Most language schools here in Switzerland or in Spain, for example, offer various Spanish courses from which you can choose the one that suits your goals and wishes. As a rule, most language schools offer standard, intensive and diploma courses. Standard and intensive language courses differ mainly in the number of lessons you attend per week. Diploma courses prepare you for Spanish language diplomas. These Spanish courses all take place in a group, at daily or weekly fixed times over a precisely defined period of time. At some language schools, however, you also have the option of attending public Spanish courses that do not have a fixed start and end date, but where new students join or leave the course on an ongoing basis.

However, language training is not only possible in groups or on the premises of the school itself. More and more private courses and coaching sessions are also being booked, allowing language learners to set their own course schedule according to their needs and at their own pace, enabling them to learn a language quickly and efficiently. For companies that want to train some of their employees in Spanish, so-called company courses are ideal. The seminar provider develops the training concept with you as the person responsible so that your employees learn exactly what they need for their daily or non-daily work, without having to take other people into consideration. This means that not only the participants, but the entire company benefits from this Spanish course.

In addition, you will always find special courses, such as online language courses, Spanish courses such as Spanish 50+, i.e. for people aged 50 and over, language courses for families, Spanish and flamenco.

Language schools usually offer different course models from which you can choose the one that suits you best. These are usually standard courses in which you learn Spanish quickly once a week for around two hours at the language school over a predetermined period of six to nine months. An intensive course usually has a shorter duration for learning Spanish quickly, as you attend lessons several times a week and therefore make faster progress with what you want to learn. Intensive courses are available in different versions and frequencies, depending on the language school. As a rule, these Spanish courses take place three to five days a week and last two to six hours a day. This usually means a teaching volume of 10 to 30 hours per week, so that such language course models are also suitable if you want to continue working full-time. In this case, you should of course choose an intensive Spanish course with two lessons every evening so that you don't experience too much stress. However, bear in mind that preparation and follow-up time should also be taken into account so that you can revise what you have learned at home. Can you cope with this time commitment or are you already dreading the thought of having to learn Spanish quickly every day? If the latter is the case, this type of language course is probably less suitable for you. It's best to talk directly to some schools about your wishes and objectives so that together you can find the right language course for you.
