Spanish and flamenco: the perfect choice!

Our school, Instituto Mediterráneo Sol, offers, in collaboration with one of the most prestigious schools of Flamenco in Granada, a package of Intensive flamenco andSpanish language lessons.

In this way you can learn Spanish and in the meantime enjoy one of the most traditional aspects of Spanish culture. Moreover flamenco classes are taught in the neighborhood of Albayzín adjacent to Sacromonte, the legendary Flamenco’s district full of cuevas. In this place you can appreciate the magnificent view of the City of Granada and the nearby Alhambra.

Clase de flamenco

You can choose between two packages of Intensive flamenco and Spanish language lessons, offered by the Inmsol School. The first one has 2 classes of communicative grammar and 2 classes of vocabulary and conversation, with oral and writing practice, covering the linguistic skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing). In the evening the student will attend a class of flamenco, they will learn some of the basic moves, for example the tangos.

The second possible package has 2 classes of communicative grammar and 2 classes of vocabulary and conversation, with oral and writing practice, covering the linguistic skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing). In the evening are offered Intensive Compás classes. The last one refers most frequently to the clapping accompaniment that is always different depending on the rhythm. Thanks to this course you'll be able to distinguish the techniques of the compás in all of its different forms.

For both you don’t need any previous dance experience or have to buy flamenco shoes!

Activity program at Imsol

At our Spanish school in Granada, Imsol, not only students take Spanish courses to learn and improve their Spanish. Actually we organize daily activities so that students can follow their learning in a more relaxing way.

This week we proposed this program:

 "Niño de las Pinturas"'s Painting

Monday: Guided tour discovering the Graffiti area in Granada. The most known Graffiti painter in Granada is the so called "Niño de las Pinturas", whose paintings decor many walls of the city. His style is unmistakable as well as his details: children, aged people, wheels...

Tuesday: Guided tour to Alhambra with our professional guide, Juan, who every student loves.

Wednesday: Extra lesson of grammar, very useful to review some topics. This week the teacher focused on verbs that need prepositions and adjectives that complete their meanings.

Thursday: Extra lesson about Spanish short movies. This week the teacher prepared a class on two short movies, “Éramos pocos” and “El número”. After watching them students talks about them on the basis of some questions and exercises.

Friday: Movie at school. This week we showed “Los abrazos Rotos” (Broken Embraces, Almodóvar, 2009). Almodóvar is maybe the most known Spanish filmmaker and here at Imsol we almost have all his movies!!

Tomorrow, Saturday, we propose a tour to the Tropical Coast with our guide Juan. In this trip students can visit Almuñécar, Nerja (with the caves) and Frigiliana and have time for a bath and relaxing on the beach.

See you next week with another cultural program!!
