What our students said about Alicante

Although it is touristy, it is very safe. In August, the temperatures were between 28° and 35° during the day. The beach is ok, but more beautiful is San Juan beach, which can be reached in 15 min by tram. Alicante has many good restaurants and places to go out. Recommended for a language course, as there are not too many Germans there and you can really immerse yourself in the language.

Nice for two weeks, then a bit boring. The harbour is nice, the beach section rather small. Between the beach/promenade and the sea is a main road. I found that annoying. Generally a lot of car traffic in the city. There are not so many sights to see. A few museums were still quite good.

Based around tourism and so there are many nationalities. Still clinging on to its Spanish identity. Lovely beaches and great castle. Very lively at night. Good transport links. Overall a great place to visit for a few weeks

Alicante is a great super friendly place. Always meet great people. Beach is okay, a bit crowded but very nice sand. I was super close to center which made it dangerous for my wallet, as i like to shop.

Not very clean (but I think many southern European cities have that in common, especially the ones that are much visited), apart from that nice.

I bought a flat in Playa San Juan/Alicante a year ago and looked at Alicante several times beforehand. So I like it!

Rambla, beach, marina, climate and shopping are the strengths. You're in a bad place by car in the center.

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Alicante

Estudio Sampere

Personally, I was lucky with the teachers, it was explained well, but I heard more negative things from other students. The first week I wasn't assigned correctly but you already know that and that was also my fault when I registered. Unfortunately, I had some very absorbing students in my class who made a lot of demands on the teachers and the teachers largely responded to this, which had a negative effect on all the other classmates. All students pay the same amount for lessons, so teachers should manage this better. The excursion we booked was also special, we, the whole group, were simply left standing on the beach in Villajoyosa, without attending all the promised activities and without instructions or a ticket for the return journey to Alicante. All in all, I liked it a lot and benefited from it. Unfortunately, the lessons are very grammar-heavy and the conversation, which is why I want to learn Spanish, is neglected in my opinion.
Many thanks to the nice teachers!

  • By the end of A1, you should be able to understand and use simple everyday expressions and phrases. You should be able to introduce yourself and others and ask and answer basic personal information. You should be able to interact in a simple way if the other person speaks slowly and clearly and is willing to cooperate. By the end of the A2 level, you should be able to understand and communicate in simple sentences about everyday topics like personal and family information, shopping, local geography, and employment.

    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 07, 2024
  • Spanish lessons are always taught directly in Spanish, even for absolute beginners. Sometimes English may be used very briefly to clarify things, but that is not the focus.
    Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - May 29, 2024
  • In the overview of schools and on the profile of the schools themselves, you can find the heading 'Accreditations'. There you can see all the accreditations a school has. In Spain, for example, an accreditation from the Instituto Cervantes is very important (red symbol).
    Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 27, 2024
  • Normally, that is not a problem. Just let us know and we will check with the school for your specific case.
    Louise Granath, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 01, 2023
  • Yes, we do offer senior immersion programmes at a teacher's home. This is a great option if you want to experience language immersion with a teacher. This is one of the best options for making rapid progress in a short period of time. You will be staying with the teacher and his family, which will allow you to practice the language all day, even around the table as all meals are included. You choose the number of lessons per week and the teacher gives you private lessons. This allows you to focus on your areas of interest and weaknesses.
    Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 23, 2023
  • The prices for the courses are normally excluding accommodation. You can add your preferred accommodation option separately (see the calculator on the right). In some cases the course price is including accommodation, for example with some senior and junior courses. If accommodation is included this will be noted in the remark section of the course block (below the prices).
