SCHOOL PARTIES

In addition to enjoying spanish classes and cultural activities alike, students love to get together at parties held both in the school itself and outside.

The parties held on the school premises take place in the assembly hall, which also features a stage with spotlights on which the more talented are invited to delight us with their artistic abilities.

The most important thing, however, is the atmosphere created by the students of Spanish themselves; in an ambience where the latest music mixes easily with the sound of salsa or flamenco, in which beer, sangria and red wine with lemonade flow freely, ably complemented by trays bearing tasty snacks, groups of students eager to chat or improvise dance routines soon begin to form. It is as simple -and as enjoyable- as that.

On some occasions, we invite native Spaniards studying at the school to join the festivities (we mustn’t forget that Lexis is also Malaga’s leading foreign language school), which they do with great gusto, keen as they are to meet students of other nationalities with whom they can arrange conversation exchanges outside the school.

This mix of Spanish and foreign students often produces some amusing situations, as the conversations that develop are quite different from those that take place between teachers and students in class… you can well imagine the countless questions generated by the colloquial expressions employed by the Spaniards and the somewhat less-than-professional answers given to these queries, and yet in spite of the fact that they are unable to understand each other perfectly, they laugh heartily and, once the beer has run out, leave the school in mixed groups before heading off into the night to carry on the party at the many bars to be found in the city centre
