A Spanish course at ACUPARI in Cusco offers not only intensive language training, but also an intercultural experience that can enrich you both personally and professionally.
Our Intensive Spanish Course in Cusco combines 30 hours per week of language training with cultural activities in the afternoons, and is officially recognized as Bildungsurlaub in several German federal states. Take the opportunity to make the most of your educational leave – we are happy to support you throughout the process!
Bildungsurlaub allows employees to take time off from work for the purpose of professional development. Participation in an educational leave program – including foreign language courses – is therefore not deducted from your regular annual vacation allowance.
In many German federal states, employees are entitled to five working days of educational leave per calendar year. The entitlement for two calendar years can be combined to attend a two-week training course.
Our Spanish courses are officially recognized as educational leave programs in several German federal states. Educational leave programs must provide a course schedule of 30 full hours per week.
Our educational leave programs are currently recognized in the following German federal states:
For all other German federal states, we are happy to submit a new application for recognition for your chosen course dates upon request.

Classes take place in the morning from 8:10 a.m. to 12:50 p.m.

"Going to the market in the second week and actually greeting people in Quechua was unforgettable. My teacher was patient and clearly proud to share her language and culture with me."
"The Quechua course exceeded all my expectations. It's not just language — it's living history. Combining it with the Spanish course gave me the perfect foundation to keep up."
"I took the one-to-one option so classes could move at my pace. Twenty hours a week sounds like a lot, but between the village visits and the coffee breaks it never felt like a classroom grind."
