Bienvenidos! (= welcome!)

Learn to thpeak ath a Thpaniard!! <learn to speak as a Spaniard>

Learning a language does not mean just obtaining a degree, but much more understanding of the culture of this country.

As for Spain, there are a lot of things we can learn about arts and, especially, about Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Goya, Velázquez & Salvador Dalí, its architecture and, especially, about Gaudí, Bofill and Calatrava, about dances like flamenco and of course about sports, since a match of “Barca” vs. the “Quenn of Madrid” makes us more hot-blooded!

The long experience of our teachers and their proven methodology, guarantee the success of our students in the examinations for a degree in Spanish language.

Upon completion of the program, the student beyond his/her success in the exams, feels more confident with the diverse knowledge he/she has taken in the culture and philosophy of Spanish-speaking people. It is a language accessible to every Greek student, mainly due to its pronunciation and the rich cultural tradition that makes it particularly attractive.

In addition, the staff of EMFASIS sets the foundations and offers the appropriate cognitive means for students and adults to enter into Spanish and Greek universities, to successfully meet the requirements of undergraduate or graduate studies in Spanish.
