This extensive course has been designed for you to learn the language even if you don’t have much time during the week; this is generally the case for Au Pairs, who usually work around 30 hours a week taking care of a Spanish family’s children, and have only 1 or 2 free days a week. If you work as a babysitter in the afternoons, then you have free time in the mornings to attend lessons to improve your Spanish skills.
In these classes you will work on all the aspects of the Spanish language such as pronunciation, grammar, conversation, and vocabulary, among others. Tandem Madrid focuses on real-life situations which you might encounter such us talking with children or their parents. The program offers everything necessary for you to reach the level of proficiency you need for your duties as an Au Pair, and it will complete the learning you’ve naturally obtained by living and talking with the family members you work for in Madrid.
This program consists of 4 classes a week of 45 minutes each, 2 days a week and it is not limited just to Au Pairs. Erasmus or other international exchange students and other people who don’t have much time to learn Spanish during the week will also find a good ally in this course, since allows them to combine their job and studies with flexible and efficient Spanish classes. This will help them easily integrate into the city and with the Spanish people of Madrid.
This program offers basic knowledge of the language, which is fundamental for any foreign student. Additionally, apart from in-class teaching in small groups of 5 to 12 students, there will be culturally immersive activities such as visiting museums, sampling Spanish cuisine, touring historically emblematic streets and buildings of Madrid including UNESCO World Heritage sites, and nights out on the town for you to fully experience this world famous city.
The ‘Spanish Course for Au Pairs’ and Erasmus admits students with any level of Spanish knowledge and offers individualized and free proficiency-level tests so we can correctly place you.
