Our Method
Our methodology aims at students speaking the foreign language from the very first day of the course.
The system we use is based essentially on the techniques of super-learning and Suggestopedia. Many activities take place away from the school, allowing students to speak and to further develop the material learned throughout the day.
Based on this system, the learning works through all of your senses: street-side posters and ads are perceived visually, while the auditory system teaches the student how people communicate in the streets. Quiet background music accompanies our classroom work. The sense of smell allows the students to perceive the typical scents and aroma of the island food.
By appealing to all of the senses, the students learn without effort, in a relaxed and effective way, five times faster than the traditional method of teaching foreign languages.
Our Philosophy
Our language trainers provide not only the knowledge of a foreign language but also increase the students’ motivation - we are convinced that motivation is one of the most important tools for language learning, since it establishes trust and confidence and promotes enthusiasm.
Likewise, the students are not constantly corrected by our language trainers, because we allow them the freedom to make mistakes. During the first phase of language learning, fluency to us is more important than correct grammar.
By constantly and actively engaging our students in the courses, we turn them into protagonists. Just as a physical education teacher helps to develop and increase physical fitness through targeted exercises, our language trainers prepare our students to express themselves in the foreign language.
Daily Activities
The daily activities feature audiovisual systems, an embedded movie, listening to a centering (relaxation) exercise with images and videos, followed by the visual projection and voice recitation of the phrases and vocabulary from the lesson. All this accompanied by quiet background music.
In addition, students will encounter the hustle and bustle of the Spanish culture during walks through the old town of Palma. They immerse themselves in the jumble of languages and partake in everyday conversations by using their exercise cards - of course always in relation to the previously learned lessons.
This activity has the great advantage that it happens in real life, and the students do not even realize that they speak the learned language after only a short time and are able to communicate with strangers on the street.
The exercises take about half an hour to an hour and are accompanied by the respective course instructor, who is there also to ensure that all words and phrases learned so far are used.
