Opis kursu

This course is ideal for you if you like to start learning Spanish or improve your Spanish proficiency together with other students in a group. This course is a half-day course; it still gives you enough leisure time for discovering the country or for just enjoying yourself.

Classes are from Monday till Friday. One lesson is 45 minutes. With that group course you will have 4 lessons a day, usually from 9am till 12:30pm in the morning including a 30-min break. Depending on the amount of different course levels at a time group courses sometimes might take place completely in the afternoon.

Occasionally, it may happen that in a certain week there is only one student signed up on a certain group level. Should there be less than 2 students of the same level enrolled to form a group, the course will not be cancelled but carried out as an individual course with a private teacher 1:1. Thus the school reserves the right to provide the individual course at a reduced number of lessons (usually 50% of the total amount of group lessons).

The school retains the right to determine the timetable of the lessons.

If there is an official holiday (see dates when the school will be closed), IIC offers for Group Courses an optional 2-hour “Spanish & Culture“-group class for compensation. Private Lessons will continue to be fully rescheduled.

Add-on:
In addition to this course, students can book single Spanish Workshops (Add-on Trainings with a private tutor) on various topics at their own interest, learning path and budget, including workshops and field trips on Dominican culture and living. As there are:

Workshop “Cultura Dominicana” (1.5 h) = USD 45.-
Workshop “Conversación & Pronunciación” (1.5 h) = USD 45.-
Workshop “Español Médico” (1.5 h) = USD 45.-
Workshop “Español de Negocios” (1.5 h) = USD 45.-
Educational Field Trip “Típico Dominicano” (2 h) = USD 65.-
Price per Workshop (in addition to weekly Spanish course)

Other SPECIAL PROGRAMS in Sosua:
- Bildungsurlaub
- University Credits
- Spanish & Dancing
- Spanish & Windsurfing
- Spanish & Kite Surfing

"Very nice language school with great teachers and excellent staff"

Martin Müller, formularz ucznia Niemcy

I had 2 weeks of private Spanish classes.
The school is close to the center of Sosua and its beach. But it is in opposite to Sosua an island of relaxation. The staff was always very friendly, offered coffee and were ready for a small chat.
My teacher was great and I could always demand what I wanted to learn that day.
I coming back again!
Thanks a lot!

"It was an experience."

Patricia Wade, formularz ucznia USA

The mandatory pretest to determine ability level was ignored. Teacher told me it didn't measure anything and had me do another test of hers and determined me at a very low level and taught me as such. My level determined by the school's pre-evaluation test had been B1/B2. She was teaching me basic information I already knew, such as conjugating verbs in the present and preterite, and teaching me about pronouns.

The speaking domain was significantly ignored. The teacher spoke the most. After four weeks I received a certificate for level C1, which would be a miracle for the most intelligent person. How was the growth to C1 measured when there was not an exit exam? I did not receive what I paid for, nor what I expected. But, I made the best out of the situation.

Add-on Sept2021: The student is continuing to study Spanish with us online to this day. She passed her exam.

RE Feb2019: Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions and providing your review. We appreciate it and we are very sorry that you have been discontent with your class at our school. Indeed, your pretest did not measure your level adequately and we are sorry for the inconvenience. Since we had been informed that you are on C2-level, we had sent out our advanced test; though when receiving your test last minute the Friday before your course start, we, together with your teacher, then considered it more appropriate to ask you to take our other pretest on a more adequate level on site. Accordingly, along our level system (we work along the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFR), your proficiency level was then determined as completed B1/ entering B2-level, showing selectively already skills and knowledge of B2-level (sic! repetitions of subjunctive present and imperfect as part of your course content).

Regarding the certificate: Towards the end of your program, you started working on course content and materials of the C1-level which, considering your total amount of 120 lessons of class and following our course curriculum, places you on a (starting) C1-level. Our certificates for regular courses are certificates of participation, stating the highest course level a student has been working on along the CEFR, though not stating that a student has completed a certain level. This, of course, would require oral and written testing at the end of class, which we do only on request, e.g. for academic credits, demanding an official transcript.

We are very sorry that you, in the end, felt unprepared for passing an exam you obviously intended to take back home. We would have loved to serve you better. As explained to your agency prior to your booking, we do only DELE exam preparations; these follow a completely different curriculum and testing method, and are available in private tuition only. We do not prepare for other national nor international Spanish exams, in particular not in open group classes as in your course. Though, if we can support you in the further enhancement of your conversational skills, we are still gladly offering you the possibility to continue working with our professional, native-speaking teachers in online skype conversations.

"The teachers were fabulous!! I learned a lot and had an incredible time. Great people."

Shelah Shackelford, formularz ucznia USA

The classes and teachers were phenomenal! Super engaging and kind. Location was spot on- perfect. Walking distance from the beach, restaurants, grocery shopping, and public transportation.
The facilities were decent but could use some upgrading if possible.
The activities were fabulous and very enjoyable. The housing was livable but could also use updating. (Mentioned bed in other message.

"Great School"

Hulda Pétursdóttir, formularz ucznia Islandia

I started out in a group of three people and then went to a private class.
The staff is very nice and accommodating and the excursions that are offered to us are fun.
I don't regret my money what so ever and I'd recommend this school to anyone.

¡Muchas gracias! Thank you very much for your kind review and are glad that you enjoy being with us - as we enjoy having you!

"Professional teachers, classes outdoors in beautiful surroundings, great and various activitys and excursions - excellent for people travelling alone."

Line Wickman, formularz ucznia Norwegia

I had an exellent time here. I did not stay at the apartmens here, but they are really nice. I travelled alone, and met alot of new, interesting people at school. They arrange many excursions which you can choose to participate. This was at great help to see and enjoy nice attractions and places in the area. You can also ask if there's something you would like to do or see, and they will help you.

The school is situated in a beautiful area in Sosúa. I had classes outdoors, with a beautiful view over the green garden.

The classes were simply great. I had a highly qualified teacher for two weeks. He is very professional, with a great sense of humour and a great personality. He quickly evaluates your level of Spanish, and keeps doing so during your classes to adapt his classes for you to learn the best way possible. He uses a big repertoire of pedagogic tools/activities to make variations in class and for you to practice and learn in different ways. The most interesting part for me where the times when we just talked and discussed topics that came up, and new impressions of the Dominican culture - this was a great way to learn more about the country and the people as well as the Spanish language.

I highly recommend this school!

"Very organized and comprehensive"

Elizabeth Barlow, formularz ucznia USA

Teaching was intense and still fun. School totally took care us--from hotel accommodations to excursions to see the country including seeing whales in Samana! There was great camaraderie among the students from many different countries. In class, our assignments and homework were to write about
ourselves, our country's food, holidays etc. We really wanted to share ourselves and learn about the other students.
It was not boring at all! I learned a lot of Spanish. There was nothing I didn't like and I plan on going back next year.

"Learning Spanish in Sosua with a wonderful teacher - Sheilla"

Angela Conchita Isla, formularz ucznia USA

IIC is located in the perfect area of Sosua. It is very convenient to the airport in Puerto Plata, local beaches along with the beaches in nearby cities, shopping and restaurants, and different types of transit services. The grounds are very nice and are in the local architectural style of the Republíca Dominicana. The housing is fair but could use updating and some repairs.

The administration, although extremely nice and helpful, could do a much better job in providing necessary information regarding local services at the very beginning, making certain that fixtures and equipment are working properly, and having more choices of low to moderate priced activities planned.

I liked both of my professors who were well-qualified. My 2nd professor, Sheilla, was amazing. She used a variety of teaching styles to meet the needs of everyone. Although I ended up being very pleased with Sheilla, I felt that my first week with a different teacher with a very different style of teaching was not very beneficial which made me feel like I did not get a full 3 weeks of studies. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I also think that I would have enjoyed learning w/ a more diverse group but overall the other students were nice. Also, I made some wonderful friendships which I am sure will last a lifetime and we will continue to help each other with Spanish.

Overall, I enjoyed IIC, and I am very happy with my Spanish Immersion experience with them.

Thanks much.

Hola Angela, thank you so very much for taking the time to give us your feedback also in this review. We are glad that you enjoyed your program with us at IIC and we appreciate your suggestions. This will help us to further improve our services, e.g. as we now provide information on the leisure program and possible independent activities through different channels on site. Infrastructure still is a challenge in our country, but it is improving as well step by step. We truly enjoyed having you here with us and hope to welcome you again soon. Saludos cordiales from the whole IIC/Casa Goethe team - ¡hasta luego!

"Great Time in Sosua, DR."

Valentin Hopf, formularz ucznia Niemcy

I really enjoyed my stay there. Had a great time. My teacher was just brilliant, a lovely nice person, including teaching skills and really fitted into this work. The school's student adviser was also very nice and helpful in some orientation and other stuff. Classrooms were okay, the furnishing was a little bad, just plastic chairs, etc. The location and facilities overall were very good and clean. And it's really a beautiful place! That's it.
