In parallel, students may attend courses or activities in areas as different as football, photography, painting, music or systems, which will facilitate contact with native Spanish-speakers, and hence, immersion in the language and reinforcement of what has been learnt during classes. Depending on their level of Spanish, students may take classes of professional interest in any of the programs offered by the University. The Spanish courses start every day of the year except for national holidays which fall on Mondays. The size of the group is usually 5-10 students, to facilitate learning.
