Other comments
I wish that we should have spoken more at the lectures. A good idea is to split the lesson in two parts. The first part with grammar and the second part with speaking. An easy way to solve that problem. I went there to learn how to speak, but I think there was too much writing. But I really liked our teacher Lydia. She was very kind and funny!!

The receptionists and teachers were really friendly and made the stay worthwhile, the rooms were too small for the number of people (I went in August, high season). The students are from all over the world but most of them are from Italy, Austria and Germany.

担当の先生が実によかった。英語を一切授業で使ってわいけないので、必然となんとかスペイン語で頑張って伝えようという姿勢になった。あと、アクティビティが週に3〜4回あり、観光客では行けないようなおもしろいところにたくさん連れて行ってくれた。また、観光地にも連れてってくれたが、大人数で行くとまた楽しかった。それになんと言ってもクラスの垣根を越えていろんな人と仲良くなれるのでいい経験でした。
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
ヨーロッパの人々は初心者と言っても、みんな授業でなにかしらやっているので、少しの知識はある。そんな人々と同じクラスでやっていくので、たとえ1番初心者クラスでも、ある程度は知ってるという考えのもと授業が進んでいく。だからなにも分からないという状態でいったら間違いなく授業には全くついていけないでしょう。それを習うためにこれから留学するんだ、と言っても、ある程度の準備をするのは当然だと私も思う。私は大学で2年間勉強してたのでついていけたが、同じクラスの日本人の女性はほぼ分からない状態だったらしく、全くついていけてなかった。そうなると楽しみもなくなってしまうから、事前準備はやはり必須だと思う。けどこれはこの学校だけではなく、どこの学校でもどの語学でも共通することだと思う。

このサイトの対応も学校も実によかったです。おすすめします。学校は小さい学校だけど、教師陣が大変よかったと思います。また、国籍比率はドイツ、ロシア、ポーランド、日本の順に多かったと思います。あとはフランス、オランダ、イタリア、チェコ、韓国などが少し。とにかくドイツ人が多かった。

Schade, dass das Buch, das wir anfangs erhalten haben im Unterricht gar nicht zum Einsatz kam. Statt dessen haben wir viele andere Kopien bekommen. Vielleicht könnte man das Arbeitsmaterial verbessern.
