What level is this retreat for?
It is designed for learners who already have some knowledge of Spanish, typically from the upper beginner (A2) level.
Most participants fall within the A2–B1 range, meaning they can understand and use basic Spanish in everyday situations, even if they don't feel fully confident speaking yet.
We keep our groups small, which allows us to tailor activities, conversation topics, and support to the needs of the participants attending each retreat. The focus is on communication, confidence-building, and real-life language use rather than formal classroom-style learning.
