"Smal and friendly"

Hallur Leopoldsson - Gudrun Gisladottir, student from Iceland

The school is very small. Most of the people who go there do so twice a week. Me and my wife had signed up for classes five days a week for three weeks. We ended up in classes that did not meet our expectations. I in a beginners class with people that had never studied any Spanish and my wife was attending two different classes. So two days out of three she got satisfying teaching.. So sadly our Spanish did not improve much over those three weeks. In short the school did not meet our expectation and was not worth the money we payed.

"Useful to learn and fun to do"

Marlene (NL), student from Netherlands

Good location in Rojales, lots of parking space and 2 cafes next door for after lesson coffee.
Carol did a good job teaching the mixed group of 5-7 (Dutch, Swedish, Belgian and Polish).
This was an absolute beginners group and Carol used drawings when needed, also her sound effects were great!

Monday and Wednesday one hour lesson and homework was a good timetable to keep the experience going on.

My husband learned a lot these 12 weeks (he’s dyslectic and needs time to handle a (written) language).
For me it was a too easy, most of it I already knew from my lessons (30) back home and using the duo lingo app. For the both of us doing this together was a nice experience, this way I could help my husband out with his questions at home and train together. The other group ‘conversation’ would have been too experienced for me I guess.

Jose and Carmen run the place excellent and when there was time, they would try a little conversation with the students while waiting for going into the classroom.

Muchas gracias por todo!

"It was a good experience"

Antonetta Wolfs, student from Netherlands

I choose this school for the location. It is close to were I stayed. I really enjoyed it.
The level of the lessons was perhaps a little to simple. But I saw it as a good repeat from my lessons in Holland.
You learned somethings in a different way, so you can rememeber it better.
But I could follow it now and you also learn new things. It is good for me that we talk
When I come back in Guardamar, maybe i will take new lessons again. It is good for me to speak more Spanish.

"We had a good lesson, in a small group and learned quite a lot."

Romée van Iersel, student from Netherlands

We were only three, that was very pleasant.
The teacher gave good and clear lessons.
Location was great, still a good half hour drive from our apartment.
We received a very nice book, bring your own notebook and writing materials.
We had 1 hour of Spanish lessons every day (basic), otherwise nothing to do with other facilities.

"My wife and I, both over 60, take private spanish classes, it is not an easy language but we enjoy it very much."

Rob en Marlies Braams, student from Netherlands

Our teacher is Ana, a very pleasant 'profesora'. Starting with simple words, we learn to make sentences and answers questions. Offcourse we make a lot of mistakes, but Ana is very patient. We intend to book a few months more. It is fun doing it.

"About what I expected"

Harry Hådell, student from Sweden

The teacher, the class and the classroom were good, including the school's location. Otherwise, I can not comment.
There were no activities and I did not expect that.
The teacher was very good, but I wish she could speak English. This made it sometimes difficult to understand what to do, such as homework.
