Student opinions about El Carmen Spanish School, Valencia

Liked
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.
Disliked
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!

The noise. At times I found it difficult to hear the other students, sometimes from noise downstairs but also because the noise echoed in the classroom.

The location in the old town
Disliked
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.

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

Questions and answers about El Carmen Spanish 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
  • 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
