Study Spanish abroad

Our partner school, Enforex, was founded in 1989. It is one of the largest schools specializing in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. Enforex has 19 academic centers open all year long, located in the most important and emblematic cities of Spain - Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Salamanca, Almuñecar, Valencia and Marbella 

During 2004 more than 20.000 international students - from 52 different countries - came to ENFOREX to learn Spanish, creating an extremely interesting and culturally varied atmosphere from all over the world.

ENFOREX is a member of the following national and international organizations: FIYTO, BELTA, NAFSA, ALTO, UNIÓN LATINA, AEEM, AMACFE & AECAE. Our school in Madrid, Barcelona and Marbella have been qualified by the CEELE (Certificate of teaching of Spanish as a foreign language), which is given by the Department of Spanish Language of the University of Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) and the Governmental Institution ERE (Association of Spanish as Economic Resource).

We are accredited by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, the Swedish CSN and the German BILDUNGSURLAUB.

Quality in our teaching inside and outside the school, updated methodology, effective and pragmatic pedagogy are the basis of our courses. Perfection and enthusiasm are also part of ENFOREX philosophy when it comes to carrying out our programs.

Content: Methodology is based on acquiring the linguistic and pragmatic functional aspects of the spoken language along with an understanding of the socio-cultural elements of the Spanish way of life. In all our courses we study the basic language skills individually: reading, writing, speaking and listening…then we work to integrate them. In addition to these skills we also emphasize grammatical structure to help the student reach an optimum threshold of communicative proficiency. Additionally, to broaden the student's general perspective, we offer the possibility of studying distinct facets of Spanish culture including history, art, civilization, literature, cinema, and more. We feel that immersion language learning is a dynamic process which takes advantage of the fact that the students are living within the Spanish culture.
