Spanish courses

ACUPARI offers all levels of Spanish courses, whether you are a beginner or already an advanced speaker. There are group or private classes at a standard level or a more intense level. We also offer specialized Spanish courses on an individual basis in such areas as business or medical Spanish. All of our courses immerse you, in Spanish conversation, so right from the beginning you are speaking Spanish. What ever your need, at ACUPARI you will find your Spanish course. To enhance your spanish immersion experience why not stay with a host family!
Quechua classes

Quechua is primarily a spoken language and difficult to approach with traditional and academic methods. For this reason only part of ACUPARI Quechua classes take place in the classroom and only in one-on-one classes. Important is the conversation and being together with the Native Quechua speaker in their social environment. Our Quechua learners go with their teachers to visit markets and village communities to practice by direct communication. A prerequisite is good knowledge of Spanish.
A Tandem partner can also be arranged for Quechua students. Students can also stay with a host family!

DELE Preparation:
At Acupari you can prepare for all three levels of the DELE (Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language) exams and diploma. The DELE is recognized by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of Spain. Additional, the DELE diploma is an official certificate with an international reputation. They are recognized internationally by private companies, chambers of commerce and public and private educational systems.
The DELEs are divided into three levels depending on the language competence:
Beginner level
Students at this level have sufficient knowledge of the language to allow control in basic situations which require an elementary use of the language. This certified DELE level is an equivalent of the level B1 of the European Framework of Reference.

Intermediate level
Students at this level have the necessary knowledge of the language to allow communication in everyday situations which do not require specialized terms (e.g. technical terms). This certified DELE level is an equivalent of the level B2 of the European Framework of Reference.

Superior level
Students at this level have an advanced knowledge of the language allowing communication in all situations requiring superior use of the language and cultural background of the language. This certified DELE level is an equivalent of the level C1-C2 of the European Framework of Reference.

 
The D.E.L.E. exams are offered twice a year, in May and November, and can be taken in Lima at the following locations. If you are interested in taking your exam in Lima, please contact either of the universities below to find out the exact dates and to register.

Class size: Mini-group or One-on-one?

Our Spanish courses only, can be done in mini-groups with a minimum of two to a maximum of six students, with a similar level of proficiency*. This, however, is not always possible. If we do not have a group according to your level of proficiency we offer you 12 hours of one-on-one classes instead of 20 hours of classes in a mini-group.

* based on the results of the placement test taken on your first day.

Spanish and Quechua courses can be done on a one-to-one basis. One-on-one classes offer flexibility and are tailored to your individual requirements in every regard. You yourself can determine content and rhythm of learning, be it more conversation or more grammar, vocabulary related to a specific field of interest or everyday speech, our teachers are quick to realize how they can best serve your needs. You also can decide your hours.

Class hours: Standard or Intensive?
You can choose either our 4 hour per day Standard program or our 6 hour per day Intensive program. The advantage of our programs is that each period is taught by a different teacher offering you diversity of style in the classroom. If you opt for the Standard program, you will enjoy 2 different teachers during the week. If you are looking for more intense study, opt for the Intensive program, with up to 3 teachers during the week.

Tandem®

Something really special at ACUPARI is our Tandem® program. Right on your second day of classes we introduce you to a Peruvian who is studying your language: your Tandem® conversation partner. Apart from your classroom time, you and your tandem partner are going to converse in, both Spanish and your maternal language, not in the environments of a language institute but on the way, walking the city, in a museum, on excursions, etc. You and your tandem partner will also go to the market, to see the different types of fruits, what is going on in a typical market setting and much more of what you would hardly learn when coming to Cusco as a regular tourist. So that you and your tandem partner both benefit from the tandem, the time will be divided so that half the time you are practicing Spanish and half the time your maternal language. Read more about Tandem® Conversation Practice.

... and the teachers?

To provide the highest quality in the classroom, our teaching team is made up of eight permanently employed Spanish teachers, who are highly qualified and undergo continuous training. In cooperation with the Argentinean Association of Spanish Teachers ACUPARI has financed an additional qualification training that is a prerequisite for teaching at ACUPARI. Even though the predominant language in the classroom is Spanish, some of the feedback we have received underlines that our teachers’ knowledge of English has been especially helpful.

The materials we use

Be it one-on-one classes or mini-groups, we work with interactive and diverse methods. Our team of qualified professional teachers has compiled their own textbook and resources for the basic level. For all other levels we have a large variety of textbooks and resources which are adapted to the individual interests and previous knowledge and level of the learner.

In addition to that you can borrow books in our library that has readings and literature in Spanish, with a difficulty level ranging from simple to medium.
