General class atmosphere and students' background

Centro Compultense para la Enseñanza del Español (Compultense Centre for Spanish Learning) of the Compultense University in Madrid has a very international class atmosphere.

So far I have met students from Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Russia, Brazil, the United States, Australia, Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The class size is 10-15 students in which typically there are occupied by American students (40%), European students (30%) and Asian students (30%).

There are mainly two groups of students: university students who are in Madrid for an exchange program such as Erasmus, and those who have already graduated from universities with job experience who are looking for a career change, enrichment of their language skills etc. Most of the students fall between 20 to 40 years of age. Majority of the students are in their 20s, so it is a group of young students and professionals.

There are classes in the morning and in the afternoon. I was placed in the afternoon class for the fall semester (October-December). I am not too familiar with the morning classes, but it seems there are fewer level distinctions. in the morning There are more class levels in the afternoon and so students can be placed in the appropriate level for their Spanish. 

Class levels will be posted next time!
