Immerse yourself in the Spanish-speaking world

Spanish is much more than just a language. We take you on a journey to speak and get to know this incredibly rich culture so that you can fully experience it.

Interactive, varied, and fun

Forget about repeating sentences to an app and constantly looking up words! These methods take a lot of time, and yet insufficient to reach fluency in Spanish.

Start speaking right away in small groups so you quickly understand the grammar and your vocabulary continuously expands. Trust our expertise to make continuous progress and speak Spanish with confidence.

Small classes, effective lessons

There are maximum 6 students in a group. This way, we ensure that there is room to give each student personal attention. The pace of our Spanish courses is high, so you can quickly use what you’re learning in real life.

What our students say

¡Hola!

My name is Leonor and I come from Pamplona, a small town in the north of Spain. As far back as I can remember, I have been a huge fan of traveling and languages. When I was 21, I came to this beautiful country without speaking a single word of Dutch. I still remember very well how everything changed once I mastered the language. I no longer felt like an outsider; I could participate in social events and truly get to know the culture.

In 2020, I founded Citadel and since then I have surrounded myself with the best teachers to let you experience the Spanish-speaking culture in all its facets.

Do you have another question?

In class we focus on conversation. We take advantage of our time together to talk, as you can do other types of activities on your own between classes. We prepare varied classes, alternating group activities with exercises you do with one or two students, for example, and combining various methods and types of exercises.

We never stop learning and that is why each class is completely different. In addition, each group is also different and the teacher takes this into account, adapting her study program to the method that will best help you in each case.

We try to teach classes in Spanish. However, sometimes it can be more practical to explain something in English, especially if it is a grammar topic and in the Beginner courses.

Yes, and it is essential that you do it. Consistency is key when learning languages. So try to spread your homework over several days, or do it right between classes. That is, if you have class on Monday, try to do it on Thursday or Friday. That way you won’t go a week without contact with the language.

It may happen that we offer a course at your level and at a time that suits you, but you are going to miss some sessions due to vacation or work.

It is okay to miss a session or two, it is common and usually the student can catch up with the instructions of their teacher.

If you are going to miss more than two sessions, please contact us so we can find a solution. We will be happy to offer you an alternative that suits your particular situation.

The exact investment required for materials for your course depends on several factors. To give you an idea, since one book is enough for several courses, you will usually spend around €12 on materials for a group course.

If you take a face-to-face course, you can order it when you enrol. That way it will be waiting for you on the first day of class. Plus, you know for sure that you have the right books and on time.

You can also buy the book through other means. Make sure you order the correct edition, as there are several editions of the methods we use in circulation.

If you take an online course, you will find a link in the customer area so you can be sure you have the right books. Make sure you order your materials in time, at least a week before the course starts.

With iDeal in3 you can pay in three months for just 4% more. The first payment takes place when you enrol.

Absolutely. In both the public and private sectors, employees often have a training budget that can therefore be used for our courses.

There are two options. The quickest is for the student to book and pay for the course and then declare the expenses to the company they work for. If that option does not exist, please contact us so that we can process the payment directly with the company.

In the last step of the registration form above you will be offered three payment options: iDeal (with any Dutch bank), credit card or PayPal. With iDeal in3 you can pay in three months for just 4% more.

These are two very different formats.

Our group students are usually looking to share their learning process with other students and are not in a hurry to reach a certain level by a certain date.

Those who prefer a private course choose it because of the flexible schedule it offers, because they prefer to learn at their own pace and/or because they have a very clear goal, such as preparing for an exam or learning as much as possible before a trip.

If you don’t know which format best suits your goals, book a free interview and we will advise you personally.

See you very soon in the lessons!
