Spanish language courses
Spanish language courses include courses for both beginners and those who have studied for a longer period of time.
Beginner level courses 0–A1.3
Beginner level courses (0–A1.3) teach and review the basics of Spanish and encourage use of the language. There is also a short course in late spring. Quick Spanish for travelers (level 0), where you learn the specific language skills needed by travelers, and Hola! Speak and listen to Spanish (A1.3-A2.1), where you boldly dive into the Spanish language immersion.
Basic Spanish language courses A2.1-2.2
Basic Spanish courses (A2.1–A2.2) practice and refine basic Spanish speaking, writing, listening, vocabulary and grammar. There is also a tasty short course with a special theme. Spain with wine and tapas (A2.1-A2.2), distance learning course Kehitä espanjan sanastoa ja kuuntelua etänä (A2.2) and a fun grammar review for a couple of Saturdays Let's play with grammar! (A2.2-B1).
Intermediate Spanish courses B1
Intermediate courses (B1) are taught mainly in Spanish. The courses focus on developing conversational skills, listening comprehension and written expression. The special course for the end of spring is Viajamos por España (A2.2-B1), which takes you on an imaginary cultural journey to Spain.
“The teacher was really good, inspiring and knew how to advance the course in a fast-paced manner so that I felt like I was learning things.”

Language courses cannot be paid for with sports and culture benefits, but if you want to study foreign languages and use the voluntary allowance provided by your employer for them, tax-free cultural benefit (max. €400 per year), the institute can make a separate agreement with your employer. In this case, you choose the language course yourself and the institute will invoice the entire course fee or the part of it determined by your employer directly from your employer, i.e. payment is not made via Edenred, Epass or Smartum. Ask our office for more information.

Some of the teaching at Helsinki Adult Education Centre is organised via distance learning. The distance learning applications are easy to use and you can join the class even from home. The link you receive will automatically direct you to the distance learning class.
