The progress sounds great, but isn't it expensive?
No. Not at all. Our prices are very competitive, certainly in comparison with other intensive language schools Alhambra Instituto offers Spanish courses for comparatively little money. Some people think if they will receive better teaching and learn Spanish quicker if they decide for a bigger and more expensive school.
