Lifelong Learning at University – a Fantastic Opportunity at a Spanish University, Universidad Pablo de Olavide

Lifelong Learning at University – a Fantastic Opportunity at a Spanish University

These are courses for students who wish to learn their language in a university setting. There does tend to be more rigour in these courses and a faster pace than those in Adult Education Centres, so they are not for the faint-hearted.
The programme lasts from Monday to Friday over two weeks and covers:-
Spanish Grammar and Practice
Writing and Comprehension
Oral Expression and Comprehension.
Options are:-
Spanish Pronunciation Workshop
Spanish for Cinema
Spanish for Business
Preparation for the DELE exam
Shorter one-week courses are also available.
A distinct advantage of these courses is that you are in the country whose language you are learning. You have the option of staying with a Spanish host family – very good value at €600 for a month or €150 a week. This is bound to add to the experience. But wherever you pick your accommodation – whether with a host family, in the university residences or in a local hotel, it’s certainly not a bad place to study. The university is situated in the beautiful city of Seville.
