Reviews by former students who attended a course in San Sebastian
Quality of teaching. Consistent high energy and great balance between focus areas (e.g. listening, conversation, grammar etc) and methods (role play, games, memory quizzes etc).
All around amazing experience. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Very helpful and well organised
Like to learn more about typical Basque and Spanish customs and traditions (food, celebrations, life, etc.), like to take short out-of-town tours to neighbouring towns or districts.

I was there for 4 weeks and really loved my experience at Aula Azul and would definitely recommend it to others. All the teachers were fantastic and staff were super lovely. Lessons were fun and interesting and covered a range of themed topics, vocabulary, grammar and I learned a lot and got lots of speaking practise in the classes which I liked. I also recommend the private classes too as it's good to work on specific things you need more practise with and get more one on one support and speaking practice. They organised lots of activities; Sidraria in the old town, Queseria visit in the country, pinxos, language exchanges while I was there in August so it was great to meet other students and I met lots of really nice and interesting people from around the world of all ages. I wasn't sure if there would be other 30-somethings there but was presently surprised by how many were there at the same time so that was a nice surprise too. Location was amazing, very central and a couple minutes walk to the main beach. Perfect for an after class dip. They even gave me the opportunity to do an exam in the middle of my course to test my level across different areas and get feedback on the things I could improve which was very helpful.

Course: Spanish and Surf - 2 weeks
Student age: 41 years
Loved the teachers and teaching, location of the school was awesome, many classmates also paired their classes with surf in the afternoon and it seemed like an awesome time! Also recommend the private classes, they’re like a conversation that evolves with your level, although they are, of course, pretty tiring for the brain.

Q&A - Questions and answers about San Sebastian
- Is there a metro in San Sebastián?“Yes, there is a relatively modern metro called "TOPO" in San Sebastián with 2 lines, 21 stops and a route length of 29.8 KM.”Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 13, 2023My son and a friend would like to obtain a DELE A2 certificate. They have no knowledge of the Spanish language yet. What does the learning path look like for them?“It is important that they build basic knowledge in general Spanish courses before they can start the DELE exam preparation. The minimum level for which a DELE exam can be taken is A2. For this level you must have followed intensive Spanish lessons for about 3 months.
A DELE exam preparation course is usually around 4 weeks. So they could do the following to get DELE A2:
- 2 months Intensive Course 20 (on its own or combined with private lessons for faster progress, conversation, surfing, etc.)
- 1 month Intensive Course 20 + DELE private lessons exam preparation.”Robin R. Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - May 04, 2022FAQ about courses in San Sebastian
