Location: AIL Madrid is located in the culturally rich Spanish capital city, Madrid. Housed in the Salamanca neighbourhood, the school is close to several commercial shops, many eateries, links to public transport and several attractions. AIL Madrid is 500m from El Retiro Park and within walking distance of sites such as the Puerta de Alcalá, Cybele Fountain, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the Museo Nacional del Prado and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. It is well-positioned for students to enjoy all the city has to offer.

Course selection: The school provides many Spanish courses suitable to students of all levels. AIL Madrid also runs several other courses throughout the year, including Club 50+, Exam Preparation (DELE, SIELE), Internships, and combination programmes of Spanish and other subjects such as art, cooking and dance.

Getting around: The school is within a moment's walk from several subway stations (Retiro, Goya, Velázquez, O'Donnell), bus stops and train stations (Recoletos).

“I thought that Julia & her staff did their best to lend a hand when needed. I sincerely appreciate the efforts that Julia gave. During my third week at the school, I attended the B1 intensive Spanish language programme. This was an outstanding experience. The students in the class were at the same language learning level and the teachers (2:1 in the first part and 1 in the second part of each school day) were outstanding. I would highly recommend the intensive programme to all.”
Disliked
“I attended two different language programmes: the two-week senior programme and a one-week intensive programme. I began with the two-week Senior Programme. The teacher was out for 3 days which left the class with only 7 out of 10 days of continuous instruction from her. The substitute teacher didn't seem to have any lesson plan or focus to her lesson. As a result little was learned by the class when the substitute showed up.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: The intensive course was outstanding.

“I really appreciated the teacher (Miriam), very competent, kind and communicative. Also, I appreciated the diversity of the group (5 nationalities, various ages from 17 to 63).”
Disliked
“Only when we arrived in Madrid did we understand that our main contact was actually an intermediary. A direct contact with the school could have avoided some misunderstandings.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Interesting offers, which allow you to be in a different group than the one on the course. I really enjoyed the cooking class, but also all the other offerings.
Other comments We thought that we were in direct contact with the school from the beginning and we did not quite understand why this was not the case. Without questioning the competence of the intermediary, a direct contact might have avoided misunderstandings (related to organization, payment, accommodation...). Having said that, once the problems were identified, the school employees (especially Varun) were very supportive. Having heard other people over the age of 50 complain about the accommodation, there may be some room for improvement on that front.

“Beatriz and Ana were excellent teachers. 50+ offer was variable success depending on guidance. Super advanced 'blackboard' with internet connection.”
Disliked
“- I found the test to estimate the level inconvenient. Instead of seeing the results immediately, the answers came via email - The acoustics of the rooms were dramatically bad. Practicing speaking skills in pairs was impossible for me due to the cacophony of sounds that echoed through the room. - The 50+ offer appeared to be in siesta time. This was not clear to me (and neither were any of the other group members). - For the weekend trips to Toledo, Segovia, etc., a tour operator was recommended by the school, which I was not really enthusiastic about. First we stopped at a shop with the intention of buying something. The microphone in the bus did not work and so we did not receive any explanation. Too bad. - On day 1 it was said that we would get subjunctive. That did not really work out because, in line with the level of the group, we were covered all kinds of other subjects such as ser/estar and the different forms of the past tense. Very instructive and useful, but it is still a shame that the subjunctive has been left more or less untreated. I understand that the 'intensive course' uses a fixed structure of a book. Good to know for a possible next opportunity. It was not clear to me beforehand either. Perhaps this could be communicated better.”
Insider tip: “Ask the school where they want to arrange accommodation. I heard a lot of complaints from group members about their accommodation arranged by AIL. Very far from the school, and with few facilities, for example no kettle or hairdryer.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: It was nice to have a group so I felt embedded. Interesting group of people from all over the world. I also liked the freedom not to participate, so I could work off my own wish list, such as El Prado and Thyssen Museum etc. 50+ program was in siesta time. After an intensive morning of lessons + own activities afterwards, it were long, intensive days. So I skipped a few activities to have more time to visit museums.

    - C/ de Juan Esplandiú, 15, bajo, 28007 Madrid
    - C/ de Bárbara de Braganza, 11, 28004 Madrid

    All three locations are very close to each other, within 10-15 minutes walking distance.
