Really impressed with the course. The only let-down was the classroom which was unpleasantly hot.

The building was beautiful and the staff was very helpful. It was the perfect location to absorb the Spanish culture and really learn the language. I highly recommend the school.

I wanted to take an hour tutoring lesson aside from the regular class, but this was not an option. I felt that I was a little lost in learning during the 3rd week and felt a private lesson would've greatly helped.

Pas assez de niveaux. La deuxieme semaine, je me suis un peu ennuyée parce que le groupe n'était pas très fort et je ne pouvais pas changer de cours.

12 Teilnehmer pro Klasse sind zuviel! Dadurch ergab sich kaum Möglichkeit zu sprechen. Von A2 bis C1 war alles in einer Klasse vertreten. Der Eingangstest ist eine Farce: Kaum ausgefüllt, riss man ihn uns aus den Händen und wir waren bereits in unserer endgültigen Klasse, ohne dass eine Auswertung stattgefunden hätte.

Consiglierei la scuola a chi volesse fare un corso di spagnolo a Siviglia, non consiglierei a nessuno l'esperienza in famiglia che ho fatto io.
