Our semi-intensive course is aimed at students who want to progress more quickly in learning Spanish while maintaining a balance between intensity and flexibility. It includes 10 lessons of 45 minutes per week and allows you to steadily develop communicative fluency without the demanding pace of an intensive course.

Course description

  • The semi-intensive course is designed for those who want to make continuous progress in Spanish with an intermediate study load.
  • Throughout the course, listening, reading, expression, interaction, grammar and vocabulary are developed through a practical approach focused on real communication.

Teaching hours, timetable and duration

  • Teaching hours: 10 lessons of 45 minutes per week.
  • Timetable: Monday to Friday, between 08:00 and 20:00.
  • Curricular duration: 30 hours per sublevel course from A1 to B2.
  • Minimum enrolment: one week.

The weekly study pace and enrolment duration do not necessarily amount to passing a complete curricular course. To pass the course, you must complete its teaching hours and achieve its learning objectives.

What is included

  • Initial placement test and guidance on joining the course.
  • In-house materials and access to digital resources.
  • Academic monitoring, progress assessment and tutorials.

  • Live online: sessions via Google Meet, with constant interaction between teachers and students.
  • Resources: dynamic digital content and interactive activities to support learning.

Participants

  • Private classes: personalised attention and activities adapted to the student's needs.
  • Group classes: from 2 to 6 students, with participation, interaction and shared learning.

Levels and courses

The level is the target language proficiency. The sublevel courses are the learning units that make it up.

Each sublevel course from A1 to B2 lasts 30 hours. To complete a level, you must pass all the courses that make it up.

The placement test helps determine the right course for you to join. See the level description for the objectives, content, assessment and materials for each course.

Placement test

Before starting, you take a placement test to join the most suitable course and group. You can take it online or book an in-person assessment.

Methodology

The semi-intensive course methodology is based on a dynamic communicative approach, in which grammar is applied to real-life situations and combined with speaking practice and collaborative activities.

Teaching materials

  • Included: in-house materials developed by the teaching team and supplementary digital resources.
  • Not included: reference textbooks, which students must purchase. These are available to buy at the school.

Monitoring and tutorials

  • Continuous monitoring of progress by the teaching staff.
  • Regular assessment: classroom observation and comprehension, expression, interaction and mediation tasks.
  • Tutorials and personalised guidance to answer questions and support learning progress.
  • Passing the course: required attendance, completion of activities and tests, achievement of objectives and an overall pass assessment.

Certificate

  • Details: course taken, teaching hours, dates and result or level of achievement.
  • Minimum attendance: 80 % of classes, alongside compliance with the centre's rules and the course's academic requirements.

Completing a sublevel does not mean completing the entire level. The certificate will only state that the level has been completed once all its constituent courses have been passed. Partial attendance does not constitute passing the full course.

Course certificates are issued by Hablo itself. The progress tests and assessments required to obtain them are internal and created by the teaching team; they are not official DELE or SIELE certification exams.
