What we like about the school
  • Free Tandem language exchange programme.
  • Free assistance in finding flats for long-term students.
What we dislike about the school
  • Younger students should consider that the average age of students at this school is significantly higher than at most other schools.
  • Do not offer favorable cancellation terms in the case of a student getting a visa rejected.
  • Lessons are 45 minutes long, which is shorter than in other schools.

The school building with its Andalusian style, its friendly classrooms and its beautiful patio retains much of the charm and intimacy of a family home. It is situated in a quiet location just 10 minutes away from the city centre.

Location: Escuela Montalbán Granada is located in the culturally rich, Andalusian city of Granada, in the south of Spain. Housed in the residential area of Barrio Figares, the school enjoys a family atmosphere and has many amenities and services close by. Within walking distance of the school are attractions and sites of interest such as the Fuente de las Batallas, the Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo, the Fuente de Las Granadas and more. The Alhambra is around a 35-minute walk from the school.

Course selection: Escuela Montalbán Granada provides Spanish courses suitable for students of all levels, various interests and over several schedules and intensities. In addition to General Spanish, the school also provides Spanish at a Teacher's Home, Writing & Conversation programmes, private tuition and several combination courses of Spanish with additional subjects such as Arabic Culture, Culture Workshops, Federico Garcia Lorca and Walking tours with photography.

Social and cultural: The school promotes Spanish and Andalusian cultures, offering students a vast social programme throughout the year. Attractions and excursions can include trekking and horse-riding in the Sierra Nevada, guided tours, wine tastings, theatre shows, flamenco events and much more.

I was warmly welcomed at the school and immediately provided with all the information I needed, both verbally and in writing. The lesson times were ideal for me, as was the organisation of the lessons. Our two teachers, Pablo and Fransisco, were committed, extremely competent and very empathetic - I was more than impressed. If I were ever to attend a language course again, this school would be my absolute first choice. Everything was just right here - the organisation, the composition of the learning group, the provision of teaching materials and, above all, our teachers. Respect and many thanks for that.
Insider tip: Depending on your interests, you should take as many activities with you as possible.

Quality of teaching / language progress: Perfect organisation, suited my needs exactly.

The thing that I liked most about the school is that they managed to make learning Spanish fun. Normally during my classes in University the classes seem to take forever. But in Escuela Montalban time passes like no other. This is definitely because of the teachers the school employs. All teachers keep you engaged throughout the entire class with fun games, constantly asking questions, fun current topics to talk about.
Insider tip: I would definitely recommend that you stay for a minimum period of 4 weeks so that you can really feel at home in the Spanish culture. Trust me, if you decide to take a language course here you will not be disappointed.
Review details
Other comments Besides the awesome teachers Escuela Montalban has, they also make sure that you experience Spanish culture to the fullest. They plan cultural activities every day and on weekends they even offer scuba diving, hiking in the Alpujarras, and a weekend in Morocco. I cannot wait to go back!

The school is not a large one so that the number of enrolled students can be very small at specific times of the year. The end of the August is such time. Even if there were some cultural or social activities planned, they were cancelled because there weren't enough students to carry out such activities. So those who are considering to study at this school should keep that in mind.
Insider tip: Flamenco shows in Alhambra and the cinema in the hill top in summer.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: I studied at this school for two weeks, and the first week, there were very few students and I ended up with taking one to one lesson with one of the professors, Paco. It was the first time that I took such a lesson, and his way of teaching is very practical, creative, and a lot of fun! I really appreciate it.
Other comments The atmosphere of the school is really relaxed yet professional. The staff are sympathetic and keep a comfortable distance from their clients.

I particularly liked the humor and ease with which the teachers approached the lessons. This immediately created a relaxed, positive and extremely funny learning atmosphere in our group. The focus was on the conversation, but there were plenty of suggestions through various exercises and games. Grammar and vocabulary were then incorporated rather incidentally.
Insider tip: You should definitely not miss the wonderful flamenco evening! And if you are looking to connect, you should definitely join the leisure activities.
Review details
Other comments The school is small and neat, with a beautiful inner courtyard. In the immediate vicinity there are a churreria and various tapas bars, as well as smaller hotels. The private accommodation may be appropriate for schoolkids and students, otherwise I would definitely recommend looking for the accommodation yourself.

All the teachers I met were very kind and friendly, accurate and experienced while teaching at the same time. They managed to smoothly coordinate the group of members with diverse age, nationality and personality. The lessons were exciting, not only had my language skills been developed but my knowledge about the country, the culture, and the people too.

I found the concept of being taught by several teachers to be very good, as it enabled me to get to know different ways of speaking. The teachers were very nice and we really had fun in the group during the week.
Insider tip: You should participate in one of the flamenco concerts in the Taller de Arte Vimaambi

Other comments The billing seems a bit confusing, especially since at the end of the course we had to pay 54 EUR for an additional night in our "family accommodation", which was more like a private pension.

The people that work there, including the manager, his secretary, and all the teachers are extremely friendly, fun, warm, and knowledgeable. I had reserved for one week, then extended it to two weeks, and then the day before leaving reserved for a third week, I was enjoying myself so much. The apartment that we were assigned to was very big and had everything we could need, and we made friends and had a lot of fun while living there.
