Study plan · Semi-intensive Spanish in Málaga
Semi-intensive course
Ten hours of class a week (2 hours a day, Monday to Friday), in small groups and at a steady pace that fits around work, study or life in Málaga. You choose your track, grammar or conversation, and move from A1 to C2 with a plan aligned with the CEFR and the Instituto Cervantes Curricular Plan.
From A1 to C2: 10 h of class/wk 32 weeks · 8 months 320 h of class 980 h total study CEFR · PCIC
Two tracks, one course
The semi-intensive lets you choose your focus, grammar or conversation, Monday to Friday in small groups. One track builds precise, solid structures; the other builds fluency and confidence. Both include supervised independent work.
Track 1 · mornings
Grammar
9:30 to 11:30, two full hours (120 minutes of class). For precision: you work morphosyntax, verb tenses and connectors in depth, with application exercises and guided writing.
Track 2 · midday
Conversation & Practical
12:00 to 13:30, two academic hours of 45 minutes (90 minutes of class). For fluency: debates, role-plays and real-life simulations, so you gain confidence to speak naturally and adapt your register.
Academic progression
Each level is split into sections: at A1 and A2 each section lasts one week, and from B1 onwards two weeks. At 10 hours a week, the full A1 to C2 path adds up to 320 hours of class plus 660 hours of supervised independent study, 980 hours in total, over 32 weeks (8 months). That sits squarely within the 900 to 1,000 hours the Instituto Cervantes recommends for the complete path.
