EIDE is a language school established in 1976. Since its foundation, EIDE has trained more than 14.000 students. Language teaching was its main activity when it opened its doors and languages are still the pillars around which the other main areas have been developed: Hospitality Management, Tourism, and Catering. Our more than 30-years experience and professionalism have been recognized by such institutions and the University of Cambridge ESOL examinations and the Instituto Cervantes, as well as different National European Organizations. We pay personal attention to all foreign students, which allows them to obtain excellent results in the learning of the Spanish language. We also encourage them to mix with other Spanish speaking students who attend our school, thus they are able to practice the Spanish language, as well as to experience the authentic Spanish and Basque culture. The goal of our courses is to teach people to communicate in Spanish in real-world situations. With this goal in mind, our classes focus on basic linguistic skills: speaking and spoken interaction, listening comprehension, reading, and writing. All our teachers are native speakers; they have a university degree in languages and are very experienced in teaching languages. "... highly qualified teachers, who have studied abroad, who speak other languages and who are very open to other cultures. They can understand the point of view of their students; they always find a way to explain the inexplicable". Xana Farpón, a Spanish teacher at EIDE, BA in Languages by the University of Deusto and MA in Linguistics by Ohio State University.
