Escuela de Idiomas Violeta Parra
The School
Our Spanish language school is situated at the base of the San Cristobal Hill, the biggest park in Santiago. We are located in the heart of the colourful bohemian district of Bellavista, in the center of Santiago. Since 1985 a profusion of restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, and small theaters have sprung up here. The neighborhood is a magnet for students, artists and craftsmen.
The school was founded in 1992, and has been a member of the international TANDEM Network since 1996. We offer spanish language courses at the school, family homestays and accommodation in boarding houses, hotels or apartments, assuring individual service in a friendly atmosphere.
Levels
Spanish Group Instruction is divided into seven levels, each level of 1 week duration:
* Spanish for Beginners
* Basic Spanish I and II
* Intermediate Spanish I and II
* Advanced Spanish I and II
Before starting your Spanish Course we will send you a placement test which helps us to find the right level for you. It is very important for us that we get this test back at least 5 days before your course begins.
Courses
* Group Courses - starting each Monday with max. 7 students per level (mostly less).
* One to One - Individual Spanish instruction generally in the afternoon schedule
* Two to One - Semi-individual: one teacher, two students.
Excursions, field trips, social events
With our fieldtrip program and our excursions, we want to give our spanish students a deeper insight to the Chilean society. We offer a number of activities, at least one per week. Additionally, we have a welcome reception with empanadas and wine every Monday after the classes, and outings on Thursday night.
