History
Es ist einfach mehr als Spanisch
a lot more than Spanish
elebe was founded in 2011 by Spanish Estefanía López Ballbé. It is recognized by the Ministry of Social Security and Generations under the regulation BGBL II Nr. 409/2002 as an institute for adult education in accordance with §1, Abs. 2 of the Federal Regulation.
Our international team works under the motto “language connects” and we put it into practice to share, not only the language, but also the lifestyles, cultures, and flavors of Spain and Latin America.
Over the years, language learning has become an important aspect of intercultural, travel and business work. There are 22 Spanish-speaking countries with a total of more than 400 million native Spanish speakers.
The variety of Spanish dialects and cultures is highlighted through our choice of faculty members, as they are from various parts of the Spanish-speaking world and have high academic backgrounds. Our students can experience all this variety first hand whilst having their individual learning needs and requirements met.
Online courses for the educational leave (Bildungskarenz)
Our online courses fulfill all the AMS requirements for continuing education within the educational leave
