Learning a language is much more than studing its formal structure, it is also about using the appropriate register in any given situation. To become adept at this, it is essential to understand and have a knowledge of the culture of those that speak it.To achieve this, ACTUAL PLUS offers several courses ( theoretical and practical) and other complementary cultural activities such as the cinema, workshops on important aspects of communication (gestures, writing…), a wine tasting course, etc. All these things will help you gain a more in-depth understanding of the culture and customs of the country. To enable you to discover other places, Actual Plus Spanish Language Department organizes half-day, full day or weekend trips on Saturdays and/or Sundays. |
