I really appreciated the professionalism of the whole organization! I am myself an ex director of a language school and I can tell that tour school is an excellent one! From the first day to the last day, absolutely nothing to complain! The quality of the teachers is to be mentioned! I am a language teacher myself! I had three in two weeks and all excellent… dedicated, professional, nice, and very patient!
Also, the quality of the workshops and tours are exceptional!
I will definitely recommend your school and probably come back! I learned a lot in 2 weeks! Classes are very well structured!
Muchas gracias!
I really enjoyed my time in Nerja The size of the town is perfect, in that you can walk everywhere and you have accessibility to other towns via bus. The intensive class moved very quickly for me, and if I were to do it again, I would probably take a week off between the two weeks that I studied to allow the information to sink in, I definitely came away, knowing a lot more Spanish than when I started and that was just in a two week period in the intensive course

Die Stimmung war entspannt und ich fühlte mich jederzeit wohl. Das lag in erster Linie an den beiden tollen und verständnisvollen Lehrerinnen. Die Zeit verflog wie im Flug- ein sehr gutes Zeichen. An den sozialen Angeboten habe ich nicht teilgenommen- die Angebote waren jedoch vielseitig. Insgesamt waren alle super nett, von der netten Empfangsdame bis zur Reinigungskraft. Negativ war der kurze Aufnahmetest von einem Lehrer, der einem das Gefühl gab, „ Was willst DU denn hier?“ Dass er mich nicht unterrichtet hat war mein Glück. Ferner fand ich die Präsentation auf der Leinwand etwas ungünstig, da die Lehrkraft gebückt tippen musste und dadurch die Sicht beeinträchtigt war.
Die Schule ist klein und heimelig und sehr charmant.
I took a sabbatical time of my work and booked a course for 7 weeks. The first 5 weeks I started with six people in the class and due to the Christmas period every week there were fewer people. The last week there was only two of us. To me this is not very important, but about 6 is the maximum, I think.
The last 2 weeks in January I had privat lessons due to the fact that no one had signed up with the same level as me.
I had a very good contact with all the teachers and with pain in my heart I left the schoolbuilding the last day. I had a great time and learnt a lot.
Following the capitals in the books went now and then a bit fast. The explanation was clear enough, I understood everything, but then using it straight away was a bit difficult. I was lucky enough to have 4 weeks holiday due to the closure of the school, so I had the time to repeat everything for myself. The privat lessons following were perfect, so I could ask all the questions I wanted to. Francisco explained everything very clearly to me.
There was nothing I did not like, the teachers, the facilities, the location, everything was perfect.
I am definately coming back to Nerja and I will also join classes again in the future.
the classes were well balanced and very cooperative
our teacher was genial
the general organization was on top
the location is a dream: flowered garden, patio, terrace, cafeteria, well equipped classrooms, meeting rooms, movie/conference room, outdoor teaching possibilities (!)
facilities: I appreciated the modern teaching facilities like internet, video, audio, electronic (black) board....
stimulating environment: staff very friendly and helpfull, relaxed atmosphere, calm...
social activities were welcome
the school is well situated in old Nerja, not far from the busy center
I loved the school and the experience. As a language teacher it was interesting to observe how intensive language is instructed in short periods of time, and with beginners at different acquisition levels. I will return next year, but I want to stay longer , and really try to encourage all to stay in the target language. Some times there was too much non Spanish being spoken- I am also a German teacher and found I spoke more German than I wanted:) . The first week the class was too big- 10 students , also because there were some beginners in the class who would have benefited from more differentiated instruction-very basic what is your name, where do you live etc This said we had a wonderfully lively group, and we laughed a lot- I also would have liked more partner work in the first week.I found , because the class was big we were not able to speak as much. I think Sergio and Paco are very intuitive and superb instructors.
My super intensive with Paco was excellent! It would have been great to have had one more student in the class because I probably would have spoken more. I will challenge myself next year to hablar more. I plan to take courses at the uni here.
The second week we had 6 in the class. I was annoyed that the first day we went to Torrox where I heard more German than Spanish. I would have loved to do a market scene in the class and really force us all to ask and answer questions. Celia is an excellent instructor, but the make up of our class was not as lively and I missed that dynamic. I liked that we did partner work, and it was excellent for me to be paired with a non German or English speaker- I loved this aspect. It would have been fun to interact in Spanish with the upper levels.
The excursions were wonderful! Thank you! The paella was wonderful! Thank you!
The hotel was fine- it needs a coffee machine for the off season months! I think next year I will look for an apartment.Also could there not be a cheaper school taxi? I found on for 28 Euros cheaper and the driver was wonderful!
Good atmosphere but not so structured.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The resort of Nerja is located directly on the sea, the school is centrally located.
Interesting excursions organized by the school.
Top!
The school is a perfect choice for many reasons. The location is just great, the school is a few minute walk from all the attractions and beaches. The teachers in school were very friendly, dedicated and most importantly very professional. They explained things really clearly and patiently. A good thing about the school is that it's not only a school for teenagers but also for middle-aged students and older. I took an intensive course in July and there were many people in my group in their forties or fifties. The accomodation was ok. The room was small and very basic but the host lady was very friendly and helpful. I can definately recommend Escuela de Idiomas and all the servises they provide.

The activities made it easier to get to know the other students. I had a great time at the school. It’s perfect for learning spanish and I would really love to come back some day.
Show details » Read more...Very professional - both in methods, teachers, daily plans and dealing with very different levels. Both in language skills and learning-ability. They really know how to help and/or challenge their students.
All logistics are perfect.
I did not participate in activities, but they seem good and relevant for those who did so.
I bought an extra week on-site. That should pretty much call for a thumbs up :-)
Had to go down a class as I had not been for 10 years. Same teachers and secretary which is always a good sign. Self catering facilities were quite poor.
Show details » Read more...Die Sprachschule ist sehr gut geführt und der Unterricht professionell. Die Professoren haben gutes bis sehr gutes Niveau. Die Sprachschule und der Club liegen im Herzen der Altstadt, von allen Seiten Nerjas gut fußläufig zu erreichen. Die angebotenen Zimmer und Studios sind recht gut ausgestattet, jedoch teilweise recht laut und kein Meerblick, da weit vom Meer entfernt, daher meiner Meinung nach zu teuer. Ich würde empfehlen, sich privat ein Zimmer oder Appartement zu buchen.
Die angebotenen, kostenpflichtigen Aktivitäten habe ich als überteuert empfunden.
Der Lehrstoff wurde ziemlich zügig durchgenommen, alle 2 Wochen musste ein neues Buch verwendet und natürlich auch gekauft werden. Es bestand zwar die Möglichkeit, das Buch auszuleihen, doch dann erhielt man meistens ein gebrauchtes Buch, in das schon jemand hineingeschrieben hat.
Very good professors. Easygoing atmosphere in the school.

I had 5 teachers in three weeks and they were all god.
Maybe the speed with an new chapter everyday was a little bit to high for me
I liked the class, even though it was very intense and difficult, but I think I was in the right level.
The teachers were very sympathetic and entertaining, and good pedagogues I think. I really liked the garden with the cafe for our
Coffee-breaks. Sadly their was some noise in the street going on so we had to change our class room at some time.
I lived outside the school in a private accommodation, which I was pleased with, so I just came for the classes.
I was overall pleased with the school , and would like to go back another time if possible. Thank you!
I'm sorry that it took me so long to answer.
I joined a group called 50+. It was very good. It was organized with lessons before lunchtime and had other activities in the evenings. I was in a beginner group with only six students from different countries. We had a very nice teacher. The school has a good location in the center of Nerja with a nice garden. I stayed in my own house so I have nothing to say about the housing.
The activities in the evening were well-organized and interesting.
We were only 5 pupils in our class, which made it great to learn, as you are obliged to follow each moment during the lessons.
I learnt a lot Spanish and improved my knowledge.
I didn’t know exactly the distance between where I was living at the hotel in Torre del Mar and Nerja, but it was about 20 km one-way, so I lost lot of time on the bus. Anyway, it was a nice trip along the shore.
I couldn’t attend all the free-time activities, because it was too far away for me, so I just had the trip to Cordoba. It was a hot day and we didn’t find any place to eat or drink. The time there passed by to quick and we couldn’t see that much, because the town was really crowded with people from all over the world as there was a big fiesta.
Anyway, I enjoyed taking classes in Spanish a lot!
