Learn Spanish with the VICI Academy

We offer Spanish language packages for every learning style

Hi, I’m Nathalie, the VICI Academy owner and director.

I’m originally from a beautiful area of rural France – Jura – unspoiled but a far cry from an international metropolis with mind-expanding experiences.

Bilingualism wasn’t on my family’s radar; I wasn’t an academic high-flyer, neither of my parents spoke a second language, and there weren’t a lot of opportunities for linguistic exposure.

So, as someone who didn’t start out as the kind of person for whom bilingualism was an obvious and foregone conclusion, I realised that with a desire and a willingness to learn, ANYONE can become BILINGUAL – as long as you’re surrounded by a team that is equally as committed to helping you achieve your results, as you are.

Whether your goal is to travel, communicate with native speakers, boost your career prospects, or simply expand your horizons, we’ll help you with the best way to learn Spanish, to equip you with the skills and confidence you need to succeed.

We’ve coached over 1,000 students in the last few years – ensuring that whatever their motivation or goal they put their mind to, they always keep learning and growing. Not just in language, but personally too.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced linguist, the VICI Language Academy is here to provide you with the perfect Spanish learning experience tailored to your needs and goals.

We’d love to know more about your language-learning journey so far! Perhaps you can identify your profile that best describes you below? We support all levels of learners!

What has your language learning journey been so far?

You learnt some Spanish at school, tried an online course or have been using apps like DuoLingo or Babble to learn. It has gone well so far but you are finding a lack of cohesion and want to communicate confidently to other Spanish speakers in practice. You would like to take it to the next level and really concentrate your learning.

You feel confident with basic Spanish, and can communicate with others on holiday, but you have an ambition of one day living in a Spanish speaking country or buying a property. You want to know how to learn better and take it to the next level.

You speak Spanish well, but you know you need a team of professional linguists to motivate you to practice and apply yourself more. Or perhaps you just want to better understand your learning style with guidance from our coaches.

You need a formal certification or training to apply for Spanish Citizenship, a job or even to boost your CV,

How you can learn with our packages:

1:1 Private Coaching

We have highly trained, friendly and expert Spanish teachers qualified in 1:1 Private Coaching.

As one of the fastest ways to fluency, they will work with you to identify and analyse your learning style, offering personalised sessions and guidance to suit you.

They will truly get to know you to understand your passions and motivations, offering tailor-made lessons to help you achieve your goals.

Packages start at £327 for regular private sessions.

 

Group Coaching

Many of us like to learn with peers beside us, but actually getting to a language centre often puts a barrier in place.

Our group coaching normally takes place in the evening and online with i.VICI (our live coaching platform), so you can easily hop on and join your group lesson from the comfort of your own home.

You will have the opportunity to connect, practice and share ideas with both your coach and the other students while becoming proficient in the language you love.

Beginner and intermediate sessions are available.

We offer membership from £72 per month.

 

On-demand Online Learning

In addition to our live group coaching, we also offer on-demand online learning through our partner language platforms, where you will work through modules at your own pace. This is a fantastic self-study practice, superior to learning on an app as it was built to be a professional programme.

Generally, our students find this works as a great supplement to either 1:1 sessions or Group coaching.

Online access at £17 per month.

Residential Programmes

If you know you learn best by throwing yourself into an immersive environment, our residential stays offer that, where you speak, eat and see all things Spain!

We have been running residential trips for several years, which have proven to be highly successful. Not only will you put your skills truly into practice, but you have the opportunity to develop yourself personally and network with a group of similar-minded linguists.

Our next Spanish residential stay is taking place in March 2024. Learn more about what you could get from the immersive experience here.

 

Blended Learning Packages

If you think you want to combine a few of the options we have on offer, we will advise on the best way forward for you.

We create tailor-made packages to suit your learning styles and really advance your Spanish learning.

A popular option is to combine access to group sessions, a weekly coursework session online and occasional 1:1 coaching.

Does this sound like this would suit you? We offer informal consultations to offer advice on the best blended learning package. Contact our team here for an informal chat.

Do you need our help figuring out what your level of Spanish is?

We offer formal online language testing for those who need to get an idea of their Spanish language proficiency, perhaps for a CV or application. You can take an online test with us, and your results will be delivered back within 48 hours.

Test results are based on the European Framework for languages, indicating your level between A1 – C2 (beginner to advanced).

Costing as little as £45, contact our team today.

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to your Spanish learning.

 

We know that not everyone needs or wants exactly the same thing when it comes to Spanish language learning, which is why we continue to offer bespoke online language programmes, ensuring that your learning path suits your needs and your lifestyle.

Some of our clients have a simple monthly membership, while others invest in 3, 6 or 12-month blocks. There’s no right answer; it’s about the answer that gets you to where you want to be.

Whether you’re a kinaesthetic (you do to learn) or an auditory (you listen to learn) style learner, we can support you, offering consultations on how best you can spend your time.

We enrol students throughout the year, so you can join us anytime!

Kind Words FROM STUDENTS

“A wonderful experience so far with the VICI Academy!

Such a warm welcome from Nathalie who explained in detail how the academy works for you as an individual and creates a program that fits in with your lifestyle.

I’ve wanted to learn a language for as long as I can remember but as I’m unable to commit to a weekly class I assumed this would be almost impossible. I start my one-to-one lessons this week and cannot wait! Thank you for fulfilling my dream. Now the hard work starts!”

Juliette Richards

“I’ve just been on an excellent VICI Immersion Week and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The programme was skilfully constructed to be fun as well as instructive. It’s often a struggle learning a second language as an adult but this week was a big leap forward for me.

I’d strongly recommend it.”

Andrew Pengelly

“I have thoroughly enjoyed learning a new language with VICI over the last couple of years and have been impressed by the dedication, professionalism and expertise of all the staff.

The team knows exactly what they are doing and have relentless determination to make it happen, with quality and service always the key factors.”
