Reviews of Linguamania, Vigo, Spain

Lucia is a very nice person and great teacher. I have learnt quite a lot in just 20 hours. Very pleasant learning atmosphere.

Sometimes it was a little cold in the classroom, due to the fact that the course was around the christmas holidays and the other classrooms were mostly empty.

Very nice, close to the beach

It was good to have single lessons so I could ask questions at any time and learn at my own pace.

Homestay, apartment

Centrally located. Competent teachers. Pleasant, informal atmosphere.

Vigo is a city with a high quality of life.

Super! I learnt a lot in a short time. I'll continue the course online when I get back.

Friendly teachers and staff, felt like a family

An interesting city with a good location by the Atlantic Ocean, easy to reach by bus, many good excursion destinations.

Nice responsive teachers, always adapting the level.

We stayed in the home of the woman who owned/was responsible for the school. Very nice and personal. No arranged activities outside the school, but that was probably because the activities have not started for the autumn yet. However, we received many good tips on excursions etc. on our own that we used.

Good content at the level I'm at.

Lovely town by the sea, lovely with the slopes, we took escalators and lifts up the town.

Good level, friendly and dedicated staff

Very nice, dedicated landlord. Took us on a trip to Tui, very nice.

The personal contact and the short distances

Cies Islands, Cangas, Tui. And for hikers, Zamán.

Public transport: quite well developed with an acceptable timetable. The bus station for regional buses is on the outskirts. Vigo card for urban transport (with reduced fares) is only available to citizens of the city. Tourists have to pay the full fare (currently 1.35 EUR/trip without the option to change trains). Climate: inconsistent weather. Rain can hardly be predicted. You don't need to expect excessive heat, rather a mix of sun and clouds. Affordability: relatively cheap for me; With every drink (including coffee!) there is usually a tapa, so that you don't really need a "main course". Public transport prices at the usual level in Spain. Shopping: not too many shops in the city center, the usual shopping centers a bit outside. Each district has its own small center with small shops.

Price-performance ratio: relatively expensive school in comparison with other cities, whereby the teaching quality is only on average. Teaching quality: The (very) young teacher did very well. But it was clearly noticed that she lacked experience. That is unfortunate especially in the advanced course.
