Student comments about "Intensive Course" at Debla
Peter
"Both sections, oral and written in part, were very good."
Rossana
"a good course"
Bengt
"Too large a group and too many people who had several weeks of course behind them mixed with complete beginners. Not an optimal solution right away. Didn't like when the course was in the evening, the day was ruined especially if you lived far from the school and had half board with lunch."
Sue
"4 x 50 min study per day was perfect for me, as I studied for 9 weeks at Debla. There was homework 3-4x per week, which could take you 1-2 hours, depending on your knowledge. It's essential to take the time to do this properly as it supports your work for the following day and reinforces what you have learnt in class. I expected it to be challenging and I would say it was slightly more difficult, and tiring, than I expected. This was primarily because of all the new vocabulary and grammar I was learning. "
Francois
"I only had 13 hours of lessons, instead of the 20 I paid for!!!"
Dorota
"I would like to give soecial thanks to Maria and Pepe - open minding lessons"
Josephine
"Instructive.
Bring cash for coffee."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Student comments about "50+ Course" at Debla
Dieter
"Expectations met"
Martin
"It was nice to have a mix of people from different countries, but also to have post-university students in their late 20s and early 30s. Perhaps it should be called "mature students" - 50+ age should not be a restriction."
Gertraud
"Is there then a 50 + course?
I was in a course with 17 year olds, 30 year olds and 70 year olds!"
Liesbeth
"It was not clear that the activities did not take place with the class but with several schools. Class is a mix, sometimes also people of 17 or 18.
I booked 2 more days of school for 32 euro per day. Remarkable because the 50 plus was above 500 for 2 weeks while there were hardly any large excursions that were included."
Lynn
"I learned a lot from my super tutors who put a huge amount of energy into helping me learn more about the language of Spain. The course was too advanced for me at this moment so I came home after the first week but as I live in Spain I can work at home to make the best use of my course work. Please thank my tutors. They were super!!!"

“The experience overall was exceptional. Teachers were very motivated, friendly and organized. The classes had a good size, around 6-8 students depending on the days. On the first day I found out that with 4 hours (4x50min) of classes, you have 2h of grammar and 2h of conversation. It is a very good split, the teachers adapt very well to the level of the class and keep everyone involved. The school is a bit up the hill about 300m from the sea with fabulous views from the bright classrooms and the terraces. I can definitely recommend Debla.”
“Nothing negative to tell.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: The DELE exam preparation class that I took focused a lot on speaking and organizing a talk to prepare for the speaking part of the exam. The teachers were very challenging, which was exactly what I needed to make progress with my speaking.

“I really like the culture of the school. It's small and friendly, and the teachers do their best to make you feel comfortable and part of the Debla family. The teachers are professional and courteous of everyone - we had a wide mix of cultures, age ranges in our class - and I always felt part of the class and made welcome. The grammar lessons were particularly strong and well structured - although quite challenging - which I liked! The teachers were really kind and funny - and made even difficult lessons great fun!”
“This was my first experience of a language school and I think I had unrealistic expectations of what I could achieve in conversation classes. My grammar was at a higher level than my speaking and I felt that this impeded my learning and my conversation. I would recommend that someone considering a language school, ask questions about how conversation classes are run and how you might expect to improve, so your expectations are realistic.”
Insider tip: “I would recommend this experience for anyone who is serious about learning languages - but you get out what you put in - so expect it to be hard work. I would also recommend that you search for an Intercambio (a native speaker that wants to learn English) to practice informal conversations in addition to having lessons at the school. This will help you build your confidence with native speakers. There are lots of websites where you can connect with people (safely) to do this. It's brilliant meeting classmates from all over the world. This is also something that makes the experience fascinating. Finally, think carefully about your accommodation. You might learn more quickly if you are living with a host family versus in student accommodation, where you might be with others that may not be able to communicate in Spanish due to their level.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: 4 x 50 min study per day was perfect for me, as I studied for 9 weeks at Debla. There was homework 3-4x per week, which could take you 1-2 hours, depending on your knowledge. It's essential to take the time to do this properly as it supports your work for the following day and reinforces what you have learnt in class. I expected it to be challenging and I would say it was slightly more difficult, and tiring, than I expected. This was primarily because of all the new vocabulary and grammar I was learning.
Other comments Overall a great school with passionate teachers and a good range of activities. I had an excellent 9 weeks at the school.

“The teachers were super nice and funny and it was fun to learn! I learned a lot in the 2 weeks and would have liked to have extended the time. The afternoon activities are not organized by the school itself, but by another organization that then offers them to all schools. As a result, the school does not have so many options to control what is on offer. Nevertheless, everything was there, from museums and beach volleyball tournaments to trips to Seville or Granada.”

“The school's location, learning materials, teachers' preparation for the class, some teachers had a very motivating way of conducting the lessons. The organisation of the excursions with an amazing guide Lorenzo - the information was passed on in an understandable and interesting way.
Nice atmosphere at the school.”
“Additional activities inadequate to their price - entry to the Wine Museum costs 15 euros without a guide, where atthe place itself the price was 5 euros for tourists, 3 euros for groups - you could feel cheated. Flamenco classes without music, in a place unsuitable for such activities, interrupted by a long telephone conversation of the teacher - embarrassing.
Too many explanations in English - people who did not know it felt lost, some classes lacked tasks integrating and activating the group”
Insider tip: “To learn Spanish you need to know English very well...
Before departure you should check when the bank holidays fall as the classes do not take place on those dates (it is included in terms and conditions, but it can be missed)”

Quality of teaching / language progress: I learned a lot from my super tutors who put a huge amount of energy into helping me learn more about the language of Spain. The course was too advanced for me at this moment so I came home after the first week but as I live in Spain I can work at home to make the best use of my course work. Please thank my tutors. They were super!!!

“Very nice people, good ambience, location very nice with good views, but exhausting to walk every day 8 minutes up the hill. You certainly don't want to do that 2x a day if you have deposited something there, since the school is also a bit outside the center.”
“That everything only goes via the Internet such as appointment changes.
If you don't look at your phone all the time, you're not informed. Changes to the program or schedule can be announced the day before in class?
Regarding the accommodation, I would have expected it to be tested and known by the school - not just by phone. After a change: very good.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: Is there then a 50 + course?

“A family-friendly atmosphere, many age groups represented, super friendly teachers who are passionate about their job, beautiful classrooms and school overall, varied and fun activities, relatively central location.”
“There's really nothing negative to say. Perhaps only that the school is located on a narrow one-way street with limited parking, and on top of a hill. This makes it difficult to get there by car and strenuous to get there by bike. My recommendation: walk or take the bus!”

The atmosphere”
“Unfortunately, the classes were not at my level on the 1st day, even though I had pointed this out before the start of the course (I was not listened to on this point).
A test before the course started would have avoided having to change classes during the week.
I was then placed in a class that was in its 2nd week (lesson 5)”

“The price/quality ratio, the location of the school, the organisation and facilities were very good. The excursion to Seville was very well organised, as was the city tour.”
“I cannot rate the quality of the teaching as very good. The teachers spoke very quickly, so I often didn't understand the tasks and explanations. I was at level A2. The blackboards in the grammar section were not structured, it was written chaotically. I would have liked to see a coloured picture to memorise the word endings or something similar. The language section was okay, with good ideas.”

“Cancellation of activities at the last moments due to lack of people, no volleyball on the beach, reductions in the number of lessons without prior warning when the number of students is less than 3, the cooking activity a little expensive (more than EUR 30) to learn how to make an omelette (tortilla) without meat, fish or drinks.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: It was nice to have a mix of people from different countries, but also to have post-university students in their late 20s and early 30s. Perhaps it should be called "mature students" - 50+ age should not be a restriction.

“Debla went to great lengths for the excursions. The teachers were also patient and tried their best.”
“In the beginning we were in the wrong class. It was a total letdown, especially for my husband, as he had booked a course for beginners with little prior knowledge of the Spanish language. It was not communicated that there was no course for beginners, in the 2nd week it was better. He hadn't benefited much and I was halfway through.”

“Students change per week, therefore there is a difference in learned material, which causes delays. Many changing teachers, especially in the first week.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: It was not clear that the activities did not take place with the class but with several schools. Class is a mix, sometimes also people of 17 or 18.
I booked 2 more days of school for 32 euro per day. Remarkable because the 50 plus was above 500 for 2 weeks while there were hardly any large excursions that were included.
Other comments I like the teachers, but sometimes it was a bit messy. Nevertheless, I had a good time, but I needed some time to adjust.

Student comments about Homestay
Sabine
"I liked the accommodation in the host family very much. Everything was clean and tidy. The food was also very good."
Gertraud
"The landlady Merce is obviously dependent on the rental of her entire apartment for a living. But for that she would have to make a little more effort, especially with food (on the 3rd day I understood that I have to prepare myself the very spartan breakfast) and as dinner came a ready meal 2 min in the microwave - she never ate with me.
Aurora, my 2nd hostess, was very kind, eager - was ready at any time - after my program - to prepare the delicious food and eat with me. The distance to the school and beach were optimal. I would gladly come back to her anytime."

Student comments about Shared Apartment
Horen
"The shared apartment was clean and well located near the beach, school and several supermarkets. My room was the smallest (around 7 m²) but quiet (well, that also depends on the roommates and neighbors)."
Christelle
"The accommodation was perfect"
Andreas
"I got a room at a great apartment that I shared with 4 other roommates. The apartment was very clean, just renovated, right down from the school and directly on the beach. My single room was tiny (about 7sqm or 80sqft, that's why I gave the room only 4 stars), but clean and sufficient to study with a courtyard view. The other 4 rooms were bigger and had views of the beach. Some minor inconveniences in the apartment, but the school remedied these within a day."
Hannah
"My flat share was great, the walls are relatively thin, but you can find new people very quickly. The location was also amazing because we were on a side street off the great Calle Marques de Larios. I was lucky that we had our apartment at the top of the house (including the roof terrace)."
Questions and answers about Debla
- Is it possible to book one room for three people in the host family? We are three people.“Yes, we can offer triple rooms for people travelling, depending on availability. Price per person in the triple room is the same as in a double room.”Zulaika, Adminstration from Debla, Malaga - Dec 16, 2024
- Which months can I do a Spanish course combined with paddle boarding?“If you are looking for paddle boarding lessons, it is good to know that this combination is actually only offered in the summer months (Apr-Oct). This is because in the winter months, the sea is too rough for paddle boarding. However, if you are already a good surfer you could do water sports in the north of Spain in winter.”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 18, 2024
- I am an advanced learner, will I benefit from a course?“Even if you are advanced, you will definitely benefit from the course.

- Does this school participate in the Erasmus+ programme?“Yes, Debla, Malaga school participates in the Erasmus+ programme.”Aurora Jiménez, Administración from Debla - Jun 19, 2023
- I generally don't eat breakfast. Could I book half board in a host family, but instead of breakfast and dinner, get lunch and dinner?“Yes, sometimes this is possible. Lunch in Spain, however, is a much more elaborate meal compared to breakfast, so there will be an extra cost per day.¡
If you want to have the exact same food for lunch as is offered for breakfast then this is no problem. Just leave a note in the remarks when booking.”Olga Vjatere, Administración from Debla - Feb 17, 2023 - I want to take part in a 1-week course of Spanish language for 50+ at Debla in February or March. Do you have any courses available?
“The first 50+ programme starts in April and is available as a one or two week programme. The course is then repeated throughout the year in May, September and October.”Fraser Provan , LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 07, 2022 - Are there cooking facilities in the shared apartment?“In case of accommodation in the shared apartment there is a kitchen, which can be used by all residents together.”Olga, Administration from Debla - Nov 28, 2022
- I have a tight schedule and I can attend school for 3 weekdays only. Can you offer any possibilities although I do not have a full week available? I am currently studying DELE B1.“Private lessons tailored to your needs can be organized on 3 weekdays. You can focus on general Spanish or the DELE Exam if you wish.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 10, 2022
- My son is 17. Would it be possible for him to attend the Standard Course or the only possible option is the Junior Programme?“In the summer, students from 12 to 17 years old can attend the Junior Programme. In case your son would like to attend the Standard Programme, this is also possible as the minimum required age is 16 years old.”Ana Carolina, LanguageCourse.net - Jun 16, 2022
