Positive aspects of school
They organized lots of activities to keep you busy and to get to know the other students. A social activity almost every night. For example: paella night, beach party, windsurfing, beer + tapas night, cooking class. It was great. They really offer more than just Spanish lessons. Besides that, everybody in the school was really friendly (teaches, staff, the other students) and everything was well-organized.

Go to the social events, maybe not all of them but the ones you are interested in. It provides a good opportunity for meeting new people.

The accommodation was a big disappointment. The internet did not work throughout my entire 8 week stay, the TV did not work and many of the lights did not work. What made it worse was that the landlord Cyril never did anything about it despite promising to on many occasions. I felt I could have learnt more if the lessons has translated some english into spanish or vice-versa. Sometimes it was hard to keep up with the teaching because of this.

make the most of your time there, meet as many people as possible and participate in what you can. just get stuck in and most importantly try to speak, which is very hard for beginners but pays off for sure :)

The teachers were great and the lessons also fun. The Superintensiv was not really that useful. The first week was kind of boring, but the second much better. I would book intensive the next time and use the extra time to explore the city more. YOU SHOULD GO!

The only shame was that there were only 3 classes of different abilities, and my language level did not really fit into one of the 3 offered. But that's perhaps to be expected as November is not peak time! Still, it was fun and my Spanish improved a lot so was worthwhile!

Vorschlag zu Verbesserung: Bei Prof-Wechsel sollten sich die Lehrkräfte besser absprechen und Infos über die jew. Klasse weitergeben. Kopiertes Unterrichtsmaterial ist manchmal schlecht lesbar.

In zwei Wochen haben die Lehrer, meiner Meinung nach, zu oft gewechselt. Das kann allerdings saisonal bedingt sein. Die Schule bietet zwar kostenloses WLAN an, in den meisten Räumen ist das Signal jedoch zu schwach. Eigentlich schade.

Taronja School is a very small school. Because it's a small school the teachers and students are close. The quality of the lessons was good because mostly one to one contact. I had an excellent family. Valencia has been of course the most famous city because of the river park and Kalitrava buildings. But the city centre is more pleasant. And there is a lot of smog in the city centre due to trafic and Sahara sand. But the beach is wonderful.
