“The school is centrally located. The atmosphere is friendly. In addition to the lessons, there are activities for all students that give them an understanding of Spain and Valencia in particular.”
“The classrooms were very poor. They were more like makeshift rooms than proper classrooms. Much too small, no tables to be able to write properly. There was only a circle of chairs made of cheap plastic chairs where the backrest almost buckled if you tried to sit down.”

“The location in the old town”
“It wasn't a course, but blocks of 2 hours each, always with different participants. As beginners, we were overwhelmed on the first day. The methodology and didactics were old-fashioned, the "Nuremberg funnel" method, and the planned material was pushed through. There was little interaction, our speaking went to zero, and when it happened, pronunciation was rarely corrected.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: There was no recognisable structure, each 2-hour block had its own topics, there was no recognisable connection.Other comments: Rooms very small, stuffy, windows could not be open, the chairs incredibly uncomfortable, the small folding tables at the chairs not sufficient

“- Well organised.
- My teacher was great, patient, sympathetic, supportive.”
“- Very complicated to change levels: a 5-page test has to be taken, for which you may need a lot of time and then the change takes place the following week; a simple recommendation from the teacher would be much easier and quicker.
- The A.1 Plus course I was put in is unfortunately very mixed, i.e. complete beginners and people who are already on the way to A2 have lessons together, someone is always bored and others are overtaxed, which is not good.
- The activities sounded interesting, but I was always unable to take part because I had a course.”

“The location of the school is good, it is right in the centre.”
“During my three months at the school, we had a constant change of teachers, content was repeated over and over again and no C1 course was set up despite having enough people with the appropriate level, so I couldn't make any great progress. Some of the classrooms are indoors without windows, so there is hardly any ventilation. During autumn/winter, no leisure activities are offered.”

“Awesome!!!
Teachers very enthusiastic and patient. Make a lot of effort to make you understand everything! Nice varied lessons you also get to know the Spanish culture through the lessons.”
“The only minus point was that I came into class the first day and there was not even a proposal round. However, this was discussed with the teacher and with students who came in later during the week, a proposal round was made so something was immediately done with it!”

“David was a real hit as a teacher - inspiring, motivating, dynamic - had the strongly changing group firmly under control - over 2 x 2 time hours!”
“Small classrooms without daylight and fresh air - uncomfortable plastic chairs with folding tables for writing. Groups vary widely with up to 10 participants. Leisure activities only for younger participants. Non-transparent planning system. Organisers sometimes unresponsive. Would not visit the school again and would not recommend it for older participants.”

Questions and answers about El Carmen Spanish School

Can I also opt for fewer group lessons per week instead of 20 group lessons per week?
“Most schools only offer an intensive course of 20 lessons per week, but El Carmen in Valencia also offers the option of 4, 6, 10 or 20 group lessons in one week, which can also be combined with 5 private lessons. For when you need more space to learn at your pace.”
Robin Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 17, 2022
I have level A2, but my husband is a complete beginner. We are planning to start the course on the same day. Will we be in the same group?
“Even if you start the course on the same day you will be placed in different groups as you have different level of Spanish. The school will send you an online level test which you need to complete 1-2 weeks before your arrival so you could be placed in the right group with the students who have the same level like you. Your husband does not need to complete a level test. He will be placed in a group for complete beginners. ”
Irina, Language Travel Consultant Russian from Languagecourse - May 06, 2022
​​​Do you offer private lessons out of the school's premises? We are interested in booking private lessons but the teacher must go to the student, not the school.
“No, I am afraid we don't offer lessons out of the school's premises. Private lessons can be online or at the school.”
Patrizia Russo, Administration Manager & Marketing from El Carmen Spanish School - Feb 25, 2022
