“ILI helped me find a language school in Spain this year. The school in studied at in Spain was exactly what I was looking for this year!! I am a French teacher who wanted to start learning Spanish and hopefully teach it! I feel it was a great place to get started to do that, I think I accomplished what I wanted to! Malaga is such a beautiful fun city with so many great restaurants, museums, and of course the beach!”

In-country
In-country classes are when you travel overseas to study the language in a country where the language is spoken natively.
Each of our study abroad partner schools in Spain will offer a slightly different range of program formats to choose from, but these are likely to include, as a minimum:
International group classes
This is where one of the big benefits of studying Spanish in Spain becomes clear – your fellow classmates will be native to other countries. The common language in and out of the classroom is Spanish.
Your teachers in Spain will all have learned to teach Spanish using the same methodology – one which lends itself to using Spanish every moment of your time together.
That may seem daunting at first, but because your classes will be at your level of Spanish, you really have nothing to worry about. Even if you’re a complete beginner, your Spanish teacher will make you feel comfortable and confident. And then the fun starts!
Extra private Spanish lessons in Spain
While you will usually attend group classes, it is generally possible to add a handful – maybe 5 or 10 per week – of private Spanish lessons where you’ll pay extra to have your own personal Spanish tutor.
Just like the private Spanish classes we offer at ILI, you’ll be able to use that private time to boost your learning, focus on a troublesome area of language, or prepare for a specific event or situation which can’t be covered easily in a group context.
Spanish + activity & combination courses
Some schools have packaged together their Spanish courses with popular activities, so that each week you take part in activities around your chosen theme, for example:
Spanish Language and Culture programs for over 50s
Spanish Language, Culture & Gastronomy
Spanish + Surfing
Spanish & Business Spanish
If you’re not sure which option is best for you, please contact us and we can discuss this with you.
Our partners will help you with the whole package – everything you need to think about to get you from where you are now, to sitting in a sunny classroom somewhere in Spain, learning Spanish!
We know it can seem like a big leap, which is why we help you with all the moving parts:
Airport transfer (additional fee)
The school can provide a customized airport transfer service for your convenience, ensuring a smooth journey from your arrival at the airport.
Should you require it, they can also arrange transportation back to the airport on the day of your departure.
Accommodations
They’ll advise you on the most popular accommodation options in each location, and they’ll do everything they can to support any special requirements you have.
Our colleagues in each school will then have you complete their forms to book you into the accommodation of your choice. It’s really that easy. Before you leave for Spain, they’ll be in touch with all the contact details you need, along with clear instructions on how to find your accommodation, and travel between the accommodation and the school.
Excursions
One thing is certain, there will always be plenty to do when you’re studying Spanish abroad in Spain. Sure, you’ll have your Spanish lessons each day from Monday to Friday, but that won’t generally take up the whole day, unless you book a very intensive Spanish course.
Most afternoons your chosen Spanish school in Spain will put on activities and excursions for you. Many will be low-key social activities in and around the school, such as city walking tours, film nights and trips to a local bar or restaurant. However there will also be the opportunities to sign up to extra paid excursions – to visit local art galleries and museums, a palace or castle, or other famous monument during the week.
Then on the weekends, there will frequently be full-day excursions to neighbouring cities to consider, maybe a trip to a big soccer match, an exhilarating concert, moving piece of theatre,… you get the idea!
And of course, if all that sounds like too much, these activities are optional. You can kick back, go find a beach or a quiet cafe, and watch the world go by.

When it comes to making arrangements for flights and transportation from the airport to your accommodation, students are responsible for purchasing their flight tickets independently. However, our partner schools often offer the convenience of airport transfers, which can be booked in conjunction with the courses and accommodations. This service simplifies the process of getting from the airport to your destination once you arrive at your study location.
Our students typically travel on their own, accompanied by a partner, friend, or family members. Additionally, our partner schools have the capability to host group trips, and we can assist in organizing these group language travel experiences. However, currently, we do not personally accompany the groups on these trips. Perhaps in the future, we might consider offering such a service as we continue growing!
