This Intensive Spanish Course increases your classroom time by offering 6 group lessons per day from Monday to Friday. It is just like the General Spanish Course of 20 lessons but has 2 extra small-group lessons every day. These extra group lessons are generally taught in even smaller groups and focus on Spanish conversation, improving your fluency and communication. As the extra lessons are focused mainly on conversation, the Intensive 30 requires you to start with a lower elementary level of Spanish. If you are an absolute beginner and want a more intense course we recommend that you choose any of the combination courses.
