In Version Original our language courses are designed according to the particular needs of each individual or group by taking into account both linguistic and intercultural aspects. Once we know their objectives and needs, we see to preparing a suitable programme in order to get the best results, adapting ourselves to the student’s schedule.
Our teachers can move to the student’s working place as well as to any other requested place. |
| Also, we can prepare students for obtaining the Certificate of Business Spanish from the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce and the Zertifikat Deutsch (ZD), Prüfung Wirtschaftsdeutsch International (PWD) and Zertifikat Deutsch für den Beruf. |
1. General Spanish/German
In this type of course we treat every aspect of Spanish/German grammar and culture, by integrating them in a communicative context and by developing the student’s linguistic skills, i.e. we work on speaking, writing, listening and reading.
The student will acquire the linguistic knowledge s/he needs to communicate with a native speaker in standard language, in real situations when speaking about non-specific topics.
Our general Spanish and German courses can also make the transition to the new country for professional reasons easier, not only to the relocated person, but also to his/her family.

We offer all levels from basic communicative needs related to the professional world, to the possibility of carrying out activities which are related to business, economic and commercial Spanish fields from a social and cultural perspective.
3. Spanish/German for Specific Purposes
In this type of course we deal with the linguistic aspects needed to cover the specific needs of each student or group so that they can manage in the foreign language according to their professional activities requirements.
