Questions about group classes?
Here are the essentials. For help with your level or booking, contact our team.
Which Spanish level should I choose?
A1 is suitable for complete beginners. A2 is for learners who already have a basic foundation, while B1 is for intermediate learners who want to handle longer conversations. Read the curriculum pages above or contact our team for help choosing. If your level is above B1, ask us about private Spanish lessons.

Each class includes 100 minutes of teaching: two 50-minute lessons with a 10-minute break. The scheduled class time is 110 minutes in total.
How many students are in a group?
There are no more than six participants. Your scheduled class is guaranteed to take place even if you are the only student. It will follow the group curriculum, topic and timetable.
Can I start on any weekday or skip dates?
Yes. The rolling curriculum lets you join on any weekday and choose non-consecutive dates. Missed topics come around again in the next cycle. Keep your package’s three-month validity and the 24-hour cancellation deadline in mind.
Can I change levels?
If your class feels too easy or too challenging, speak with our team before changing levels. A move depends on your current Spanish skills and availability.
