Learning Spanish in Tenerife: An Adventure in Culture and Language

Learning Spanish opens doors to new cultures, enhances career opportunities, and fosters deeper 
connections with millions of people worldwide. With this in mind teachers from all across Europe have attended the course “Intensive Spanish language course for education staff” as it is never too late to learn a new language!

The new edition of the course took place in Tenerife from 14/07/2024 to 20/07/2024. We had the pleasure to welcome a group composed by Paloma and Emma from Loreto Secondary school Bray,co.Wicklow in Ireland, Eva from Gymnázium Pavla Jozefa Šafárika - Pavol Jozef Šafárik Gimnázium Rožňava in Slovakia, Mariann from Piarista Általános Iskola, Gimnázium, Kollégium és Boldog Donáti Celesztina Óvoda in Hungary, Sára from Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava in Slovakia. 

During the week, participants engaged in various challenges aimed at improving their Spanish usage, listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

​Our journey began with a revision of Spanish grammar rules from simple to complex structures. Starting from the second day, each morning began with a recap activity to reinforce newly acquired knowledge. 
Given that language learning requires constant exercise, every theory session in the course was filled with interactive activities.

Participants enhanced their comprehension of spoken Spanish by listening to and interacting with native speakers, while also improving their writing, listening skills, and pronunciation always helped by different language learning methods as games, quizzes, real-life simulations and so much more. 

​In each lesson participants learned how to describe everyday situations, daily tasks, and had conversations about routines, time, and schedules. Additionally, an important focus of discussion was the significance of learning a foreign language but also travel experiences were shared, and everyone talked about our future plans.

The participants tackled speaking challenges with impressive enthusiasm and engagement. During breaks, they conversed in Spanish, sharing insights about their discoveries and discussing plans for the afternoon's cultural and networking activities. We hope they maintain this positive attitude in their future Spanish studies and continue to explore the Spanish culture that they have discovered during the week in Tenerife.
