Instructors

The Intercam instructors are qualified with experience of language teaching.
They hold university degrees with post-graduate qualifications. Their experience is wide and varied and includes having helped both adults and children to learn languages, in Spain and in other countries.
Intercam School of Languages uses the PsL System of language teaching developed by Crossroads Japan Ltd.

 

Methodology

Intercam is the realization of a language learning method based on language practice. We don’t teach languages, we help people develop the language skills they need to express themselves in a language other than their native one.

Attentive and comprehensive listening, building communication structures, correct reading and pronunciation, and correct writing.

Our classes are hands-on sessions on these skills. What we offer you is a training to develop the ability to express yourself in a language, which is different from your usual one. A toolkit with which you will be able to learn, in this order, to listen, speak, read and write.

At Intercam School of Languages we emphasize learning the language in a natural way as an instrument of communication between people.

The main feature of our method is giving priority to spoken language. We help you learn languages in a practical, active and motivating way.

Acquiring a new language is a long process and learning will depend, in large part, on your motivation, your ability and your perseverance. We try to adapt the classes not only to the level, but to the pace of each person. The teaching material is designed to be delivered gradually to the students.

To sum up, we offer a practical method of language learning, with personal mentoring from day to day.

«It’s not a know-about teaching,

but a know-how learning!«

What Our Students Say

“The distance Spanish classes (online video) work very well for me, allowing flexibility to incorporate the sessions into a very complete work agenda. This allows for the inclusion of reading and interpretation of textual material such as literature/prose and others. A wonderful experience to learn a second or third language.»

Luc Leybaert (Gante, Bélgica)

«Maricarmen is a wonderfully creative teacher with seemingly infinite patience.  Her lessons are carefully tailored to students’ individual needs and learning styles. Maricarmen has a special talent for making whatever you want to talk about both fun and relevant for expanding your knowledge whether it be vocabulary, verb tenses or sentence structure.” 

 Ros Draper (Londres, GB)

“I wanted to learn English and go hiking. I found this in the Alpujarra. La Taha guarantees to fully enjoy unusual landscapes. Intercam in Pitres provides learning. They are adapted to the level of the student, they apply direct, simple and practical methods. The experience has been beautiful and effective, and I am grateful for the commitment of the teaching staff. With them I will continue to maintain and expand my level. Thank you.»

José López Galdeano (Granada)

«Intercam School of Languages has an exceptional methodology! Several members of our family are studying English and Japanese at Intercam. The teachers are passionate and the learning environment is welcoming, tailored to each student and each class is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the language. The method is practical and effective and makes learning fun. Highly recommended for those looking to master a new language.”

Lorenzo Coll Loshuertos  (Mallorca)

«Thanks to these classes from an early age, I have never had difficulties with English…  Going to these classes has not only improved my English, but also the incentive to use English in my daily life, watching series, videos or even playing video games. Nowadays it could be said that I use English more than Spanish, since we live in a world where English has become a global language, its learning is not academic or a duty, but a necessity, and these classes are a great way to spread your wings in this language.”

Juanjo Pelegrina. Trevélez (Granada)

«I was spending a lot of time in Spain, and also I had decided to run barefoot from one end to the other for charity! Learning some Spanish felt important! Lessons with Maricarmen from the outset were fun, and yet also very productive! I felt confident to practice speaking Spanish from the very beginning, and understanding seemed to happen like magic! Maricarmen was endlessly patient when I made the same mistakes again and again! And her unwavering presence made all the lessons very special.»

Julia Chi Taylor (Londres, GB)

«With Intercam, I can learn Spanish one-to-one, online, and entirely at my own pace. Lessons are friendly, relaxed, and structured without having to memorize lots of verb tables. Maricarmen is friendly and encouraging. A really enjoyable way to learn.«
