Course for Spanish teachers

The teachers at the school are very friendly. The location of the school is very good. Accommodation without air conditioning and this is the only minus of the stay

I really enjoyed the classes and the teaching methods as well as the teachers. The location was good since it was close to the tram but it would be better if all classes where in the same building. I would also liked it better if the classes had a bit more people in it so you would have got the chance to meet more people. However, the activities after the clases have you the possibility to meet and talk to more people.

Everything was absolutely nice. I had the opportunity to learn a lot there (especially Inmaculada, a new teacher there, was amazing!). The location of the school is great and the city is beautiful as well. The school offers many activities to learn a lot about the spanisch culture. They are well organized.

My experience was much like a lot of reviews I read that were negative. A lot of the negatives issues were very small and seem trivial. However, when they all add it just makes for a negative experience. Because the classes are kept small, they are held in tiny classes. You are right on top of fellow students that you might not want to even be near, let alone almost attached. I caught a cold and was embarrassed to be coughing and sneezing in class when I first discovered I was ill. This developed into chest infection and I was forced to drop out of the school so as not to infect the other students due to their close proximity. Their teaching is all in Spanish. I realize it is a Spanish course. However, not being able to understand anything the teacher said at all meant that I had no idea what was going on, was unable to understand the questions or the answers and walked away not having learned anything at all except for a bit of grammar. I expected the class to be chatting away so that I could speak and hear Spanish in a basic form to help me learn. Instead, the entire class was the teacher talking and reading from a laptop followed by the odd student answering a question since he or she obviously understood enough Spanish to be able to do so. There was zero conversation in my class. Strictly grammar. I am a native English speaker and I haven't a clue how English grammar works so I definitely hadn't a clue about Spanish grammar and I am none the wiser after attending this school. The activities were poorly put together and very unorganized. Some started up to an hour or so late, some were cancelled and no one was told, some had guides that would leave well before the activity was finished, leaving us to wonder what we were supposed to do. No one was encouraged to speak Spanish. During the 15 break you would try and purchase a coffee or snack from the tiny canteen they had. The lady working at the canteen was the slowest person I have ever witnessed in such a setting. Sometimes it would take more than the 15 minutes just to get a coffee which meant spending your entire break standing in a line waiting. I could go on but I think I've said enough. I certainly wouldn't go back.

I was a little nervous on the first day as I am older than the typical student at the school. However, everyone was really friendly, the level of the class was right and the teacher made learning really interesting and fun. There were free evening events, the tour of the old part of Alicante was a highlight because it is a lovely city. Highly recommended, no regrets! I am now much more motivated to continue studying at home.

The teacher where wonderful, but it seems kinda counter productive to teach beginner Spanish in Spanish. Nice people and a positive experience, but a weird way of teaching in my opinion.

Every morning 3 hours of detailed grammar with exercises and homework. Afterwards a practical part with speaking. I would have liked les theory and more speaking.

Luckily, I was housed at two ladies who compensated the talkative part, treated me as their family member and did everything to make my stay comfortable.

I was lucky to participate in small (5-6 people) classes. The first week I had a starter teacher who was absolutely first grade in teaching us. The second and third week another (more experienced) teacher was as kind and competent.
Noticing to not like by means of all the things you mentioned. I didn’t take part at the events because living here in Alicante Indo have opportunities to go and experience them already.

Extremely professional, always prepared and pleasant teaching.


Overall a good experience

I found this school to be chaotic. My registration was incorrect on the first day so that had to be taken care of. We ended up in three different classrooms for the time I was there. And because students are starting at different dates the classes are a bit of a mix of levels. In my class there were student who had been in the course at that level for six weeks and some of us it was our first day. The Spanish taught was not practical, it was more like being in a year long high school Spanish class and I happened to dropped in for a couple of weeks. I was looking for practical, every day Spanish that would extend my vocabulary and ability to interact with Spaniards. There are alternatives that are better for that type of Spanish learning. However, I must say that my
instructor was excellent and very patient, but it was the wrong style & content for me personally.

I absolutely loved living and studying in Alicante for the month of September. All the teachers that I had were absolutely amazing! Apart from giving great lessons they also helped me with some out of school issues and questions (thank you!!!) I chose 25h/week and wouldn't recommend going below that, as 20h/week will only get you the grammar classes and its the conversation class that, in my opinion, is the best! The only minus that I can think of is sometimes the after class activities were lacking organization. The apartments that the school offers are good, but very basic. Do your best in class (take a few private lessons if you don't feel 100%), go to the beach, travel around: Murcia, Altea, Guadalest, Villa Joyosa, Playa de San Juan - everything is so close and you can do a half day trip. Talk to the locals, google intercambio bars Alicante if school is not enough- make the best of your time there! good luck!

I liked the way the teachers taught and the pace that they taught at. I liked the location a lot because the houses were very pretty and so was the school. The activities we did was also fun. When we went to the museum or the super market. The class activities were also fun for example the pueblo game.

This was the first time I went abroad alone and I came back with no regrets.

The thing I liked the most is the people attending the school.
A lot of people are really motivated to learn something, that makes for a nice studying environment.

The classes are filled with all ages and origins. Only one week I was in a class with all 50+ and being 23 myself I did not really feel comfortable. I told this to the school and the next week I was placed in a more 'mixed' class.

I made some great friends over there and really enjoyed my stay.
For this I have to rate it 5/5.

Was looking for a Spanisch course in a mild climate. As I am often use the car, it shold be a place where I can park it at the apartment. So I asked for parking possibility. Simone Reich ansered just direct beside the.apartment.
That wax the answer of Simone Reich. But as I arrivede the andwer changed within some das.
The new information. Compare direct at thr apartment got free to:
have found public car park at the apartment.

A
Aparcamiento Plaza América Calle Jaime Segarra, 1, Alicante 965 91 01 06 , I think this is one of the closest to his apartment, this is a public parking but some of them have deals to use a car park space to be paid monthly.



Garaje Europa S.L. - La Lonja Alicante Calle del Capitán Segarra, 35, 965 14 40 80. This one is closer to the School ( 10-15 minutes walking to the apartment)



Hotofi SL Calle Vicente Inglada, 4, 965 14 29 57 This one is closer to the School ( 10-15 minutes walking to the apartment)

---.might take 10-15 minutes the find a spot.near tje apartmen -- up to 10.minutes ro walk tjr.spartment.

Did the student not know the apartments didn’t have private car park space? Just to know because I am a bit concerned that he might have gotten the information wrong or there has been a misunderstanding, because we don’t have that information in our website and we never guarantee that, the students sometimes ask about an apartment where is easy to park and we allocate them in areas where finding a places is not as difficult as the city centre, but you have to consider that the apartment is still close to the city centre ( 10-15 minutes) and the parking spaces there are not payment ones so It might take you a bit to find and empty space ( unless you live away from the city centre).



There are public car park with private spaces like the ones I mentioned above but they might not be right beside the apartmen
Litttle change from direct beside the apartmen to 500 Euro during the stay plus 10 minite walk dayli one way.

Signed a contract for apartment but keys for a diiferend on. Torn down curtains, got a silent plcee direct over a boxing gym. Fantatic sound during the.day and during thr night. Btw, np possibility to clode yor room, ehile leaving your room. Back to parking. It took me every night 10 to 15 minutes ti find a prking slot, usually not at thr apartment but within 5-10.minutes to walk
Most importanr that Simone Reich never aimed for a longerm solution always skipped the.fsilutes to the school. O a sure
She knows about here mistake.abouut the parking spot, who.caused the cancellation. The cost.for this failse claim costs mpte thrn 1300.Euro. .
The school.seems to be as unorganized. Wrong contracts, bad preparation, making false claims , not trustfull. Only teacher Bea and Raquel seem to freadly. The people at front deskt promised to ansfer.my monex back to my bank account. Guess by your selve if they did. The even not send me a messsage. They did respond to my emails. Overall. School may have good teachers teally bad organisation, if yoy are used to such. Schoolds you may cope with it, parking.situation is crazy, if anyone from anguageinternationa is is saying cars could brought to Alicante, they just dooing anything to ckose the deal. The most infortmation is bla bla. Much easier und even correcht if you ask at schooj.
Simone Reichhas to ask everything, on thi way you loose lot of onformation
Then there is a gut clalled Michael Reich. He is reponsible for giving his opinion. Seems to be a game within Languageinternational talking about customers an then tell it to then

Summa summarum.
Book direct at the school. I dod not get any usefull service instead Simome Recich made me chcice a wrong.destinaion. more than 4200km > more than 1400 Euro.

I thought the school was nice and teachers all very friendly. It was conveniently located within a 10-minute walk from my host family.

My host was very accommodating and it was relaxing staying there. I liked the teaching style as well.

The only down side was the room and the desks. I would have liked to have been in one of the larger rooms with more room for materials (on the desk )

Other than that I enjoyed it !

The classes were interesting. The teachers were very professional and helpful, as well as the other personnel of Proyecto Español.

I really liked the teachers and the classes. But I didn't like that there were so many Germans. They didn't speak Spanish or English, they always spoke German to each other. I liked that the school organized activities, but usually they had to cancel the activities because there weren't enough people going to the activities. I really liked the housing and the fact that there were people from many countries at my apartment.

The classes and teachers are good, location is ok.
School with basic facilities, classroom, bathroom (small and unisex), and 3 netbooks if you need use internet.

I really liked the family that I was living with - they were very nice and friendly. I generally liked the school. Some of the teachers were better than the others, but overall it was quite good

I like that I was living with the same girls that I was studying with. We were friends and I had really good time in Alicante.
