"Teaching at Don Quijote is at very high standard"

Arthora Agustsdottir, student from Iceland

I only spent one week at Don Quijote so my review will take notice of that.

I liked the classes very well. I thought it very good that the students were only six in the class so it was easier for the teachers to activate the students. The teachers were very enthusiastic about to get the students to participate in the study. They were eager to make us talk, listen an also write. I think that these three factors are very important in language learning. The teachers were very nice and helpful and made you feel good although your Spanish was weak. My vocabulary increased this week and also my writing. What was difficult for me was that the students were far into the study material when I joined the class and I didn´t have the foundation to build on.

The teachers were great and helpful.

The location was very suitable for me, the housing is charming and friendly.

"I had a good time with the other students so it was great."

Leo Vitone, student from Italy

Salamanca is a great town to stay for a couple of weeks. I liked my housing pretty much. The conversation class was lame and in general to be honest I liked the place and the people but the cafeteria at the school was the best.

"Not only learning, but lifelong friends!"

Margaret Davies, student from Australia

I was in the Over 50 Spanish class and found the whole experience to be wonderful! The classes were small and the teachers excellent. The entire group jelled extremely well and after class we often went for lunch together or sightseeing. I think this is the advantage of having students of similar age. The schools location is excellent and the cafe attached was great. In the weekend there were excursions arranged. Ana in the office was also extremely approachable and helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending this school and this particular course.

"Good school with competent teachers"

Nadine Achermann, student from Switzerland

I had Premium classes and had private classes due to the fact that I was the only participant. I learnt a lot and the teaching was focused on my gaps and preferences. The school organizes events (tours, movies, etc.) almost everyday. I would recommend Don Quijote!

"Absolutely brilliant"

Aleah embley, student from Scotland

The booking customer service was outstanding I booked the course for my daughter only 10 days before the start and Kristele was so helpful, always replying quickly and sorting out all the details. The pickup was smooth and the accommodation perfect. My daughter did breakfast only but wished she did full board. Classes were excellent lots of support and great teaching. She has an outstanding week and would love to go back. We are looking to send our younger kids next year.

Thanks for everything !

"Ice skating on a moving cloud learning a foreign language, with ease of movement and grace, fully engaged in the moment."

Jane Marx, student from USA

In the brochure, there was to be no more than eight people in a class. PERIOD. We had nine.
The two classes were too big. There had been an initial miscalculation.
One Golden Years participant came late into the second class on the first day bringing our class number to 8.
Then another arrived on the second day, first class, bringing us to 9. They both had been placed that first day in the wrong class
They were appropriate age-wise,energy, warmth and had been enrolled in the the Golden Years Program..
The error was allowing a married couple, who talked constantly to each other, and were also not in the Golden Years program, to be there from the start.

The tours in the evening were interesting, introspective and intellectual, but hand-outs, especially to beginners, would have aided comprehension. Say, short, simple Spanish descriptions of what we'd see or what was being discussed. The guide could not be heard, even indoors, as knowledgeably and charming as she was. Her manner was delicate and intimate, like a flower bud.The burden to hear/understand became exhausting and labor intensive..

The teachers were committed, kind and lovable with a ready sense of humor. The school building appeared as if a retreat, a refuge, a garden to sit and rest when not in class. My home stay was appropriate. My expectations were low. I adjusted to what was offered.

"Good"

Yazeed Naif N Alrubyli, student from Saudi Arabia

I registered for the super intensive course (35 lesson/week). They said that no one else registered for super intensive, so they gave me only the intensive course (25 lesson/week). They had to inform me beforehand so I could change things.

Home stays offer you a unique opportunity to experience Spanish life while living in the home of a local Spanish speaking family. You'll speak Spanish all day long, out of necessity and fun and interest in the family life you see unfolding around you. Accommodation in a host family allows you to get the most out of your language course as it gives you a privileged view of daily life in another culture.

About home stay:

Your host "family" may be a family with parents and children or a single parent who takes in students because he or she enjoys the company. You wouldn't be the first to go out on the town together, or to keep in contact with your family after your return home.

You'll eat at local hours - usually later than what you may be accustomed to- and you'll eat local foods, although the family will take your preferences into account as much as possible.
You will be given your own house keys, so you can come and go as you please. You will also be able to receive phone calls at the family home.

Spain

School location

The province of Salamanca is situated in the west of Spain on the border with Portugal. The city is large enough to be able to offer the advantages of a real city, but at the same time it keeps the intimacy of a town. In Salamanca, the inhabitants speak the “purest” Spanish in Spain - Castilian. For this reason Salamanca is enormously popular with people all over the world who want to learn Spanish. Contacts are made easily. You don’t have to make rendezvous as you are bound to see everyone in the Plaza Mayor, one of the finest squares in Spain and known as the living room of the Salamantinos. As there is such a varied range of nationalities, it is tempting to keep to fellow don Quijote students. Salamanca is however, a real university city, Spanish students are everywhere and you can go practically everywhere on foot.

Ask a question

"What are the conditions for the process of internship program?"

Sabrina Natario, student from France

First of all we need to receive enrolment (deposit payment included) in order to start with the internship process. Afterwards we will be able to fulfill such a document but not before the mentioned steps.

Was this helpful? Yes

"The student got back to me and told me she'd like an internship in photography/journalism or secretary. Do you offer such programs?"

For these fields we have to make a search project before confirming the practices. This searching proyect has a cost, and we cannot guarantee that we can find any company. This payment is non refundable and has to be paid as soon as possible if she decides to start the process. It will take some days, we cannot confirm it today.

Was this helpful? Yes

"Are there special rules if the student is underage?"

Dyan Test, student from USA

A written consent from the student's parents is required if the student is underage. We ask students that are underage to stay in a host family where there is an adult to take care of them, but in this case as she comes with a friend that is over 18 we can make an exception.

Was this helpful? Yes

"In terms of the consent form, could you send it to me so that I can pass it along to the student. In addition my second question was left unanswered in the previous email. Could you tell me if the students will have a curfew or if they will be able to spend their time freely during the day and night or if they are tied down to certain activities?"

Dyan Test, student from USA

The consent form is a paper that their parents have to fill in.
The students won’t have a curfew and they will be able to spend their time during the day and night. As you can read on the consent form, the school hasn’t got any responsibility.
That’s the reason that we ask their families to be responsible of their children.
The school organizes two activities per week but the student is free to join them or not. We think is a great idea to know the city and an it's an opportunity to meet other students from all over the world. We really encourage them to participate because they really enjoy, but obviously that’s absolutely a personal decision.
