About Us
High level teaching
.
Our teaching takes place at the highest level. We have been teaching Spanish as a foreign language for 30 years. Our language school is regularly audited and certified by the Instituto Cervantes. We place particular emphasis on promoting individual communication skills. The learning atmosphere is, despite all professionalism, very warm, a prerequisite for learning confidently and without inhibitions.
The location of the language school in Conil
.
The Atlantic coast with 15 kilometres of fine, clean sandy beach is right on the doorstep. Conil has a very beautiful, original town centre, which dates back to the time of the Reconquista. The historic cities of Cadiz, Jerez and Seville, as well as Gibraltar and Africa, are all nearby. Spanish is the only language spoken almost everywhere in the town.
Dream climate and great hospitality
Andalusia earns the name “Costa de la Luz” with an incomparable light shining from a sunny sky on an average of 300 days a year. There can be no serious doubt that this beautiful climate positively influences the character of the people. The cheerful, open and friendly nature of our people contributes greatly to making the students’ stay an enjoyable experience.
Individual attention is paramount
.
Throughout our 30 years of teaching, we have not slackened in our commitment to providing each student with complete personal and individual attention. It starts with advice on finding the right course, accommodation and cheap flights. Once in Conil, the school management, among others, personally takes care of all the needs of our guests on a daily basis.
Quality of accommodation
.
You can stay very comfortably in flats belonging to the school, alone or with several people. Alternatively we can arrange private flats, houses or host families, these are generally close to the centre of Conil. Shops, bars, supermarkets and above all the wonderful beach are only a few minutes’ walk away.
Leisure for all tastes
.
At Atlántika we offer activities that complement the lessons and promote Spanish speaking. There are cultural events of all kinds, gastronomic explorations as well as cooking and fiestas together, excursions, trips to the surrounding areas on foot or by bike, Spanish films watched together, lectures and much more. Sporting activities are possible in many forms: surfing, kiting, playing tennis or golf, cycling or hiking.
TEACHING WITH FANTASY AND FEELING
We have a fantastic team of younger and older teachers! All of them speak Spanish as their mother tongue. They have both an academic degree and a pedagogical qualification and regularly undergo further training. As everyone knows, however, that alone does not make a good teacher. A language course is only really successful when the lessons are taught with a lot of fun, wit and
inventiveness, and when the teachers know how to get all course participants to speak freely and without inhibitions. We are happy that we succeed in doing just that time and again. Our teachers can inspire and animate their students with their heartfelt manner and that is above all why our teaching methods have such great success!
In addition to individual travellers, many high schools, adult education centres and technical colleges visit us regularly. Many have been coming to Conil regularly for more than 10 years. Some feedback from group leaders can be found here. | |
