Program Overview

Program Description:

Come to Tenerife and spend a week or two learning Spanish in a beautiful little coastal town in the sunshine. Our classes focus on conversation and the course does not follow your typical classroom based method. You will get out and about around town buying food at the market, asking the locals for directions or buying a coffee in a bar. We have courses of all levels from complete beginners to intermediate level. Our teachers are all highly qualified native speakers with years of experience in teaching.

Our school opened its doors in El Médano in 2013 so has brand new facilities, including comfy, air-conditioned classrooms with the best technology and Spanish resources e.g. ipads and projectors. Our students can also take advantage of our free wifi and our school library which is available for all our students to pick up a Spanish book to read during their stay in Tenerife.The school also has a tea and coffee area so that our Spanish students can chill on our terrace in the square with a café on their break. To achieve our objective, at Bla! you will find only the best quality, native teachers who are approachable, friendly and energetic. We don’t only teach Spanish, we also have English, German and Russian classes for our local residents in Tenerife with classes starting for kids from 3 years old. Our versatile, bilingual team is there to help at all times to make sure you enjoy your time in the south of Tenerife.

Whether you just want a quick introduction to Spanish to get by on your holidays or if you want to immerse yourself in the language, we have the course for you. With classes starting every Monday and the school only a short walk from the beach, cool bars and tasty restaurants, what are you waiting for? Our intensive Spanish courses are offered to three different levels: Beginner, Elementary and Intermediate. These courses can be taken for one week or two weeks and consist of 3 hour classes each morning (with a 15 minute break for a café con leche obviously!). They start every other Monday and will ensure you have all the required dialogue to make the most of your time in Tenerife and beyond. Minimum 3 and maximum 8 students per class.

Setting Description:

El Médano is a small, former fishing village in the south of Tenerife which still retains much of its original charm and hasn’t yet been overrun by tourism. This beautiful bay at the foot of the gorgeous Montaña Roja Nature Reserve has become popular with windsurfers and kite surfers worldwide who come for the excellent conditions. It is also a great location for visiting the island being only 10 minutes from the south airport. You are also only 45 minutes from the capital Santa Cruz or a visit to the north of the island which is rich in culture and traditions. Similarly, if you head straight up the mountain from El Médano, you arrive in Vilaflor (the highest village in Spain) and are right in the heart of the Mount Teide National Park. And if you are more of a party animal, we are only 15 minutes from the wild nightlife of Los Cristianos and Las Americas. This island really does have something for everyone!
