their new language skills to practical situations. You'll learn Spanish
as you learned your native language - through practice and continuous communication.

source. Our students leave us speaking Spanish with increased
confidence - and boasting of their rewarding stay in Spain.

passionate about teaching their native language. In fact, they wrote
the textbooks

Premiere destinations
Because we believe culture is essential to language study, we have
carefully chosen the most beautiful, historic and culturally important
cities in Spain and Latin America for our schools. You may choose to stay in one city or combine stays in two or more locations, without losing a beat in your don Quijote study program.
Centrally located, fully equipped schools
Schools in historic barrios (neighborhoods), our unique dQ guarantees, libraries, free Internet and Wi-Fi in all don Quijote schools, free use of our Online Course - this is the don Quijote experience.
Engaging cultural activities
We offer daily cultural activities
and weekend sightseeing excursions to engage you in the rich culture of
our host cities. From the moment you arrive, we'll invite you to live
Spanish as you learn Spanish.
Spanish for Life
Because Spanish will enrich your life long after your first in-country
course, we hope your course will be only the beginning of a lifelong
relationship with the Spanish language and don Quijote. Between
courses, we invite you to stay in touch through our monthly newsletter while you practice your Spanish with our free dQ online members' community and weekly e-mail lesson.
