Demonstrate your Spanish level officially with the DELE exam
The quality of the teachers is very high, I’ve been impressed with their abilities to explain words and concepts in Spanish to those who are learning without utilizing another language such as English or a dictionary. It’s a truly immersive experience, which helps one progress quite rapidly. In addition, they take the weekly social activities seriously, so that we can enjoy and get to know other students and the city. Each week they prepare several activities for students and alumni at no or very low cost (i.e. 5€). Lastly, customer service is excellent. They worked with me and around my specific situation and problem(s), came up with creative solutions, were accommodating, etc. I would give a 6 star rating if I could! Above these very practical things, this place is so much fun!
