A 7-day general Spanish course in Benalmádena, near Málaga for school groups 12–19, with level-matched lessons and full-board residence.
Why this course. General Spanish is a 7-day course on the European Trainee Academy campus in Benalmádena, near Málaga, that gives your school group seven days inside the language. Andalusian Spanish in its natural setting — markets, cafés, beach paths, trip guides — turns vocabulary that lived on a textbook page into something your students actually use. The fastest route from intermediate to confident.
What it covers. Daily lessons calibrated to each student’s level after a Day 1 placement. Mornings work through grammar, vocabulary, listening, and conversation; afternoons take Spanish outside class — guided activities and structured time using the language with locals. The week ends with your students presenting in Spanish to peers and leaders.
How it is run. Your school group — 15 to 32 students, ages 12 to 19 — travels together with its own group leader. Your students sleep at the on-campus residence with full board, supervised by EUTA staff and your travelling leader. One leader place is free for every 15 students. A guided Málaga half-day excursion closes the week (Friday afternoon, after certificates), and a free public-transport card covers local travel throughout.
Daily life in a Spanish coastal town — markets, beaches, Andalusian rhythm — turns the programme into context rather than a side trip.
A week abroad with the group builds the social confidence and self-reliance a classroom can’t — first café orders in another language, first navigating a new town as a team.
Andalusian Spanish in its natural setting — classroom morning, lived afternoon — the most efficient route from intermediate to confident.
Practice Spanish where it’s spoken — at the café, on the bus, in shops and at the beach — not in textbook dialogues.
Day-one placement sorts students by level so beginners are not left behind and stronger students are not held back — every lesson is calibrated to the group it’s in.
The week closes with each project group presenting their work in Spanish to the wider cohort — public-speaking practice in a real audience, with stakes.

EUTA’s training rooms sit inside Benalmádena International College — a gated international-school campus in Nueva Torrequebrada with security, controlled access, and EUTA staff on-site. Where you sleep depends on who you are.
School groups stay on the gated EUTA campus inside Benalmádena International College, where the training rooms, dining hall, and activity spaces all live. 24/7 reception and controlled access, with a dedicated EUTA coordinator on-site for the full week.
All levels, including absolute beginners. On Day 1 students take a short placement task and are grouped by level (typically A1 to B2), so a B1 student is not stuck in an A1 class and a beginner is not lost in an intermediate group. Lessons within each group are calibrated by the teacher across the week.
Your travelling group leader stays with your students throughout the week and is the first contact for anything they need. EUTA staff supervise the on-campus residence, lessons, and trips. One leader place is free for every 15 students booked.

General Spanish is everyday Spanish taught across all four skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — built around real-life situations rather than a single subject. Your students are grouped by level after a Day 1 placement, so beginners and stronger speakers each work at the right pace toward confident, practical Spanish.
