The teachers

Park Guell!

Contact with other students

The teachers are professional and very friendly, although some of them are a bit slow in the teaching process and do not ensure that every student can participate in conversation during the lesson.

Be active during the lessons.

I liked the fact that the teachers were able to facilitate the lessons through Spanish without any of the meaning being lost. The constant use of the language provided a great means to pick up the language. Also one of the teachers was a Rory Gallagher fan!

The coffee machine on the balcony is pretty epic!

Had a really beneficial time at the school. Sad it was only for a week.

Great area. Small classes.

The teachers don't now any English at all!!! So it takes a while to understand and learn from the beginning.

The teachers and the accommodation and the location.

Gracia, its a wonderful area!

location, friendliness and helpfulness of staff

spare time

Teaching was good

The one thing I was disappointed with was the students were predominantly fresh out of high school. Being a little older than that, would have liked a higher proportion of students in their mid-20's and above. Would have made the conversations more interesting. But the teachers I had were all quite good.

The teachers, small groups, the gathering at the terrace...

Book only two weeks of acommodation, and then look for something cheaper!

I really recommend this school. The course was awesome! If you're Brazilian, like me, you might find that the method is not exactly suited for speakers of latin-languages, and you'll often find that you're wasting time when people are discussing vocabulary or grammar. Despite that, I could still learn a lot and I do recommend the experience!

My teacher Marisa

It was easy to meet other students, wish I could have stayed longer.

Good and flexible organisation.

Take the morning course.

Try to get the student residence. It is nice and near the school.

Friendly way of teaching

the classes were only in spanish -no english

bad air conditioning system - felt like winter inside

The teachers are really great and they create a very friendly and informal atmosphere in class. The worst thing is that sometimes the students within a class have different levels and slow you down.

small groups in classes

Roof cafe is worth a visit and weekend excursions are good.

Would have helped to have a course guide at the start to show the topics which would have been covered and for the preparation. Lessons never started on time but always finished on time or earlier. "Guide to Barcelona" introduction on first day was inconsistent. It is a wonderful city with many things to see and do. This was not suggested at all throughout the initial talk, only little info offered besides a map of the town.

Two hours without much interruption

Festa de Gracia (around 15th-25th August)

Classes are not only hold in the morning, but also from 1.30pm to 5pm. Teachers are very friendly and helpful and take student wishes into consideration. Classes are held in double-hours (90 min). Conversation classes from my point of view are not very helpful, because if there are more than 5 students, you don't talk much individually. Teaching takes usually place in class exercises, not split up into pairs or groups of 3. At beginners level many Germans (not really much talking in a foreign language), at intermediate and above almost none. All in all this school is to be recommended.

Good quality teaching.

The buildings, the reception at the school, and proximity to the subway station and shops.

It is possible to print out courses content that the teachers require. Should accelerate the school timetable. Too much waffle for each exercise. I had during 12 days only 3 lessons. It didn't really helped me to progress. Conversational classes only lasted half an hour. Have the possibility to choose either classes in the morning or in the afternoon.

Rooms offered by host families are not that big, the fenester wasn't large and the bed was stuck behind a cupboard, the sprung mattress wasn't that cozy, the vue wasn't amazing... ! Need to check the bathroom conditions... I have some pictures and I can show them to you if you want to. Ask families only to speak in spanish and cooking good meals with good value for money. It wasn't what I got. And finally, I was lonely during diner time, not that nice.

The hospitality and friendliness of the teachers.

In reality an intensive course of 20 hours per week comes to 13 and a half hours, because during the first day of clas you have to attend the level test and you only have an hour and a half of lessons. In the following days the hours are from 9:00 to 12:30 with a half hour break. It's useless to buy the textbook because it is used not very often. Borrow it instead.

The structure, the teachers, the kindness of all -- a truly beautiful experience.

All teachers are very nice.

The terrace of the school.

The teacher Sonia and the fact that there are few students per class.

Classes in small groups, teacher Liliana very good, great roof terrace
