"I had such a good time at Expanish Malaga - the people were so friendly and the lessons were super beneficial!"

Serenna Tirado, student from UK

I liked the teachers as they were all super friendly and helpful in class. I found my first day a little overwhelming and the tasks a little challenging at times, however my teacher recognised this and made sure I understood by coming to help me and talk to me. the location was amazing as it was very close to the beach, and there were also many shops around in the centre for eating. it also wasn't too busy near the school which I liked. I thought the school was very modern and well laid out, however the desks in the classrooms were a little too small, and the air conditioning was too strong in the school. I also didn't think there were enough toilets for the amount of people in the school. I really enjoyed the activities that the school offered, though. they were a really good way of getting to know the other students better, and also to have a good time after class! they were entertaining and beneficial and I really liked them. overall, I really liked the sense of community at the school as everyone was very welcoming and friendly. however, I feel I would've perhaps benefitted from more of an explanation as to how the school works (e.g. timings of the school day, the layout of the school, how the activities work, etc) as I was slightly confused on my first day. I also think the snacks should've been free, and there needed to be more functioning toilets as one out of the two didn't work! I also liked how we only spoke in spanish in class as I found this very useful, although I did get lost a few times, my teacher would come to help me 1-1.

"Very good experience"

Kilian Haeuser, student from Germany

I booked a Spanish course for four days, from 26. till 30. december, 2023, in Malaga, Andalucia, Spain.
It is a really modern school, the staff and the teachers are friendly, open and heartful. The lessons have been very effective - I could improve very well my Spanish in just four days, felt myself more and more sure in conversation and writing.
I can recommend this course for everyone, who wants to improve his abilities in a foreign language in a short time.
