Courses

A Spanish class in the Canary Islands is a great way to learn something and meet people. With a little Castellano under your belt, you’ll be able to better appreciate the local culture.

You can check out the local Yellow Pages for Academias de Idiomas to find private language schools throughout the islands. If you’re looking for a personal tutor, ask at the schools or keep your eyes peeled for adverts offering Spanish classes. Expect to pay around €15 per hour.

It’s worth asking whether your course will lead to any formal certificate of competence. The Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE) is a qualification recognised by Spain’s Ministry of Education and ­Science.
