DELE certification
« on: October 22, 2002, 05:03:00 PM »
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any references on the don quijote language school.  I\'ve been checking into schools in Spain to take an intensive Spanish course in order to get my first certificate.  I want to eventually attend the University of Barcelona and the DELE is a requirement as English is my first language.  I\'ve find several schools that also help with accomodation etc.  I\'m just looking for references...



Thanks,



Michelle[addsig]

Hello Michelle,





I have been to the don quijote school in Madrid.  You probably are interested in their Barcelona program.  I have not attended but I did visit because I needed to obtain information.  They have a pretty good program and seem like they offer accomodation.  I don\' think it\'s that pricey.  The more weeks you stay the cheaper the per week cost. I have the biz card for the administrator of the mad office.  Maybe you would like to email him.  [!-- BBcode auto-mailto start --][a href=\"mailto:Pedro@donquijote.org.\"]Pedro@donquijote.org.[/a][!-- BBCode auto-mailto end --]  His name is Pedro Sanchez.  The tel for the barcelona office is 93 412 48 49.  Write him or call him to get more specific information.  I also have taken and passed the D.E.L.E. via Instituto Cervantes as the exam provider.  I have passed the Basico.  Do not let the term Basico fool you, it does cover some advanced issues.  If you are interested in taking the test it is offered twice a year for all levels, inicial , basico y avanzado.  The test is offered in Nov. and May.  I think it is offered also in August in Spain.  The number for the Instituto Cervantes is 212-661-6011.  THey have many locations within the United States and abroad.  [!-- BBCode auto-link start --][a href=\"http://www.cervantes.org.\" target=\"_blank\"]www.cervantes.org.[/a][!-- BBCode auto-link end --]



Hope this helps.
