Learning a language is one of the best investments you can make. Learning Spanish means opening the doors to a culture of approximately 400 million people in the world who speak Spanish as their native language. One thing is to learn the words and the grammar to express yourself but as so often is the case, it makes a lot more sense when you can learn the context of the language as well.
That is why Babylon Idiomas organizes a so called culture class every day in its schools in Spain to share with you typical traits of the Spanish world to help you better understand the Spanish culture. Of course, not only will you learn new things, the culture classes also offer you a great way to practice your oral comprehension. Even absolute beginners will benefit from being exposed to a structured class and build their vocabulary.
Culture classes can either take the form of lectures or can be activity based. Examples of lectures are “The history of Spain in the civil war”, “The road to Santiago”, “Architecture in Barcelona”, “The Roman influences in Spain” etc. Activity based culture classes can consist of dance classes (salsa, sevillanas), wine tasting or an excursion. These classes will really help you build a better understanding of the Spanish culture and aid your Spanish learning curve.
The time table of these classes is typically early in the morning (08:00-09:00) or in the late afternoon (19:00-20:00). Please note that culture classes are included with all Spanish courses with the exception of the Intensive 20 course. They are included with the Intensive 20+5 courses (the 5 referring to the daily extra classes).
The culture class programme is displayed in every school to give you an overview of the different lectures and activities that are planned. Feel free to talk to your teacher if a certain topic interests you that you see not covered yet. Your input and feedback are vital to us to keep our Spanish culture classes fresh and interesting.
