"Best was Lena - she organized all with so much involvement, unforgettable person!!"
Negative aspects
"Maybe a bit more tasks "out of the regular school books", conversations in class under more control of the teacher, if students discus and nobody is correcting them wrong language habits can be memorized."

"Easy to reach, small groups and Lena organised the lessons well and made sure that everyone understood. It was fun and I would have liked to continue, but unfortunately I didn't have the time."
Negative aspects
"The only thing that I think could be more effective in gaining more confidence is speaking freely. That what has been learnt in the form of free speaking (questions and answers in complete sentences) is practised together in class."

Negative aspects
"Rooms too small and hardly any possibility to move around the room. Non-functioning technology (projector). Too long lessons, no break between group lessons and individual lessons, bathrooms for men and women. Too little grammar. Disruptions due to students arriving too late."

"The welcome was rude and the introduction was unfriendly. Very nice and considerate flatmates. Unfortunately, the ceiling light in the room did not work. Also, there was only one light bulb (no lampshade or similar). In the bathroom the drain was blocked, the shower cubicle was tiny. The washing machine was leaking water. The rooms were entered in absence, without prior notice. No waste separation."

"A harmonious and suitable environment for what they propose. Teachers are well prepared to work with students from all over the world. My suggestion for the students is to book at least a 4-week course. I believe that short courses are not that efficient."

Positive aspects of school
"All the teachers are very friendly, warm and patient. Any questions, they are happy to help.
The teaching system is very clear. The curriculum structure, and there are textbooks dedicated to te school.
The location is in the city center, close to the Iglesia and Bilbao metro stations, and right next to the Plaza de Chamberi bus stop. There are Carrefour supermarkets and many bakeries nearby."
Negative aspects
"The school building is relatively small, with only two floors (first floor and basement). A so-called "library" is just a bookshelf. The lounge only has a table and a sofa. Classrooms are relatively small.
Language tests in schools are not very accurate and many people are given inappropriate grades. Therefore, the level of each student in a class varies greatly (especially in lower-level classes). The so-called activities are not prepared by the school itself. If you don't go out with your classmates by yourself, you usually won't see your classmates after class."

City/place
"The transport is very convenient. With a youth card of 20 euros, you can take all kinds of transportation in Madrid for a month, and you can go to some nearby cities. People in the city are friendly, but most of them don't speak English. Overall consumption is about the same as in Germany."

The Director and Office Manager provide very good support, information and suggestions for living in Madrid! A very friendly school with kind teachers, fun international students and good quality learning and teaching! The classes are small 6-10 students for quicker Spanish learning and speaking! If you do not come to Spain with a foundation in Spanish, the Director and Office Manager will assist you with the right teacher, who will provide organized learning and English explanations, and you can continue learning at Level 1 for as long as needed."

As an individual student you are taught in a tiny room without a window in the basement, right next to a large room with group lessons, which can be very loud and annoying at times. But it is very easy to grab your teacher and go to a nearby café."

"The school is small and friendly and the classrooms are small, which means you don't have to raise your voice at all and everyone can see and hear perfectly. The administrator is very friendly and very able and knows everybody by name, and also speaks fluent English and native French. Although listed as a having a library and a cafe these are really pretty minimal. Wifi worked perfectly, including for whole class playing interactive word games."

"Madrid is a fabulous place, even though I have been to Spain many times I'd never been able to spend any time there. It really has something for everyone, from exceptional museums to parks, restaurants and plays and music bars and ... something for everyone. The only real risk is doing too much. The metro works extremely well in Madrid and it's easy to get around."
Quality of teaching / language progress
"The intensive course was extremely good, and backing it up with two extra hours one-to-one really made an enormous difference. The main course had four students, all adults about 25-60 with various reasons for being there, different abilities and different rates of learning. The teachers were very skilful at managing this without leaving anyone out. My extra two hours of one-to-one were organised as one before the main classes and one after, and so it possible to really prepare and then reinforce the topics of the day. The extra tuition might appear expensive, but if you are serious about learning quickly were really very good value for money. My teacher began by asking why I was learning Spanish and what I needed from the course, and every lesson had material specifically for me, focussed exactly as I'd wanted. I was really delighted with how much progress I made in just the one week and how easy and supportive the teachers were."

"I had booked transfer from/to the airport. It worked well. However, it was not a special transfer by the school, but I was driven by ordinary taxis and taxi drivers. This normally costs Euro 30. The Academia Contacto asks for Euro 70 !!!! I find this completely out of place and unfair to the students. At the airport there are a lot of taxis and for the pick up from the accommodation, just 1 phone call is required! For that, they charge Euro 40 each way! Totally unacceptable !!!!!"

"Great"
Quality of teaching / language progress
"I had a great time learning Spanish. They put you in a class of your own level and the teachers are very capable with their tasks. They have a program but also give space for your own needs and stories. It was a very good and pleasant course."
