Method
You speak from day one
No translating word lists. Every class is built around a real situation and you leave it having spoken.
01
Live classes, not recordings
A small-group video call: you join with a link, nothing to install.
02
Six students at most
Enough to practise in pairs, small enough that you speak every session.
03
Our own material in three languages
Worksheets and audio explained in Spanish, English or Arabic, as you prefer.
Students
What people already at B1 say
“I spent two years trying with apps. Six months here and I write messages to my wife's family.”
“The group is small and that changes everything: you cannot hide, you speak.”
“I join class from my phone on the train. I have never missed a session because of work.”

Questions
Before you start
Do I need to know the alphabet?
No. Level A1 starts with the letters and how to write them. If you already read, the placement test will put you higher.
Are classes online or on site?
Regular classes are live by video call. The calligraphy workshops are on site in Madrid.
What if I miss a day?
We send you that class's material and you can catch up with another group at your level.
Can I change group or time?
Yes, with one week's notice. We confirm the free places in each group at your level.
