Espanole International House Валенсия

It is a wonderful opportunity for students to fully immerse themselves in Spanish life. Students are welcomed into the homes of our Spanish hosts as a member of the family. In return they assist with childcare, help with light housework and teach the children of the house their native language or English. The programme includes 12 weeks of Spanish Intensive 20 course that can be extended.

Normally the Spanish lessons are in the morning and the working time is in the afternoon and evening. Our packaged course consists of 12 weeks of Spanish classes alongside your Demipair work.

Demi pairs will work 20 hours per week plus one night babysitting.

Free days: Two full free days per week (either during the week or at the weekend but at least once a month a Sunday will be free).

Demi pairs will have their own bedroom and will be given full board and some pocket money in return for their help in the house.

Normally Spanish families invite a foreign student to live with them because they want their children to learn and practice a second language. However they fully understand that the aim of the programme for the Demi pair is to learn and practice Spanish. In order to do this, they will make sure there’s a lot of Spanish speaking time. The normal routine is for the Demi pair to speak English or another language with the children and Spanish with the parents.

The course is intended for students from foreign educational systems with which Spain has homologation agreements making their qualifications compatible, who have completed upper secondary school up to the Spanish Bachillerato level (pre-university course) in their countries.

Minimum level of Spanish - B1 (as requested by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). You can do Intensive Spanish course with us before the academic preparation course starts.

Students choose their subjects depending on the requirements of their preferred university and we speak individually with every student before starting the academic preparation course.

Course lasts approximately 30 weeks and has a fixed price; it is not possible to choose the duration of University Pathway.

The exams take place during the last week of the course. Your academic coordinator will help you to sign up for your exams; exam fees and paperwork costs are not included in the price of the course.
