Student Reviews

I hadn’t ever taken a course with a language school before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I thought perhaps it would be similar to my A level lessons, and in each lesson you would cover: listening, reading, writing and speaking. My expectations were met, most of the teachers structured their lessons using the […]

I expected quite an academic approach to learning Spanish, in particular with reference to the grammar aspects of learning. I also expected most people to be much younger than me (I’m 35). Linguistically the course proved more challenging than I first imagined – the pace of learning was extremely quick. The other students were far […]

Before arriving on the course I hoped that I would be able to achieve a firm grounding in Spanish in preparation for a work placement in Barcelona during the Summer. Having not enjoyed languages at school I had only a vague hope that I would be able to communicate in simple Spanish by the end […]

Having studied A-level Spanish I already have a basic knowledge of the language, and expected it to become easier to speak in everyday situations, without having to think so much! Other than that I didn’t know what else to expect. I loved the Spanish course in the Madrid school, its situation, staff and students. The […]

I expected the course to further develop my grammatical and linguistic Spanish skills and generally improve my conversational Spanish. I also looked forward to being taught by native Spanish speakers in a country other than Spain. I definitely improved my all round Spanish langue and grammar but I also felt the course set me up […]

I was very tired and very nervous, I was on the other side of the world from home and didn’t know a soul. I tried to ring home to let them know I had arrived safely in Quito but the card I had didn’t work. The hotel phone cost me $17.00 to speak to my […]

I expected to find the course very difficult linguistically as I had found French at school very hard. I did not expect the lessons to be very interesting, as I’ve not found languages interesting in the past. I was unsure what to expect from my accommodation because I had heard of people having bad experiences […]

Since having no previous knowledge of Spanish I hoped to gain a basic grasp of the language and have fun at the same time. Did I feel my expectations were met? Definitely, I progressed more than I could have imagined. I felt I learnt more Spanish in a month than I did french in two […]

“Greetings from Cannes! I have been living here on the sunny Cote d’Azur for just over a week now, and so far I’m having a fantastic time. There was lots to take in at first; getting acquainted with the college and where everything was nad exploring the quaint, but bustling town of Cannes. Not to […]

Well the important thing is my French.  I have every confidence it has flourished under the instruction of my prof. Katia, who was amazing and extremely patient. The teachers at the college are brilliant, and with lessons taught solely in French, it is a steep learning curve. Every lesson is structured well and it is […]
