Learn Spanish.
Connect with people.
A welcoming and professional approach built around real communication. Join our Spanish classes in Edinburgh or build a guided online practice routine with Rutinea, matched to your starting point, whether you attend classes or learn independently.
LEARNING AT EL PATIO.
Spanish is meant to be used.
At El Patio, learning Spanish is about more than understanding grammar or remembering vocabulary. It is about turning what you learn into real communication.
In our small, welcoming classes, you practise with other people, learn with experienced teachers and gradually build the confidence to use Spanish in the real world. And because progress comes from keeping Spanish present in your week, we believe learning should continue beyond the classroom.
Real conversation.
Use Spanish from the beginning and learn to communicate with other people.
Practice.
Small groups give you plenty of opportunities to speak, listen, ask questions and take part.
Guidance.
Experienced teachers help you understand, practise and move forward.
Continuity.
Keep Spanish active between lessons so what you learn has more chance to stick.
FIND YOUR PLACE.

You don’t need to know your level before you begin. Choose the option that best describes you and we’ll guide you from there.

Bienvenidos. Come on in.
Since 2013, El Patio has brought students and teachers together in Edinburgh through Spanish. Our classes combine structured teaching with real conversation, helping you feel comfortable enough to make mistakes, build confidence and get to know the people learning alongside you.
“This is the friendliest class you could ever hope to find! So nice to have a class that's fun and where it's okay to make mistakes”
“The focus on peer and group learning ensures that there are lots of opportunities in the lessons to converse with others”
RUTINEA.
