Reviews by former students who attended a course in Malaga
Everybody was very friendly and eager to help. The communication and organisation also before arrival was very good and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed and very pleasant. The teacher was a very nice person who conducted classes in a pleasant way. However, I would have preferred a little more systematic teaching and targeted exercises. In my opinion, the amount of conversation was too high for a class of 9 participants.

Q&A - Questions and answers about Malaga
- Did the highest high school 2023 exam for Spanish with a positive result. Which level would suit me best?“The highest final level of high school for Spanish assumes B2 level and so I suspect you have this level. The school will ask you to take their language test once you have booked, so that they know well which level suits you best.”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 17, 2023Is there a possibility that you can keep a space for me and I pay the prepayment later?“No, I am afraid we need the prepayment in order to send your booking to the school.”Louise Granath, LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 27, 2023I am 51 years old and hesitate whether to opt for a 50+ or an all-ages course.“With your 51 years old, you can opt for a 50+ course, but also a general Spanish course. For 50+ courses, there are often limited start dates so I recommend you join the general course, then you have a greater chance of finding a good language group at your level, on a date of your preference. The biggest difference between the general and 50+ course is usually the extra after-course activities that are organised. We can always have a look at the average age within a particular school if you are in doubt.
”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 24, 2023Is Malaga bike friendly? And if so, are there opportunities to rent bikes in Malaga?“Malaga is definitely a bike-friendly city. We can recommend these bike rental companies that our students used during their stay: Recyclobike, Malaga Bike Tours and Bike Tours Malaga. ”Olga, Administration from Debla - Mar 17, 2023Is it possible to book junior courses outside of the summer months?“Most juniors courses take place during the summer months, but some schools also offer junior courses during spring and fall. You can find the start dates for junior courses on the schools profile page. ”Louise Granath, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 01, 2023Is it possible to join a course in summer?

I also want a school where it is easy to access shops and accommodation nearby, as I cannot walk very far. Can you advise me, please?“In Malaga, Spanish programmes for students over 50s are available in March, April, September, October, and November. In any other month, you can participate in a Spanish course with students of mixed ages. The school in Malaga with the more mature students throughout the year is Academia CILE - the average age of the students is 37 years old.
Teachers have plenty of experience in having students of all ages and adapting the content and rhythm of the class to students regardless of their age.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 17, 2022I am looking for a 1-week course for mature students and advanced Spanish speakers. Is this something you can help me with?“The average age of the students at Academia CILE in Malaga is 36 years old throughout the year. The school offers Spanish programs suitable for all levels: A1 to C2.
A test to assess your exact language level takes place before the start of the course via an online form. This way, the school can place you in the right group.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 31, 2022Are there schools where the courses are for a longer period (ie 3 months), where there are no new groups of students every week?“The schools in Malaga are open year-round and students are arriving every Monday. There are no closed groups for a certain period.
You can join an existing group and new students can join your group afterward.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 17, 2022FAQ about courses in Malaga

What does shared flat mean? What is the difference with a mini-apartment? As they are still minors, can they still sleep in the flats? They would not like to stay with a host family.“The schools offer various types of accommodation: a flat is usually equipped with 3-4 bedrooms, 1 kitchen (equipped), 1 living room (TV), 1 bathroom. A mini-apartment usually consists of 1-2 bedrooms, 1 (equipped) kitchen, 1 living room (TV), 1 bathroom. Mini-apartments are therefore shared by fewer students. Some schools accept students from the age of 16 in residence, others require students to be of age. If you are unsure which schools may allow minors to stay in the residence, ask one of our agents for help and we will be happy to assist you. ”Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 26, 2024I live in Fuengirola but want to do a course in Malaga.

If they are the same, why is one a lot more expensive than the other?“Yes, most of the offered apartments have kitchenettes and utensils. The cost of the apartment depends on its location in the city, the more expensive the apartment is, the closer to the city center, as well as its condition, including the condition of the furniture and the availability of household items. ”Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 13, 2023How much time do I have before I have to sign up for the Spanish course?
“Usually, our company and schools do not set a final date by which you need to complete your booking reservation. The cost of the course remains the same throughout the year and does not change. However, I always tell my students to complete their reservations the earlier the better. That way we have time to confirm your enrollment, the school has time to form a group of students, and have time to find accommodation for the student.
”Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 13, 2023What is the difference between a residence and a shared apartment?“A residence is usually closer to the school, maybe even on school grounds, where you stay with several students in one building. A shared apartment is often a normal apartment, where maybe 3-5 students live, but in the building itself live mostly locals.”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 01, 2022course destinations
