AZ Granada today has a reputation as one of the finest organizations in Spain. This reputation has helped to bring students from all over the world to study Spanish in Granada.

The lessons at AZ Granada are lively and varied. The emphasis is on conversation but, of course, the school also pays attention to grammar, reading, listening and writing. In the classes, the school makes use of overhead projectors, video and other audiovisual materials. To ensure that the lessons are as practical as possible, you will work with newspaper articles and learn how to conduct a telephone conversation in Spanish for example. Films and documentaries will also be viewed, songs will be listened to and menus read. In addition, you will give talks and take part in role-play situations.

Besides offering excellent Spanish language programs, AZ Granada also offers (and or assists in arranging) a variety of interesting cultural activities and weekend excursions allowing student the chance to really get to know Spain.
