Liked
The staff and the teachers are extremely supportive and welcoming and the classes are fun. Elena is a great teacher who knows many modern methods including games and digital learning techniques. Don’t worry about not comprehending the spoken language: The teachers all speak standard Spanish in their classes instead of the local accent. ;) We were round about 10 students in our class, which I liked a lot, because it made it easy to interact and make friends. In general I have met a lot of fun people and there wasn’t one dull moment. The evening activities organized by the school are varied and range from cultural events to sports and sightseeing. In addition it is a great tradition that the school holds an assembly every Friday after classes to officially say goodbye to all students who have their last day.
Disliked
Just one tiny thing: I felt like the 10 minutes oral interview prior to the course wasn’t quite enough to assess the learner’s level. Personally I had the impression to have been placed in a slightly too high class whereas others, who spoke much better than me, were assigned a lower level. I am also sure I could have changed to another class but honestly, I liked my group a lot and didn’t want to start over in a new class with other people. So maybe, just as a suggestion, it would be a good idea to complement the interview with a written exam for a more accurate placement? Still, as I said, I am 100% sure the school would have allowed me to change my class.

FAQ about Expanish, Malaga

  • Depending on the time of year, the school is more likely to have representatives of one nationality or another, but we cannot rank by country, as we have students from all over the world all year round.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 13, 2023
  • The Resa Centro residence in Malaga is generally well-rated for its central location and modern facilities. However, when it comes to tranquility, it seems that it may not be completely calm. Indeed, being located in the heart of the city, near busy areas, it can be subject to noise pollution, particularly because of traffic and surrounding activities.

    That said, individual rooms with air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, and other services like 24-hour security and well-equipped study spaces, provide a comfortable setting for residents. Common areas such as the chill-out terrace and fitness room also add to the comfort, but these areas can sometimes contribute to some noise activity, particularly during student gatherings.

    If absolute quiet is a priority, it might be worth requesting a room facing away from the main streets or choosing less busy times to stay there.
    Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Aug 09, 2024
