Founded since 1993, Sothis has been providing quality Spanish Language classes to foreigners living on the island as well as travellers interested in learning the language during their holidays. From day one, Sothis places great emphasis on spoken language. In addition to grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary exercises, students are exposed to Spanish in its colloquial form; providing them an insight into the social and historical structure of the country. This enhances the ability of students in using Spanish in everyday situations such as visiting the cafés, grocery stores or immerse themselves in one of the many festivals in the Canary Islands.
Sothis uses drawings, pictures and audible learning materials to establish direct relationship with the new vocabulary, making language learning much more fun. Depending on the current state of knowledge/ interest of the students in the group, we also include various topic discussions, reports, newspaper articles etc in our lessons. Usually Sothis uses its own text books "¡Vale! I or II" as the basis of teaching. They offer comprehensive step by step approach to Spanish learning, with easy to follow explanations, examples and exercises.
