Spanish in Cadiz

I have attended SIC twice --once in the summer and once in the winter. I highly recommend the school to professionals like myself who wish to improve their ability to communicate in Spanish at work. The focus on expressive communication in the Spanish Intensive course was exactly what I needed to become a functional Spanish speaker during a summer of study. My classes have been small and very personalised. All of my professors have been excellent, and their varying backgrounds have added to the richness of the conversations in class and the cultural experiences outside of school. I have studied with Juanma, Lolo, Paloma, Concha, and Borja. They were very kind, and they made everyone feel at home so we could all have fun together. It was convenient that the school arranged tours in the city with a local archeologist and historian on staff, and outings to nearby places of interest such as the Pueblos Blancos. The setting in Cádiz is perfect for speaking Spanish outside of class, since there are fewer people speaking English in Cádiz than in the larger cities of Málaga and Sevilla. The flamenco dance classes which the school arranged were not only enjoyable for the artistic aspect, but were a lovely way to meet friends and work on Spanish comprehension. Multiple beaches were easily accessible for swimming in the summer. They had a cooling Atlantic breeze to offer a break from the heat. The new residence has beautiful 19th Century architectural details, yet large, modern rooms with bathrooms in them, and a large new kitchen with a laundry area. In the winter we caught the scent of the ripe oranges being harvested in front of our building and saw a bit of the ocean from our balcony.The residence is convenient to everything a person needs, and to the school. Good restaurants, bars and coffee shops are a stone's throw from the front door. I will be returning to SIC the next chance that I have.

Two of my children attended classes at 'Spanish in Cadiz' while we were on holiday in the region. While they found the classes tricky, both have returned to school much better versed in the language and ready for the academic year ahead. A great way to learn the language!

I spent seven weeks taking classes in six different Spanish cities last summer. If you don't want to be bound to learning by a traditional syndicated textbook like Aula, then you will prefer SIC. The costs are reasonable, the staff seems cohesive, and the directors have decades of experience. I attended for two weeks and stayed with a family for one and the student residence for the other. I really enjoyed both!!

Spanish in Cádiz offers an excellent combination of study and fun, both in classes and many enjoyable activities afterwards. Everything is perfect – the location (next both to the old town and to the beach), the school building itself (a charming villa), and, most importantly, the teachers – professional and experienced, taking part in numerous social and cultural activities after classes, and making your study almost effortless. If you wish to combine study and holiday, and make unprecedented progress in your Spanish, don’t hesitate. Spanish in Cádiz is the best. Big thanks to Luis and Alejandro for inspiration and positive energy!!
