INTENSIVE GENERAL SPANISH COURSE (20 hours)

like:

the teacher was really friendly and willing.
the school was really new and good facilities and the location is really in the city center and a nice borough around.
the options for activities were good.

don’t like:
i told them i’m in the wrong level of the language classes and they told me that i have no clue and it was kind of ectremly complicated to change to another class and they were not so friendly or did not understand me. all in all i could not improve my spanisch, because everything i learned in class, i already knew. more speaking would be better for advanced students.

the host was a really friendly person, unfortunately she was not talking a lot and also mostly not at home. all the other things like food, my bedroom and the location in generell were really good.

I only had one lesson as I was not able to make the rest but everting from organising the course to the lesson it self was excellent, thank you . I hope to return.

One original method in one school dynamic

This was my first experience visiting a Spanish school. I came there with hardly any knowledge and some Spanish words. My teacher Mari Luz was so helpful and i could easily understand what she was teaching to us. I 'll definitely come back if i have the chance to.

I am studying online. They are flexible. They are kind. The professor is great and he helps me a lot. The professor is very friendly and teaches without any stress. I find that I look forward to my lesson. I have been busy and even without devoting adequate time, I am advancing.

Very good location and friendly teachers. New facilities and good structure to the classes depending on student’s needs.

0ne week, 10 lessons, location good, class nice, facilities good. i come back when i am in Valencia.

The teachers are very friendly and kind. Classes are very clean. They gave us many expressions and discussion.
Discovered many things about Valencia and Spain.

Thé classes was always thé same, no changé from thé beginning to thé end.

Teachers were very and inexpérimented but very patient. Very few students, i think this School is about to close.

No cultural activities, visits or anything else to make thé learning process more fun.

Very cold environment and very behavior from thé staff. I've assisted to other language schools and this one wasn't thé best.

Great location in Valencia, and nice facilities. Lessons, while not seeming to follow a super clear path from one to the next, were well presented and informative. We were only able to do two weeks of lessons, but I do feel like if we stayed longer our Spanish would improve tremendously! Teacher was professional and encouraging. I didn't see/hear anything about any of the social activities language schools usually host, but there may be some if you ask. Thanks!

The best Spanish school to learn. The professors are very nice and help in anything

El Carmen Spanish school is the best! The teachers are great - very professional, patient and try to create a fun and friendly atmosphere at class. I really enjoy going to Spanish classes and highly recommend this school!
Moreover, the accommodation that the school arranged for me is just perfect!

Nevertheless, I would like to have more social activities through the school - so I can get to know the city and the other students better.

To sum up, I really recommend this school and would like to come to Valencia again and continue my studies there.

Teachers in this school are very friendly and the lessons always are very interesting.You can discover something new every day.

We are a family of four people, between the ages of 54-17. Two of us had previous experience with Spanish, two had not. We requested two hour classes for conversation and in four days we all learned a great amount of useful Spanish. I wish we could have stayed longer. The evening courses with sangria, tapas, etc. were also very fun and a good way to learn with the other students. I feel very fortunate to have had this immersion opportunity with the great teacher, Elizabeth, and the staff at El Carmen School.

I attended 3 days of class with Elizabeth (Mon to Wed). I stayed in my own housing. Elizabeth is a great teacher. She explains grammar rules very well and she also creates a fun and relaxed learning environment. I will definitely come back for more when I can. Thanks!

Very nice and kind team, very good teacher, supportive and patient. School easy to reach in very nice area of Valencia.

I really enjoyed the teaching at El Carmen. As a teacher myself, I can appreciate the difficulty in teaching small classes. However both teachers were excellent. I enjoyed the first 20 mins of oral skills, and discussion. However at times some of the subject matter I felt was unnecessary for adults; zoo animals for example. Perhaps better suited to children?
I would have liked to do a few more listenings however as I think we only did 2, and only in the second class.

Grammar and vocabulary teaching was excellent.

My main problem was that I was in a class after the break with a beginner and I have more experience of learning Spanish and so that could be very frustrating at times as we went very slowly.
If I had stayed another week I would have liked to get onto learning the subjunctive.

The clase de horchata and pelicula de Volver were excellent activities; thank you.


The accommodation sadly was dirty, very hot (no fan) and the bed was not very clean. In addition, the front door of the building often became stuck/lock broken and we could not open it, even with our key. I called the man in charge who said he would come and fix it, but he didn't. The location was not a problem.

Actually it was an amazing experience that I have spent in this school, I learned a lot of things there, not only language, I learned about the Spanish culture، the Spanish customs and traditions,and how I can live in this country , and the way of teaching all of that was awesome, they teached me by a very funny ,easy and interesting way.
now I have what I need from Spanish language, that allow me to work and to connect with Spanish people.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!

Well organized classes with much to review and talk.

Everything about our experience was wonderful. Valencia as a city is beautiful. The centre of the city is magical and a wonderful spot to absorb Spanish culture. El Carmen is located right in the heart of all that culture. My partner and I took classes together and my kids took classes together but separate from us. We all were so impressed with them that we have continued lessons for our kids via Skype! Everyone is extremely kind and supportive. Learning a language can be daunting but the team there make it so fun. We highly recommend El Carmen!

It was all very good, Elisabeth is an excellent teacher and the school is well-located. It was a bit annoying that sometimes class would be cancelled because of too few students, but that was also a trade off of for having very small classes which was much better in the long run.

There weren't many activities while I was there and I would have liked there to be maybe an evening social gathering or something like that. The other weak point was housing which I tried to take advantage of, but the school wasn't offering anything suitable at the time I was there so I had to find my own housing which was a bit difficult at times.

Beautiful school with super nice people, I love the experience during the study in Valencia, this amazing school helped me a lot. i am so lucky to be with them. And i will continue study here, it is the best.

Easily the best school in Valencia and in the historical centre of El Carmen. Completely personal experience without any of the commerciality of other schools. Made our best friends of Valencia in the school and would recommend to everyone!

The classes of Spanish are very well organised, the teachers are very knowledgeable and very kind, facilities are great and the location is perfect. There are also a lot of culture related activities which are very interesting and entertaining where you learn how to prepare drinks like 'sangria', or 'horchata' and others that include a visit to historical monuments in Valencia and the visit to the museums.
I couldn't have asked for more, it's a unique experience.
