"Excellent course"

Arja Kirjavainen, student from Finland

Attended the course for two weeks in December 2023. The location of the school is very good in the center of Malaga, only 5 minuts from the bus station. I had the best possible teachers, spanish was spoken very clearly and the grammatic was explained so that you could understand the differences of the meanings. I was promised a course for seniors which did not happen but we could agree of the compensation. Thank you so much for the understanding and for choosing me the best level I was able to study. I did not attend any activities but there were a few of them. I was very pleased with the course, the teachers and the school and would choose it again. Thank you so much! Muchas gracias a todos! Arja

"J'ai apprécié l'approche pédagogique des professeurs."

Brigitte Fournier, student from Canada

D'abord, j'ai été classée au bon niveau. Je n'ai pas eu de difficulté à comprendre la matière enseignée. Les professeurs, Lorenzo et Marina étaient dédiés, compétents et sympatiques. Les guides étaient aussi généreux dans les informations fournies lors des activités à l'extérieur de l'école.L'école est très bien située. Le local que nous occupions pour les cours était adéquat. Nous avons loué un appartement dans le centre historique de la ville de Malaga. Hormis le bruit de la rue achanlandée où nous étions installés, il y avait l'avantage que nous nous rendions à l'école en quelques minutes.

"Two weeks well spent"

Paul Timmons, student from Ireland

I spent two weeks in an intensive course, Mon to Fri, 4 hours per day. The number of students varied over the two weeks so I would say the average was 6 students per class. I had arranged my own accommodation.

The classes were conducted in a very friendly way. The class material was very good and all four teachers were very good at explaining and engaging the students. There was plenty of time for each student to speak and practice during the classes. Grammar has always been the main difficulty for me but I found that two hours each day with good examples (explained in a friendly way) has helped me a lot. Overall, I would say that my Spanish improved a lot during my two weeks. I hope that I can come back later for another two weeks of similar classes.

The school location is very central and very easy to reach. I didn't take part in the social activities as I already had my own plans but I know that other students enjoyed the activities. The final class on my last day included a visit to the Malaga Museum, which I found to be very interesting. Andreas gave us a good explanation and background on all the exhibits.

Why not choose to stay with a Spanish family? It is a very good way to speak the language during your stay and you are guaranteed to indulge in Spanish culture!

On Spain families are selected and verified and when you select through us we cover a number of essential checks on your behalf: before accommodating students – to verify appropriate profile and to interview to check suitability, on arrival – on the second day to check with you the teacher and with your pupils if they are comfortable in their homes, and on completion of your group program with us to check customer satisfaction.

Host families are selected, interviewed and screened by means of our Vetting procedures to ensure a pleasant stay for both the families as well as the students.

Half Board includes two meals: breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Full Board includes three meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

You can choose one of the options above in single or double room.
One wash of clothes per week is included.
