Training for adult learners
SPANISH EXPRESS – Level I: Survival Spanish for everyday life
This 4-day intensive course is designed for adults with no prior knowledge of Spanish, who wish to quickly acquire basic communication skills for everyday situations. Through a practical, immersive and dynamic approach, participants learn essential phrases and cultural nuances that help them navigate daily life in Spain — from greeting someone to ordering a coffee or asking for directions.
The course takes place in the vibrant context of the Basque Country, a bilingual region where Spanish and Basque (Euskera) coexist, offering a unique environment to explore language learning as a gateway to inclusion, integration, and cultural exchange. Participants will experience authentic situations, role plays, and visits to local spaces that bring the language to life.
Hosted by Media Creativa, this mobility combines language learning with cultural immersion, promoting not only linguistic competence but also social confidence and intercultural awareness.
