learn to speak Spanish, you will learn it through speaking, remembering and using constantly what you have already learnt.

The atmosphere is easy going and familiar, everyone knows your name. Learning is so much quicker when the environment is relaxed and personal, that's why one of our principal objectives is to "break the ice" from the very first day in class.
