Spanish Lessons
L

Our Spanish School has two
locations.
SB Cusco
The principal school is located
in the historical and artistic center of Inca’s capital Cusco in
Peru. The school is situated on Calle Tandapata N°688—Plazoleta
(little square) San Blas. The school can easily be found, about 7
minutes from the main square |
|
According
to your level
learn to face daily practical
situations using our language without fear. The lessons therefore are
given in Spanish by native speakers. That's also why we offer you
a family stay, voluntary work possibilities and an opportunity for
language exchange with local university students.
You’ll receive Spanish lessons
according to your current level. By giving you an assessment
examination, both oral and written, we test your current level.
Weekly examinations are offered to measure your progress. |

If you want to study more than
one week you can choose between group or individual classes. |
|

|
Group classes
are
given to a maximum of 4 persons, to ensure individual attention
as well as the positive aspects of group interaction. The persons in the
group must have the same Spanish proficiency.*
Group classes are normally 4 hours a day.**
In the morning from 8:30 to
12:50, with a break from 10:50 to 12:50 or
In the afternoon from 14:30 to
18:50, with a break from 16:30 to 16:50. |
|
Normally the first 2 hours of the group class consists of grammar
lessons, the second two hours consists of practice lessons, such as
conversation, listening, reading and writing. The teachers use different
teaching methods such as audio – visual materials, games, etc.
* Group classes normally start
on Mondays. If there aren't any persons with the same level of Spanish,
you receive individual classes, according to the group structure, for
the price of group classes.
** An hour of classes is 60 minutes. |
|
Individual classes
are more flexible, you
can take 2 hours a day or more. The classes will be tailor-made
according to your wishes. Individual lessons are a good option;
- If you only have 1 week of time and your a beginner. Then you can best
take individual lessons and focus on usefull conversation skills.
- If you want a review of different grammar items
- If there is a big difference between your oral and your written level
- If you are a professional and you want to learn specific
vocabulary related to your occupation, such as a technician or medic.
We also teach Spanish to children from 9 to 15 years old in a
special and individual way, using plays, drawings and fairy tales.

|
Apart from individual and group
lessons you can take semi-individual lessons or combine individual and
group lessons.
Semi-individual
lessons are possible if you are with a group of friends (maximium
4), who have the same level. You then can agree on how many hours you
would like to study and on a focus, like you would in individual
lessons. These lessons are called semi-individual lessons.
A combination of group classes
and individual classes, is possible. For example;
- the first 2 weeks in a group and the second 2 weeks individual.
- or in the morning 4 hours of group lessons and in the afternoon 2
hours of individual lessons.
Students can decide every week
which type of lessons fits best their needs. |

Our tour to
the islands on Lake Titicaca was a
wonderful day. We had great weather and the people that we met
were very friendly. The island of Taguile was a beautiful little
paradise. The hotel in Puno was very good, with a great
breakfast. It is too bad we could only stay one night. We kept
the room for the second night so that we could freshen up before
going on the bus to Cusco Peru.
Thank you for everything that you have done to make our trip so
enjoyable. Please pass along to Christi our thanks for the great
job that she did in organizing our tour. She was able to
assemble an itinerary that included everything that we asked for
and still was not too rushed. It was an enjoyable, informative
and relaxing time.
Thank you again to all of the staff at
Peru travel Gateway
and your suppliers for making this a wonderful experience.

We had a very nice trip to Peru.
Thanks for you help. Our hotels in Peru
were what we expected, very nice and the hotel help went out of
their way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed.
Our guides were outstanding. Always on time and catered to our
needs. Our groups were small except for the Sacred Valley tour where
we had 25 members. Food was plentiful and tasty at each restaurant.
The Hotel Casa Andina in Cusco gave us an upgrade when we returned
from MP which was very nice. Also, the Radisson gave us an upgrade
when we returned to Lima although we stayed only 6 hours.
Again, thanks for your services. I feel very fortunate that I
selected your travel services, because of the services. Several on
the trip thought I was mighty brave to select an unknown agency. I
was impressed with Ivan during our first emails and phone
conversations. I trusted him and he trusted me, this makes for happy
results for everyone.
Sincerely, Mary Earp.

I just returned back to the US from my trip to Peru. I wanted to let
you know how grateful I am for the wonderful experience that you
help me coordinate and plan. I loved all of the sites and felt I had
a unique experience that I will never forget.
The tour planners and the tour
guides were all wonderful and extremely helpful. Each of them were
very polite and knowledgable about their subjects and locations. I
learned alot about Peru and its customs.
The hotel on Machu Picchu (Sanctuary Lodge) and the hotel in Puno
(The Libertador) were excellent and I would recommend anyone to stay
in each of those locations. The San Augustin El Dorado was just
adequate; I found the hotel to be clean and the staff helpful, but
there is too much noise during the evening and mornings; this is
because many of the rooms overlook the central lobby of the hotel
and the acoustics create echos of sound from the front desk and
those people having conversations in the lobby area. Also, the space
heaters in each of the El Dorado rooms I stayed in did not work at
all. I do not think I would recommend the hotel to people unless
they didn't mind a noisy atmosphere.
The Posada del Inca hotel in Bolivia was very nice; I really liked
the rustic feel and intimate setting and the private gardens--the
views of Lake Titicaca and the mountains were spectacular. Although
I didn't realize it would be a hike (literally) up to it. One of the
couples I was travelling with on the first day in Bolivia had
trouble making it up the hillside (they didn't know they would have
to hike to the top to get to the hotel). I would recommend letting
potential guests know that it is a 40 - 45 minute hike from the dock
to the hotel itself. The guides were very helpful and it was good
that our luggage was carried up separately.
The trip was amazing and I just wanted to thank you for all of your
planning. I would recommend you and your staff to everyone I know
who wanted to plan a trip to go to Peru.
Have a wonderful new year!
Regards,
Wendy
