Is this an intensive Spanish immersion course?

Yes. We run 2-day urban weekends and 3 or 5-day residential retreats for adults at A2 to C1. Spanish is the aim throughout, with lessons led by native Spanish teachers in groups of 10 to 12. It is an intensive, conversation-focused Spanish course built on real-life practice, not traditional classroom learning.

Is this a Spanish immersion school or a language holiday?

It is neither a classroom school nor a typical holiday. PICOS is a Spanish language retreat for adults: Spanish-only immersion at urban weekends and residential retreats, led by native Spanish teachers in groups of 10 to 12, for levels A2 to C1.

Where can I do a Spanish immersion course in the UK?

Residential retreats are at Hurdlow, near Buxton and Bakewell in the Peak District, and at Ripponden in the Yorkshire Dales. Urban weekends are in Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds and Birmingham.

Do you offer Spanish courses with accommodation?

At residential retreats you can stay on site, which costs extra (a single room costs more), or join as a commuter. At urban weekends there is an optional Friday to Sunday townhouse stay (2 nights) as an add-on.

YOU ARE NOT COMING FOR ANOTHER SPANISH COURSE

You’re not cramming more Spanish into your brain.
You’re giving yourself time to actually use what you already know.

Spanish Immersion Weekends in the UK for adults

You’ve learned enough. Now use it.

You’ve done the grammar. You’ve built the vocabulary. Now it’s time to put it into practice — speaking, listening, making mistakes and finding your words in real time.

Take Spanish out into the real world

Spanish doesn’t only happen in a classroom. You’ll use it over lunch, during activities, chatting with your group, asking questions & navigating the everyday moments that make a language feel real.

It’s easier when everyone gets it

We’ve all been there — a blank mind, a missing word, or a sentence that ends up nothing like you intended. You’re among people who understand, and that can make all the difference to your confidence.
