Quality of teaching / language progress

The composition of the group (absolutely different motivation, language skills from A1 to B1.2) made learning impossible. The difficult group also influenced the teaching style of the teacher and her enjoyment of teaching (which I understood). I expected a homogeneous group in terms of language skills - or then, as provided for in the description of the school, individual lessons (with a reduced number of hours). The classification procedure was also very superficial.

My first week was fine, I had nice students and we had the same Level. The next two weeks my efforts were unsuccessful.I was in a group with very Young People and the teaching was very fast paced. I did not know all the Spanish words so I fell behind.

Accommodation

I had a very nice and friendly Lady who always helped. It was a pleasant stay.

I very much enjoyed my class and felt that I learned a lot. Not only did our teacher make us speak (or write) all the time, he also gave us the grammatical background. He explained well and competently and adapted his approach in each unit, addressing each student according to his/her individual abilities. Thank you!

Teacher Cristina should be sent to sensitivity training. I’m physically handicapped and have lots of pain, but she totally ignored my disability to the point I had to quit the course. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE and NOBODY CARED. I was even denied a full refund. SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE. Handicapped people deserve the same respect as able bodied people!!

Personally, I would advise staying in an apartment instead of a host family. Unfortunately, I had a very negative experience with the host family. I had to change my accommodation after 2 days.

I stayed at the business hotel I selected. My classmate who stayed at the apartment chosen by the school had no hot water for 3 days. Since I had afternoon class, I participated in only two social activities, which was okay with me.

There are no Spanish courses during winter. Beginner class of Spanish course is not so easy, it's better to study (a little) before taking the lessons.

Other comments

I learned Spanish for 2 weeks in September. It was the first time I learned that. So I couldn't follow the class, because too difficult for me. But teachers are so kind and nice. I enjoyed to study at the school.
