Student comments about "Standard Course 20" at Spanish Language School Gran Canaria
Oliver
"Just right for me, only a week too short."
Ridvan
"You should have some prior knowledge, despite the A1 beginners' course. This is not necessarily the fault of the teachers. Most participants (even in A1) have at least a solid basic understanding, but still take this course to learn the grammar properly, and the teachers adjust the level to the students' average level."
Dhiradj
"I was in a class of four. The teacher (f) I had most of the time seemed to find it very difficult to talk to me. Often she'd ask a question (for example: ¨what did you do yesterday?¨) to everyone but me. Sometimes other classmates also noticed. "
Loïc
"You have to pay 5 EUR to get a certificate at the end of course. Too bad that they ask for money when you have to leave. For the price of the lessons, they could give us the certificate for free."
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.

“Super professional, teacher Rita created both a safe learning environment and that she explained everything extremely well. Fast paced course, but because of her clear explanation it all really worked out well. The teaching method / books are also very well structured.”
Insider tip: “One of a few language schools that is just a 3-minute walk away from the sea.”
Review details
Other comments The tour to see more of the island was canceled at the first stop due to a visit to the hospital by one of the participants. The organizers could not do anything about this situation, although it would have been good to give us all a full refund as the they cancelled the tour at a very early stage (only recovered half after inquiring).

Other comments I put 3 stars for the equipment because the rooms are sometimes a little small and there is no library but these elements are not very important in my evaluation. It's the same thing for leisure activities.

“Super lessons. Very competent and friendly teachers. The lessons are a bit demanding if you don't have any previous knowledge, but you can learn so much more in return.”
“The school is a bit run-down, despite its top location. Most of the chairs have some kind of damage. The lighting in the toilets does not work or is inadequate. Both the bathrooms and the classrooms are very cramped.”
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: You should have some prior knowledge, despite the A1 beginners' course. This is not necessarily the fault of the teachers. Most participants (even in A1) have at least a solid basic understanding, but still take this course to learn the grammar properly, and the teachers adjust the level to the students' average level.

Other comments The format of the book is a bit old-fashioned, one must first learn to introduce yourself with all nationalities, etc. As I took private lessons I had no use for it. Family composition with cousins, aunts, etc. come before learning to act, order and ask for directions which is more essential given that we are in a Spanish city. Apart from this the book was very good with good practical exercises.
Course: Individual lessons, 2 per week first and last week, 3 per week other weeks, no lessons 21-25/3 - 8 weeks

“The course was well structured and the books were very good. The teacher (Carlos) was both competent and nice.”
Insider tip: “They start a new course on the first Monday of each month. That is good to know if you want to start a course in the beginning of the course book. No information on the website as far as I know.
They arrange excursions every Wednesday, but if you do not stay at their residence you will have to pay double price for the excursions.”
Review details
Other comments There was no written test before the course, just an oral interview. During the course the focus was on speaking, we did not get any training in writing such as letters, summary or argumentation. No listening comprehension or films (I was in B2).

Quality of teaching / language progress: I had 2 weeks of private lessons, my teacher was Rita who was perfect, very professional, rythm, material, interaction, I couldn`t ask better. But overall a little expensive.

“The teachers were highly skilled and personable.”
Insider tip: “When I took the placement test, I asked the staff person to put me in the easier of two levels if I fall between two levels. She didn't. The students in my class were quite a bit more advanced than I. So if that's important to you, insist on it. I know I could have switched the second day, but it's awkward to do so and the staffer should have accommodated my request in the first place. ”
Review details
Other comments My class of 13 was way too big. It's hard to recommend the school if that's their norm. Also there was zero mention of after class activities in class itself. I only found out about them by looking at a bulletin board on my last day.
