A wonderful place in which to practice and rapidly improve your Spanish, thanks to the open, friendly character of the local jerezanos. A medium-sized city of 180,000 inhabitants, yet far removed from the tourism of the crowded coastal resorts and the larger provincial capitals, a place which has all the amenities of a city (theatre, shopping areas and international airport) but managing to preserve its traditions and a way of life which is still 100% Spanish and above all Andaluz, a picturesque old city centre steeped in history, from the remains of the 11th century Moorish castle to the 17th century palaces of the local nobility.
Strategically located between the white sand beaches of the Atlantic coast and the picturesque mountain villages of the Sierra, you are never at a loss for things to do in this part of the world. The local climate, unique in Europe and even within Spain itself, boasts an average of 290 days of sun per year and has average winter temperatures of 10º C, meaning that local life takes place outdoors in the street cafés and palm fringed, cobblestone squares of the city centre.
Here in Jerez you are given the opportunity to put into practice what you learn in the classroom, be it visiting the picturesque local fish market, or on a visit to one of the local sherry companies to learn first hand the secrets of the wines and brandy of Jerez, at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art where you can watch the horsemen putting the famous Cartujano horses through their paces, and in the small flamenco peñas
where amateurs and friends get together to discuss, sing and dance flamenco. Additional activities include wine tasting, golf, yoga, horse riding and flamenco dance.
tenidiomas... not just a language
Founded in 1982, our small language school has over twenty years of experience teaching here in Jerez, organising courses at all levels from Basic to Advanced. Our recently enlarged premises in the heart of the historic centre of the city provide full facilities, including air-conditioned classrooms and a multimedia area for free access self-study sessions. Over the years we have been able to design courses which are well structured, but at the same time flexible so as to cater for the different needs of each individual student. A placement test followed by a personal interview on arrival allows us to set individual objectives with regard to the vocabulary and structures to be studied during your stay.
Tenidiomas is an examination centre for the Diploma Internacional de Español as well as running courses to prepare students for the DELE exams.
On all our courses the emphasis is placed upon communication, our aim being to develop conversation skills as quickly as possible, with all students having free access to the multimedia area in order to practice writing and listening skills at their own pace.
All courses include a programme of visits and excursions so that each participant gets to learn not only a language, but also something of the local culture and heritage of this wonderful little corner of Andalucía.
