Positive aspects of school
"Super lessons. Very competent and friendly teachers. The lessons are a bit demanding if you don't have any previous knowledge, but you can learn so much more in return."
Negative aspects
"The school is a bit run-down, despite its top location. Most of the chairs have some kind of damage. The lighting in the toilets does not work or is inadequate. Both the bathrooms and the classrooms are very cramped."

City/place
"Not a city for party people. But great for lying on the beach or hiking in nature all year round. Top public transport and an exceptionally safe city."
Quality of teaching / language progress
"You should have some prior knowledge, despite the A1 beginners' course. This is not necessarily the fault of the teachers. Most participants (even in A1) have at least a solid basic understanding, but still take this course to learn the grammar properly, and the teachers adjust the level to the students' average level."

"I was in a class of four. The teacher (f) I had most of the time seemed to find it very difficult to talk to me. Often she'd ask a question (for example: ¨what did you do yesterday?¨) to everyone but me. Sometimes other classmates also noticed."
Accommodation
"Accommodation: the shower only gave hot water for 1 minute and had no extractors, making it very humid. My room was on a busy road, so you cannot sleep with the window open. Next time I will arrange accommodation myself.
Meals were simple, but I found it very well arranged, it was always pleasant."

"They start a new course on the first Monday of each month. That is good to know if you want to start a course in the beginning of the course book. No information on the website as far as I know.
They arrange excursions every Wednesday, but if you do not stay at their residence you will have to pay double price for the excursions."

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
"When I took the placement test, I asked the staff person to put me in the easier of two levels if I fall between two levels. She didn't. The students in my class were quite a bit more advanced than I. So if that's important to you, insist on it. I know I could have switched the second day, but it's awkward to do so and the staffer should have accommodated my request in the first place."

"The format of the book is a bit old-fashioned, one must first learn to introduce yourself with all nationalities, etc. As I took private lessons I had no use for it. Family composition with cousins, aunts, etc. come before learning to act, order and ask for directions which is more essential given that we are in a Spanish city. Apart from this the book was very good with good practical exercises."

"Be aware of strict cancellation policies, just in case you are not entirely sure how long you are planning to stay, because you might not be refunded. Also, the majority of students are older people and pensioners, all very nice and kind, however if you are in your twenties or thirties and want to meet new friends this might not be the best option."
