How the Course Works?
The Intensive Spanish Course at Academia Vamos is divided into Sections, each with 20 hours of classroom time and 10 hours of independent work. Altogether, these Sections add up to the total hours of each CEFR level, ensuring steady progress. At the A1 and A2 levels, the course is organized into 4 Sections of 1 week each (120 hours in total). At the higher levels (B1–C2), the course is structured in 3 Sections, but each Section lasts 2 weeks, keeping the same total hours while adapting to the greater complexity of learning. This modular design helps students progress step by step and develop their language skills clearly and effectively.
