About us
The language school DIE AKADEMIE was founded in 1998.
DIE AKADEMIE is an international school with participants from
many different countries!
The school is situated near the cathedral so it has a perfect situation in
the centre of Palma. Among many little cafes the old town also offers
historic charm as well as our schoolhouse of the sixteenth century, the
domicile of Majorca’s upper class in former times.
Our teachers are academics, come especially from the continent
and dispose of long teaching experience in the sector Spanish as
foreign language. As our teachers also use parts of the method of the
suggestopedia, a new form of learning, progress in learning can be
achieved fast.
American doctors called this method “superlearning”. On this base
the most important of the teaching methods of our tutors, who are
native speakers, is conversation and the understanding of the foreign
language. The lessons concentrate on being practical and near on life
besides they introduce the participants playfully in the other language.
In an audiovisual room can be relaxed by classical music and melodic
sentences while the knowledge is repeated and internalised. This phase
of relaxation is efficient for the faster learning of the language (but is
almost only used in the lower courses).
