Not every language learner has the same goals—and a one-size-fits-all course rarely gets anyone where they want to be. Centro Catalina's private Spanish courses in Colombia are built around you. Whether you're a professional needing industry-specific vocabulary, a student preparing for the DELE or SIELE certification exam, or someone who simply wants to learn Spanish at their own pace, these courses are shaped entirely around your objectives. No academic entry requirements apply, and all levels are accepted, from complete beginners (A1) to advanced speakers (C2). Private lessons run in the afternoons, between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday, and are available in 1:1 or semi-private (2:1) formats. Students can choose packages of 10, 15, or 20 lessons. For those with professional needs, the Spanish for Specific Purposes track goes even further — with instructor-developed content covering fields such as medicine, law, business, architecture, and more. All study materials are included. Three weekly cultural activities complement the academic side, offering real-world settings to practice the language in Colombia's vibrant cities of Cartagena and Medellín.
