Instituto Mediterráneo Sol was established in 1993 in the beautiful city of the Alhambra, which is considered one of the Wonders of the World. The geographic location of Granada is privileged, because it is only 30 minutes far from the natural park of Sierra Nevada and its winter ski resort, and only 45 minutes by car far from the Costa Tropical.
Our Spanish school is in the very city centre, in the unique quarter of El Realejo, less than 5 minutes walking from Puerta Real, the Cathedral, Gran Via de Colón, theatres, hotels, restaurants, shops, etc. To sum up, you will be able to learn Spanish in one of the most historic quarters of Granada and at a stone's throw from the heart of the city, surrounded by all the facilities and comforts.
Instituto Mediterráneo Sol (Accredited Teaching Centre by Instituto Cervantes) has five classrooms fully-equipped for the study of Spanish with TV, video, DVD and all the necessary audio and CD equipment. All these devices plus the small group size (maximum 8 students per class) create a very familiar atmosphere and a personal treatment, which makes the learning of Spanish more natural and effective.
The teaching is carried out only in Spanish and without using any other language, developing a direct, situational and communicative method and looking for mental associations between the concept and the word in Spanish.
Vocabulary and grammar are studied in a contextual way, placing particular emphasis on the students' participation both in the oral and in the written production. Teachers use exercises on the different grammatical structures, dictations, readings paying special attention to the phonetics and pronunciation, etc. creating controlled and free conversation, always with the teacher's corrections. Every programme has been worked out following the directives of the European Common Reference Framework for Languages (Council of Europe) and the Curricula Plan of the Cervantes Institute.
Before starting the Spanish lessons participants will undergo the Instituto Mediterráneo Sol "placement or language test". As the classes are structured in blocks depending on the number of lessons of the course, one more grammatical and others more of oral production, there could be the possibility of differentiating the levels between both parts. Therefore participants could join two different groups depending on their levels of Spanish grammar and Spanish conversation and vocabulary.
Every week, groups (levels) will be "open" until Tuesday. There is the possibility of changing group if both the teacher and the head of Studies consider it necessary and/or convenient.
iNMSOL has partnerships with the following universities and colleges in Spain. You can gain full or conditional acceptance into one of these institutions.
The nationality and age mix at Instituto Mediterráneo Sol varies over different time periods, courses and levels. Throughout the year, the average age is 24. In the summer, the average age is 24.

Teachers were all very friendly.
Location central and facilities fine.
activities and housing not applicable.
nothing that was disliked.
It was a very interesting experience for me and I learned a lot with
My spanish teacher).
The group was only 6 people. We could talk freely and the teacher was available to answer the little things
We had understood each other.
The courses are a mixture of conjugation and vocabulary and also of oral expression about our life or current affairs.
My boyfriend, who is a Spaniard, saw a difference in my level after the week of courses.
¡Hola Florine! Hemos leído tu review en la web de Language International... ¡muchísimas gracias por tus bonitas palabras! Nos será de gran ayuda. Y la verdad es que tú has dejado muy buen recuerdo como estudiante aquí, súper simpática, ¡te deseamos lo mejor! Un fuerte saludo y que sigas practicando español ^^.
The experience was really wonderful. The staff was welcoming and the teaching was excellent. I've been privileged to learn in some of the best academic institutions in the US, and I can tell you that the methods that were used by Antonio (our professor) were as good or better than anything I've experienced before. It was an extremely positive experience and one I look forward to doing again. Moreover, my daughters enjoyed it and learned from it. If you want to advance your Spanish in a wonderful city, go to Granada and study with the Instituto Mediterraneo Sol!
The location is very central in Granada, right in the city center, so you are surrounded by history and the beautiful mountains. Just perfect!
Dear Matt, thank you so much for your words! You just made our day! It was wonderful to meet you and your daughters. You could see that you all were willing to learn Spanish and getting the most of this experience. I wanted to say thank you in the name of the staff and teachers. We really hope to see you in the future again! All the best.
Everything is excellent. The best school in Spain. The teacher is very active and helpfully.

We had only two students in the class, so it was almost like having private education. Our teacher was very nice and understanding. He was very warm and always asked if we had any difficulties with the language. For him it was very important that we understood everything in the class. He’s the best teacher I have ever had.
The school is in the middle of town, in the center, so everything is near. Also, the family lived near the school; their house was only two minutes from the school. The landlady was nice and friendly too. My room was very comfortable and big.
I have a friend in Granada, and this was my second visit there, so I did not participate in much of the activities of the school.
Thanks a lot for your lovely words, Tarja!! You've been an excellent student, and we hope to meet you again soon! Best regards from your teacher and the rest of the team, and happy New Year!
I had a fantastic time at Imsol and my Spanish improved beyond what I had hoped for for the short time that I spent there. Thanks to a fantastic teacher Mara and the helping hand of all the staff at the office. Everyone there seems to have the same goal and to improve the students and be a part of the whole team. It really shines through.
Sincerely
Hlynur Jónasson
It was very interesting for me to have grammar and culture classes. Also, what I liked more about this experience was the creativity and professionalism of teachers. Moreover, it was a good opportunity for me to meet teachers from all over Europe. I learned and discovered more about Spanish culture and Andalousian Culture. Teachers are very professional and the team is very helpful and pleasant. I recommend this school and I hope I will have the opportunity to come back to Granada.
