About Entrelenguas - Ronda
Based in the heart of Andalusia, just a short bus-ride from Malaga, Entrelenguas is no run-of the mill Spanish language school! We’re a cultural hub: fusing education, tourism and culture to offer outstanding Spanish courses and unique activities for travellers.
What sets us apart from the crowd is our dedication to immersing travellers in our local community. Entrelenguas organises a whole host of events from sunset picnics to concerts in our vineyard (check out the video section!) attended by both travellers and locals alike. What better a way to experience a place than by surrounding yourself in its culture, whilst rubbing shoulders with the people who call it home? Some of the most important learning takes place outside of the classroom, and your stay in Ronda will provide you with ample opportunity to practise Spanish in authentic contexts!
All of our courses are taught by university-qualified native teachers and follow the guidelines set by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. We employ a communicative methodology and believe in having small, focused groups, with no more than 8 students per class. In this way, we create a relaxed environment where everyone can learn together and have fun.

VOLUNTEERING PROGRAMME
Our volunteering programme is aimed at students of Spanish who are interested in helping the local community, whilst practising their Spanish in an authentic and real environment. We work with various associations and businesses whose fields include the environment, education, social work and wine production. Participants have a great choice of volunteering experience: working in allotments, local nursery schools, and even organic vineyards (with tasks ranging from working the land to bottling the wine), and collaborating with associations such as the Red Cross or Proyecto Hombre. Students volunteer for a minimum of 10 hours per week. Entrelenguas may recommend a particular organisation depending on the student’s level of Spanish, as in order to fully benefit and contribute to certain programmes a certain level of Spanish is required.
The programme is of course supplemented with a formal academic component, comprising of group lessons (2 sessions of 90 minutes per week) and individual lessons (3 hours of one-to-one lessons per week.)
In line with this philosophy of giving back to the local community and ensuring total immersion, students stay with host families in Ronda on a full-board basis (breakfast, lunch and dinner is provided.)

UNIVERSITY STUDENT SUMMER PROGRAMME
9TH – 27TH JULY 2018
This summer program offers the best opportunity to learn Spanish and connect with the local community through different activities and events, trips around Andalusia and intensive Spanish classes with brilliant, native teachers. Experience three unforgettable weeks of deep cultural enrichment and personal development and as you get to know our City of Dreams.
The program includes a total of 60 hours of group Spanish lessons: four hours per day, five days a week. Remember that all of our courses are taught by native and university-qualified teachers, following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). All learning resources and materials are included.
Here at Entrelenguas we like to relax and have fun, and with this in mind we organize loads of different activities and events to complement the work you do in class, so you can use Spanish in a real context. Activities include hiking, canyoning, BBQs, wine tastings, movie nights, and more!
And although the program is based in Ronda, we couldn't miss out on a couple of day trips! Exploring different towns will mean you leave Andalusia with a more comprehensive view of our region.
1. Granada: This fascinating university town breathes mystery in its very being! We’ll visit the Alhambra and meander through the narrow streets of Albaycín with a local guide. They’ll explain everything there is to know about the city which has become a centre of art and culture in Andalusia!
2. Bolonia (Cádiz): In summer we carry the (not so!) arduous burden of being obliged to enjoy the sun and the coast! We’ll take you to one of the best beaches the ‘Costa de la Luz’ has to offer, for a fun-filled day spent chilling and out and munching the magnificent food so typical to our region!

This type of accommodation is run on a half-board basis. We can also offer accommodation in shared apartments (with locals and / or other students in the school) or individual apartments.
