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.
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.
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.
| Level (CEFR) | Class hours | Self-study | Total | Sections | Estimated duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 40 h | 80 h | 120 h | 4 × 1 wk | 4 weeks · 1 month |
| A2 | 40 h | 80 h | 120 h | 4 × 1 wk | 4 weeks · 1 month |

What students say
Outstanding program. Great teachers: knowledgeable and very helpful. Fun extra curricula activities to encourage interaction in Spanish and Lots of flexibility in terms of scheduling.
Although i had a little knowledge of Spanish at 72 I thought it was too late to learn and speak a language. Vamos proved me wrong. After several weeks in the school i was able to have limited communication with the locals..The school gave me confidence to use my Spanish. The teachers are excellent and friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending Vamos as a school to learn or improve your Spanish.
I have been taking classes at Vamos since I moved to Malaga. The school is in a great location in Malagueta, and the flexibility of the lessons has been hugely helpful for me while juggling various things. Everyone that works at Vamos is incredibly helpful and lovely, and I've had great experiences with 2 teachers, Irene and Natalia. They both have given the right amount of personal attention to help me improve conversationally in real time while also going through the courses. Highly recommend.
