Spanish School in Spain - Spanish Courses Gran Canaria

Wonderful, enthusiastic teachers and a rich, cultural programme that includes guided tours, museum visits and trips to local markets - highly recommended for a 360 experience of Spanish life in Gran Canaria. Academia El Capitán really made my language learning fun!

I followed this intensive Spanish course during 2 months in the beginning of the Year. For me It was of an excellent quality and it prepared me to understand and really express myself in Spanish. Our teacher Angel did a wonderful job. My group varied from 6 to 8 persons and he gave everyone the attention and support we needed in a good atmosphere, with a nice sense of humour and a big personal interest. This guy likes his job! Strongest points were the outdoor sessions where we were forced to speak our first Spanish phrases with real Spanish people. I also liked the cultural excursions and a couple of times we also visited good tapas restaurants. Best thing was the group with people with really different backgrounds, jobs, cultures and characters. Angel made us talk to each other, explaining our lives, ideas, convictions and even sometimes emotions. We were our own colourful conversation topics and that made this course not only very useful but also an experience never to forget.

I went to El Capitán for 4 weeks to learn Spanish! I had such an amazing experience. I had 2 teachers within my time there (Angel & Pilar). They were both sensational and very patient with me as it was my first time learning a language other than English. I also became friends with a lot of the students there as well :) While all the students varied slightly in ability the classes were structured to help each individual get the most out of class. The amount of classes/time you have in class depends also on class size. I enjoyed having classes in the morning and having all afternoon to explore Las Palmas and the surrounding areas. The school also organises tours around Las Palmas and some other towns which are great and informative! (At a small extra cost) Apart from the course, I also really enjoyed living in Las Palmas! The bars, cafes, beaches, surfing, friendly people and a relaxed lifestyle. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to learn Spanish. I hope to come back one day!

I visited an intensive A1 course in July 2019 and it was absolutely an amazing time. I learned and improved my spanish day by day thanks to the fantastic work of Angel and Monika. The classes are structured, we learned grammar, vocabulary and communication at the same time. We repeated regularly what we learned before and got answers for each question. Angel&Monika are perfect teachers who pay attention for the students very honestly and try to provide the best learning for everyone. The atmosphere of the classes are friendly and warm, I felt at home at the language school every day. I highly recommend the language school to everyone! In addition we had amazing optional cultural programmes. These events were also super helpful to get closer to the spanish culture and to the local canarian life. We visited wonderful and interesting places and learned a lot about the history of Canary Islands. Last,but not least we went to the best places to eat local food, everything was super delicious :) I will certanly return to further classes in the future! xoxoxo Ildiko ps: I had the luck to celebrate my birthday on the last day of the course with the class, it will be always a memorable time!

Ich habe hier zwei Wochen lang einen A1-A2 Kurs besucht. Von Zusammensetzung der Gruppe, über die Unterrichtsstunden bis hin zu den Angebotenen Exkursionen war alles sehr gut. Klasse Organisation und Danke an die Schulleitung :) Der Unterricht wurde humorvoll gestaltet und trotz teils trockener Themen nie langweilig. Jeder wurde im Unterricht regelmäßig zum spanisch sprechen aufgefordert (das wichtigste meiner Meinung nach ;) ). Das Gelernte konnte bei Aktivitäten außerhalb der Schule und Spielen zusätzlich geübt werden. Der gesamte Umgang war sehr Familiär und angenehm. Insgesamt tolle zwei Wochen. Vielen Dank an nochmal explizit an unseren Lehrer Arturo. Er hat den Unterricht wirklich toll und Abwechslungsreich gestaltet, so dass man jeden Morgen gerne zum Unterricht gekommen ist.

This language school is more than good! You get everything you need to learn the language and get to know the history and culture on Gran Canaria. The teachers are patient and helpful. The classes are build up with different methods to learn which brings some variation. The daily coffee break gives you the chance to talk Spanish outside of the classroom. The owner is kind and makes you feel home right away. All the cultural activities are thought through and well prepared. The activities on Fridays are difficult when you are a total beginner, but it is possible to manage and only helps you with your Spanish. The classes are small enough to get a lot of attention, tiring but so worth it! All in all the perfect place and school to learn Spanish.

Ich habe Ende letzten Jahres für vier Wochen einen Sprachkurs (Nivel B1) an der Schule gemacht und bin begeistert! Der Kurs war für mich genau richtig, um vor allem meine Grammatikkenntnisse zu vertiefen und viel zu sprechen. Der Unterricht ist ein Mix aus Grammatik, Hör- und Leseverständnis sowie Konversation. Darüber hinaus lernt man im Rahmen von außerschulischen Aktivitäten sehr viel über die kulturellen Besonderheiten der Insel. Im Allgemeinen habe ich mich wahnsinnig wohl gefühlt, während meines Aufenthaltes in Las Palmas. Die Atmosphäre war super familiär und sehr herzlich :) Ich habe dort wirklich sehr viel gelernt und ganz tolle Leute kennengelernt!!! Ich hoffe, dieses Jahr noch den B2-Kurs machen zu können :)

In February 2020 I had a great time learning Spanish at this language school (level A2). The team is young, motivated and committed to their work. The groups are usually quite small which makes your learning experience really intense. Different teaching techniques and methods are used to keep your motivation and language in focus. The organization before my stay was super easy and the email responses very fast.
