Positive aspects of school
"Enthusiasm"
Negative aspects
"Towards me: started in libro 1 unidad 5.
Week 1 fine, week 2 libro 1 unidad 3 (people included who had never had Spanish before.
Week 3 back to the beginning, again with people who had not had any Spanish,
There were no groups for me to follow (therefore following groups libro 5.
I was told that I could learn to speak better this way.
Didn't go to school again after day 1 in the 4th week, due to repetition.
Waste of time and money!"

"Fierce, but great!"
Accommodation
"A regular complete cleaning, especially of the floor, would be highly advisable! And that every now and then it is checked which pots are suitable for an induction oven. A new kettle, repairs to completely broken shutters, checking the towels, which cost 30 euros each if lost (cleaning rags often look better) and at least one new frying pan from Ikea.... In general, I wondered what the cleaners there do when they prepare the rooms for new students."

"Good location, people are really gentle, kind and open to help you."
Negative aspects
"Most of teachers seems bored and not really interested in their job, social activities are close to zero, neither a welcome aperitif or party.
First day you have to understand which class is better for you. I wouldn't recommend it."

"I had a great teacher in Maria for my additional private lessons. She explained everything clearly and quickly removed my speech barrier."
Accommodation
"Very nice host family and everything is very clean! However, if you want to do something in the evening, you either need a car, scooter or stay in a central location in the school shared flat. Half board is not what we are used to with breakfast and a hot meal, but there is the option of making your own breakfast/dinner with yoghurt, fruit, bread and sausage/jam or cereals."

"The weeks I was there both had a day off. The missed hours that arose as a result were not compensated in time or the return of tuition fees."
Accommodation
"The apartment smelled unpleasant and was also quite dirty when I arrived. I immediately bought some cleaning products and did some cleaning. During my stay there was someone who cleaned twice, which was nice. The communal kitchen was very small, not suitable for several people to cook."

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
"I think a map from the accommodation to the school is a must!! Myself and another girl got lost and spent 40 minutes walking around. The taxi driver also didn't know he had to go to the school first and took me straight to accommodation and I had to explain in my limited Spanish that I needed to go to the school first. Also I was unaware there was wifi in my accommodation. There was no posters in flat explaining this and I couldn't find the code to enter on phone so had no wifi for duration of stay."
