About Estudio Sampere
You study Spanish in the historic heart of Salamanca, a seven-minute walk from the Casco Histórico. Founded in 1992, Estudio Sampere is a family-run school with a small, personal feel.
Your classes are small, and all your teachers are native speakers.
Estudio Sampere is right for you if you…
- Want a small, personal school
- Cultural activities alongside lessons
- Want to stay in the historic centre
- Enjoy a relaxed, family-like atmosphere
Is Estudio Sampere right for you?

Your first day at Estudio Sampere
Be at the school by 08:40. That is the arrival time on day one, a little before the 09:00 start of the standard timetable.
Bring a notebook, pens and a dictionary. The AULA books and the school's own materials are covered by your course fee, so there is nothing else to buy before you begin.
How the day goes
Step 1 of 1
A placement test checks your level, and the result decides your group and timetable.
What you do outside class at Estudio Sampere
At the guitar factory, you get the chance to try making a Spanish guitar yourself. It is one of the more unusual outings in the school's programme, alongside a visit to the Automobile History Museum and cultural workshops. Your first activity is a welcome party. After that, the week mixes sports activities with day trips to nearby cities, and a weekend excursion rounds it off.
