the absence of a level test is a matter of lack of professionalism, because even if the level reported is incorrect, you often can not change the level as the classes are already formed. absence of air conditioning

To me, it seems very important that language teachers don't get carried away and talk too much. The students must do the talking ,especially in Conversation classes. Time is so short that all lessons should be well prepared so that students advance quickly.

I felt the school could be better organized. I was never told that there was a board listing social activities in the main building (I didn't do any social activities with the school, but I did meet up with a couple of my classmates in the evening), and it was never explained to me that students doing a less intensive course would just turn up later in the morning. All these students had already been at the school for some time, they mix everyone up instead of putting the new students on a separate course. Having said that, I definitely improved over the week and, after my dreadful first day, I did enjoy myself.

I went to Cadiz from May to August of 2005. Cadiz was the place I had hoped for; a nice climate, beautiful and authentic, with warm people. I can't say enough good things about my experience there. I debated for a long time between many different places in Spain. Thankfully, I chose Cadiz. What a great combination of students, engaging and caring teachers. Alberto, Nano, y Patricia: I will never forget my time in Cadiz.

It is good for students when they are placed in the right course, but once you placed there is basically no chance to switch. The school and it´s staff is very unflexible.

The entrance test was not taken into any consideration whatsoever. Classes were mixed in level, from absolute beginners to intermediate, despite the entrance test. Grammar classes were sometimes too easy, but conversation was ok. In the end I got a diploma for an A level, although I was looking for an intermediate/advanced course. The diploma does not reflect my acutal language skills.

It's not clear to me, what the initial language test was good for. The classes seem to have been formed in disregard of the tests, since in our group there were students with levels from absolute beginners to lower intermediate. Furthermore, I received a certificate for level A1, which does not correspond to the level I reached by the end of the course.

Personally I had a great time, the teachers I got there were the best teachers I've ever had, you learn a lot, but you have fun at the same time, a great school! The shared flat I lived in was OK as well, it was big and a bit old, but that didn't matter much!

I liked the mixture of students from all over the world. It was very interesting, to get to know other cultures so intensive. And the teachers at the school were amazing. I would have never believed that you can learn so much in 8 weeks course duration.

Cadiz is a beautiful little city with some cultural features and a great nightlife in the old part of the town. And renting a car, you can reach so many famous places in Andalucia in a one-day-trip.

Teachers were very nice and lectures interesting. I think our teachers would deserve a permanent contract so that they wouldn't be unemployed as soon as student number drops during winter time.

A small little town with very few foreign tourists. Very authentic Spanish atmosphere. Language students are on an average mid of 20, open-minded and active. Accommodation was big with TV etc. Attention: Accent in Cadiz is different than in other parts of Spain (however if you manage to make yourself understood in Cadiz you will manage to do it everywhere).

Maybe if you attend private courses on top of the intensive course, you can learn faster and more. What's more: get an intercambio as soon as you can (it's a person from the place you can talk with, so you have an opportunity to practice the language.
