"The quality of the lessons in the morning was very good, the teacher Laura was excellent. I also really liked the location of the school and our accommodation."
Negative aspects
"The classrooms are quite cramped, poor air quality. I didn't like the afternoon lessons either, two levels were combined and the topics were mostly nonsense for me."

"The city is really beautiful and there are lots of things to discover. The local transport is excellently organised and super cheap. Otherwise, however, Barcelona is very expensive and you also have to budget a lot of money for the sights."

Negative aspects
"There were a lot of native speakers, or students who had been speaking the language perfectly for a very long time.
And for me it was a bit difficult to choose the level of proficiency, because even in the beginners' groups they were almost perfect speakers, but grammar was taught much later.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that for me the speaking and vocabulary part is a bit lacking, but I know the grammar almost perfectly."

"Very exciting."

"I liked it, it was very worth it.
It was a bit tiring.
What I didn't like was that I think the classes started very late (10 am), so most of our afternoon was "wasted" because we finished very late and had to go home, so we had very few activities for the rest of the day."

"It is one of the nicest places to live in Europe. Many museums and Gaudi's architecture make your private time enjoyable. However, you can't count on the cleanliness of the city. You should always take care of your belongings and keep an eye on them."
Accommodation
"My house is located about a 7-minute walk from the train station. The rooms are nicely furnished, in a slightly unique European antique style, and the host mother offered me a home-cooked Spanish meal. However, as dinner time in Europe is quite late, you have to adjust your time."

- no structure
- no homework
- no assistance
- NOT A SINGLE blackboard
- lessons were always started at least 15 minutes late
- no comments regarding pronunciation or correctness of words/sentences
- there were students in the A2 course who could not even form the simplest sentences- or answer questions.
I literally threw the money out the window. I ended up taking my language course at another school."

"I am a rarity as a student at Kingsbrook, of this I am aware; hence my comments may not be valid for the majority of students in their 20/30s and at the very least bilingual. I am a mature Australian TEFL teacher and I only speak English with no learning of any Latin language. I enrolled in Beginners assuming that it was for students with ZERO Spanish. However, as the teacher, who was very nice and enthusiastic, never spoke any English at all, she did actions to identify what was required even when it was obvious myself and two other students, one who was tearful on two occasions, had no understanding of what was expected. The second week our teacher changed to Marta (Marina) who adapted her lessons according to our abilities, which is commonsense. I found my learning the second week was excellent and value for the money paid. The class asked questions and interaction was very good. I am very disappointed I did not have Marta for the first week , as she took time to explain in whatever way worked and even a new student was interactive.
Estella, the first teacher is very talented but more suited to confident students, she lacks the understanding of what students feel if they constantly do not understand.
As a TEFL teacher, I would not have any students if I did not use a work around to ensure my students understood what was required."

"I wish that we should have spoken more at the lectures. A good idea is to split the lesson in two parts. The first part with grammar and the second part with speaking. An easy way to solve that problem. I went there to learn how to speak, but I think there was too much writing. But I really liked our teacher Lydia. She was very kind and funny!!"
