"My experience was a personal enrichment"

Patrizia Cescut Mesch, student van Italië

I attended a one- to- one lessons spanish course in August for my job and I met a lovely teacher, Gisela . She was very skilled and professional, I got a certificate at the end of the course. I learned a lot during the time I was in Almeria (two weeks). The Director of the school, Mrs Patricia Fernandez Rodriguez, was always awailable to help me if I had any questions or needs. Almeria is an historical city with a modern feel, I felt myself very well in this place. So I suggest students to study in this school because the teachers are willing to help you if you want to improve a foreign language . Please pay attention: there are no social activities in August because it is holidays time, but during the year it is possible to combine your language course with other activities . It could be a great occasion to visit this lovely city. I would like to come back next year.!

"Lovely people"

Andrea Lagerwey, student van Nederland

My experience was a little mixed. Amaya was very nice, gave a nice tour through Almería and explained a lot. But as there were no other students, my friend and I had to join in one class. Our levels are far too different to combine and that meant that it was either too slow or too complex. On day 3 we had an extra student, more at my level, but he slowed us down by speaking English all the time. Amaya could have corrected him more often and challenged him and us by speaking Spanish only.

In all, I did learn something but could have reached more if there were more students at my level and we had constant class about grammar, vocabulary and speaking and understanding Spanish.

My expectations were not met. Language International made me believe that I had a choice to join a group (students 50- or 50+) and convinced me to join the 50+ group. Well, with 2 students of 58, that was not very difficult. They should have informed us that we were the only students, so we could choose ourselves if we wanted to continu and we would have been more prepared.

Had a great time in Almería, also due to Amaya's tour!

"Really good in the circumstances."

Kathryn Ward, student van Spanje

Despite having been told by Language International that the school could cater for my husband, a beginner, and myself, an intermediate learner, we arrived to discover that there was one class teaching at a level of B1 to B2. We decided to give it a go on the first day. It was very much a question of sink or swim. We only stayed for the whole course because Amaya the teacher is exceptional.

The location of the school was great, central and near the wonderful Casa Puga. The facilities were adequate for our needs and the staff helpful and friendly.

"Satisfactory"

Daniele Concato, student van Italië

The course, in a small group of three students, was very satisfying, so much so that I achieved the B1 level. The teacher prof. Amaya Quintas Garrida.

The manageress Patricia and the secretary are also friendly and kind.
I was not happy with the family accommodation 7 km from the center of Almeria in a small town without any interest.

After two days I asked to change and the school put me in a great hotel in the center of Almeria.

Dear Keith,


I have checked the whatsapp conversation and mails that I had with you... And I am confused about these negative comments of my school.
The conclusión is that you changed your mind when you finsih 1 week course and wanted to study callan method instead of studying in a general Spanish course... And you just wanted conversation lessons not learning the 4 skills to learn a language.. So I suggested you to have one to one lessons instead of being in a group but you didn´t want it too...
You said that you were very greatful about my effort and you were very happy with the school and the teacher but that you prefer to learn with that method... But we cannot refund you the money as you requested to do that callan course as you asked for because you tried our lessons 2 months before having your course, something that we don´t do, but I offered you with no extra charge because you wanted to try our classes before booking the course... So you knew in advance our method...
Anyway, if you still want to join any of our groups that are running till 16th December 2019 as I suggested you too, this was option2, you would be very welcome to come :)
All the best!
Patricia

"Almeria Spaniss School: the place for foreigners to get Spanish lessons from good teachers"

Kader Amrani, student van Nederland

Warda and I were at this school for one week. In the description is mentioned that there will be a test on which level we are. This did not happen. We were for three days the only cursists. On Thursday Mark and on Friday Eva joined the class.

Apart from the different level of each cursist, it was very nice to have lessons from Rebecca. Se is a good teacher and has a lot of patience. The material we get was not much, but you can't expect much for a class of 15 hours.

Concerning the facilities: we both are teachers in the Netherlands and we work with modern materials such as whitebords, computers etc.
So using chalkboards nowadays is some steps back in time. Also the classroom is a little bit old fashioned. But this is not at all an important issue for us. What we think is important is, that Rebecca has succeed in teaching us a lot of Spanish words/verbs. in a very short time. We will certainly come back another time and hopefully have her again as teacher.

We also are glad with the heartly welcome of the staff.

A suggestion: maybe an evening walk with all cursists and visiting some tapas bars?

Kader and Warda Amrani

"Ich hatte eine fantastische Zeit und konnte sehr viel lernen."

Sandra Sigg, student van Duitsland

Der Unterricht war bestens an die Bedürfnisse und Gegebenheiten der SchülerInnen angepasst. Wünsche, Anregungen, Vorschläge sofort umgesetzt. Die Schule ist ausreichend ausgestattet. Der Umgang ist unkompliziert und herzlich und hilfsbereit. So wurde mir am ersten Tag erklärt, wo ich in der Nähe kostenfrei parken kann.

"I felt let down and disappointed as I was put with 2 girls at a much higher level who were also at a different level than one another"

Kay McMahon, student van VK

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience at the school. I was put in a class with 2 other girls both of whom were at a much higher level than me and they were also at a different level from one another. (I was deemed to be at 2A from the written test I took but I had written to the manager to explain that my verbal Spanish was not as good as my written Spanish. 1 girl was close to completing 1B and the other was at 2B and beyond. Both lived or had lived in Spain for some time.)


On the first day I spoke to the teacher about it but it seemed the only other option was to join a complete beginner who she said was extremely slow. (We looked at what she would be covering with him and it was very basic whereas I was nearing completion of 1A in my Spanish lessons at home.)


She assurred me it would be ok with the two girls and that I would be able to work with the one at 1B. We tried this on the second day but by the morning of the third day the teacher abandoned this and was in effect running 3 different lessons in the same room. She was a good teacher and did her best but it was a difficult and ackward situation. 


When she was talking conversationally to the other girls in Spanish I could understand very little but would have had to interrupt every sentence in order to learn anything. I had let her know this was the case. I did however listen in case I picked up anything but it was at a much higher level.


The situation got worse each day and on the fourth day, apart from about 15 minutes of tuition I was simply completing written exercises on my own and checking them in the back of the book. 


On the morning of the final day I decided I had to let the school manager know that I felt disappointed and let down. I had booked the course in order to practice speaking Spanish on a daily basis and had been reduced to completing exercises that I could have done anywhere on my own. I had to pass the message on via the receptionist as the manager was not there. It was suggested that I should have raised it on the first day but I had done that with the teacher. The receptionist promised to pass the message on but I have heard nothing from the school.

PATRICIA FERNANDEZ, DIRECTOR at ALMERIA SPANISH SCHOOL responded to this review.
25 October 2018

Dear Kay,

As I explained you in private, there are discrepancies between your version and ours. I am not going to get through each of them...

I suggest you that next time you should talk not just with your teacher, because he/she is not the right person to organize the groups and the courses.. You have to talk to the school staff, and the director, and not wait to the last day as you did.

I always look after all my students and I did with you, as I gave you in person your Course certificate, I took photos of you, the other student and the teacher... And I asked you about your experience in our school, and you said that you were very happy, you smiled and said goodbuy to all of us... So I just wanted to clarify this point as we are a family school and our students are the most important thing for us. In fact, in 18years old we do not have any student that doesn´t want to come back to study with us...

Because of this, I would love you to come back to Almeria Spanish school, I will make you a special discount for the next time that you study with us.
I hope that this makes you happy,

Sincerely,
Patricia Fernandez
Director

"Very nice teachers. In the centre of Almeria. Not many students"

Philip Tobler, student van Zwitserland

Most of the time 1-3 students (I was in May and beginning of June), therefore very individual and quick learning.
In the center of Almeria. Good locations for tapas etc. are very close. Car parking can be expensive. Almeria and surroundings offers beautiful nature (cabo de gata, sierra nevada, tabernas etc.)

"We have been at your school twice until now and will always come again!"

Harald Gehlen

I was together with my girlfriend Jasmin at your School twice. We like the location of the School, because it is very easy and fast to reach. My girlfriend is Swiss and i am German, we both want to learn the Spanish language. Our teacher is Amaya. I think she is a perfect teacher, she knows very well to handle students and she knows how to teach as well.

Everytime we come to Spain for at least one week we try to get lessons at your School, two hours per day. This is what we like so much: you are this flexible, that we can get lessons when and how long we want. And this is exactly what we are searching, especially with such a perfect teacher!
