In the 10th century, Córdoba was considered the most populous city in the world and the center of education as it had many libraries, medical schools, and universities.

Students get sufficient Spanish courses with our Spanish teacher, we put emphasis on practice, so during lessons students play a lot, because we think the game is the best teacher. Spanish classes can be described in two words: dynamic and practical. That is why, after intensive and hard learning, the students had written an exam. All the participants passed with very good results!
