You like to learn more about Dominican culture, traditions, and history?
You are curious to know what is "típico dominicano"?
You want to combine classroom knowledge with real life language practice?
“Spanish & Culture” provides an explicit understanding of the Dominican culture. The course combines a Spanish Group Course Standard of 20 lessons per week with 4 additional lessons of private tuition on various cultural topics (in 2016 2 additional hours) . Students will gain a deeper insight into history, society, and the Dominican way of life.
Classes will usually be taught at IIC. At times, the teacher will also take you onto a "salida pedagogica" outside of school to experience every day Dominican culture and practice your Spanish skills amongst the people on the street.
If there is only 1 student assigned for a group level, the school reserves the right to convert the group course into Private 1-on-1 tuition instead which will result in a 50% reduction of class time.
If there is an official holiday (see list Dates & Prices), IIC will offer for Group Courses an optional 2-hour “Spanish & Culture“-group class for compensation. Private Lessons will continue to be fully rescheduled.
