Instituto Cervantes in Leeds

Established in 1993, the Instituto Cervantes in Leeds is one of the oldest centres of the network.

As well as teaching Spanish, we offer courses for childen and teenagers, training courses for teachers of Spanish language and private lessons for individuals and companies or institutions. We also run courses on the other Spanish official languages (Catalan, Basque & Galician).

The Instituto Cervantes in Leeds hosts a library with many varied resources including films in Spanish, music CDs, novels, comics, textbooks and other Spanish language learning materials, touristic information and much more.

As we believe that truly learning the language means more than just studying it, we also offer cultural activities and cultural workshops to complement our courses.
