Learning Spanish

first hand offers possibilities to learn or improve spanish:

first hand Spanish Course

This is a self-desiged spanish course especially for students who have experience in learning languages and who want to get a lot of 'input' in a short time. We offer these intensiv beginner, middle and advanced classes that take place 2 hours a day in private classes or 2-3 persons groups – a lot of homework and selfstudy is included.
You can make this course parallel to the schoolproject – the time schedule is flexible according to your school schedule.
You cannot make this or any other language course parallel to any other first hand project – here you have to plan this time extra. We recommend for those volunteers the option with the cooperating language school (see below).

Costs
1 week – 160 US$
2 weeks – 295 US$
3 weeks – 410 US$
4 weeks – 520 US$
Additionally the weekly project costs (190 US$) for the homestay in a guestfamiliy.

Cooperating languageschool

This course cannot be made parallel to any first hand project – you always have to plan this time extra – so this is recommended when you don't want to work in the school project.
