The second floor of the building contains the student residence. All teachers are specialists in teaching foreigners. Their experience, motivation and confidence make learning a real pleasure. A communicative method is used to teach the students Spanish. This allows the student to feel confident in all situations by emphasizing the practical use of the language.
