Last weekend we held our annual TANDEM LANGUAGE SCHOOLS meeting in beautiful San Sebastián. Member schools from Bremen, Hamburg, Kóln, Frankfurt, München, Madrid, Granada and Barcelona joined the meeting. Our member school TANDEM San Sebastián organized the meeting and offered us an amazing cultural programme during the weekend.

TANDEM Language Schools is an association of independent, non-profit German and Spanish language schools in Germany, Spain and Chile. Alongside lively, highly professional language lessons, all the schools offer their course participants a wealth of opportunities for intercultural encounters, personal contacts and experiencing a new culture. For us, learning languages and getting to know foreign cultures are inseparable.

Each member school cultivates its own learning environment, shaped by the local region. At the same time, all schools meet their jointly defined, verifiable quality standards. As independent organisations, the schools can react flexibly to the wishes and needs of participants. By using modern language teaching methods, all schools create a strong basis to build contact, interaction and understanding between people from different cultures.

We go out for some tapas!
Meeting point: School
Guide: Francisco
Price: each student pays his consumption

A tapa is a type of appetizer which is served when you order a drink. Serving tapas to customers is a typical Spanish tradition preserved through the whole of Spain. In some cities, such as Granada, the tapas are free. They can vary from just a few peanuts or a small dish of olives, to almost a mini meal in itself. One of the most enjoyable pleasures of the Spanish culture, is to go out with your friends for tapas. You usually only stay in each tapas bar for one or two drinks, so that you can go to a series of different bars in one evening. In some tapas bars you can choose your tapa, whereas in others, there is a set list of tapas that you get according to the type which is being served.

Escuela Montalbán is an excellent language school with very competent and committed teachers and an excellent range of courses. I completed a two-week course ‘Cultura Al-Andalus’ here, consisting of an intensive language course (C1/C2) and a special programme on Moorish history, art and culture in Granada. I had very good lessons in the morning with Marisa and José and every afternoon a full and fascinating programme in the form of workshops and excursions with Francisco and the partners of the school (e.g. an Arabic wrting course or a cooking course). Concha, the hostess provided by the school, welcomed me as a friend, so I was able to speak Spanish every day in my accommodation. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Absolutely recommended!

Most teterías are located in Calderería Nueva, which leads to the Albaycín from Calle Elvira. Most tea shops in Granada serve Arabic teas and even more exotic teas. There are many tea shops in Granada, which make you relive the time of Moorish Andalusia.
