Positive aspects of school
"Excellent teachers. Well organized. The school is in a pleasant location."
Negative aspects
"Throughout the entire week, there wasn't a single extracurricular activity organized by the school itself—just a list of publicly available, moderately interesting activities (e.g., book presentations). Nothing to help students connect with their classmates."

The teachers are very committed and there is a pleasant and relaxed learning atmosphere. In addition to the course, there are many extracurricular activities on offer. Students receive a certificate at the end of the course. Highly recommended!"

"I really liked this Spanish school in Cadiz. I don't think I ever got better language teachers than here. Positive, encouraging, funny, tailored to the level, and also in for talks about culture.
The school has a home feeling. I enjoyed that there were also a lot of people between 30 and 50, not just very young ones.
I actually learned to speak, which was my wish, not just learning grammar.
The teachers and directors care to give everyone a good experience, which you feel
The tapas night was awesome. Same as the fado nights."

Positive aspects of school
"I was at this school for three weeks and it was the perfect length of time for me to improve my language skills. I really enjoyed the well organized and planned grammar classes (Muchas gracias a mi super profesor Lolo), and greatly improved my understanding of grammatical structures and rules. The teacher presented the class with weekly summary charts that were concise, informative and easy to understand, consolidating knowledge and linking it to previously learned knowledge. My conversation teacher, Concha, was good... teaching style seemed fluid / relaxed and sometimes was linked to the grammar learned earlier in the day, sometimes based on events and student interests. I expanded my vocabulary and learned some fun colloquial phrases that I will use often in future conversations. The school organized tours were amazing (wine tour, tapas, and historical tours). I liked that the weekly activities were summarized and always available via QR codes. I liked the school cloth tote bag that was gifted to us, I used it daily, it was really practical for carrying groceries, school workbook, etc. The workbook is excellent, has useful relevant information and lots of practice exercises. It is included in the class fees which is really good. The campus is amazing, beautiful large classroom, top notch technology, nice front garden with shaded comfortable chairs and a back yard lounge and learning area with large table and a coffee machine. Perfect! Kudos to the entire SIC administration and teachers for a wonderful learning experience in a clean beautiful learning space."

Positive aspects of school
"- Very friendly Spanish teachers.
- Lessons in the A1+ course have brought me to a much higher level within 2 weeks. I now feel confident in most situations when talking to strangers.
- Leisure programme is also very good for the most part and there are also free events.
- Teachers are responsive to wishes, learning goals and interests.
- Good group sizes (4-7)"
Negative aspects
"- Some leisure activities were expensive. But you don't have to do everything.
- It would be a good idea if there were some leisure activities on Mondays or Tuesdays (e.g. tapas evening / lunch together / ...), so that you could get to know the people from your own course and from other courses better.
- Unfortunately, there were few students my age (25) during my week.
- Many were pensioners or only 16"

Positive aspects of school
"I liked it very much. The school management and the teachers were very friendly. The lessons in these short 2 weeks were very informative for me and helped me to refresh my knowledge. The teachers (Concha and Carmen) are very attentive to the students and the situation in class, and they have a good sense of humour. I think that's great. I would return again!"
Negative aspects
"Unfortunately, there was a public holiday in each of these 2 weeks: no school. But that's not the school's fault!"

Other comments
"It's a beautiful, interesting city and you can get to the sea in no time. However, if someone is looking for more greenery nearby, I would not recommend this city."
City/place
"It is a very special city because of its location, with many narrow streets. But you can also get to the big beaches very quickly. Very clean, very lively and I always felt safe."
Quality of teaching / language progress
"I honestly don't understand the difference between 50+ and another course. Is it the price? I was in class with 4 young people. I don't mind at all, I love young people. But there are many who think they are only in class with older people."

Positive aspects of school
"Teachers and staff very nice. Lollo in particular also gave good tips for leisure time. The location of the school is great."
Negative aspects
"Lessons sometimes unorganized. Classrooms tiny. The house has just been renovated, so it was sometimes unbearably loud during class. Contrary to what was on offer, very few leisure activities were offered. Tapas evening together once a week."
Details of the review
City/place
"It really is a very beautiful city and the beach is on the doorstep. A lot to see during the day. You can also do great shopping. But why is there not even a little music anywhere. Just tapas bars without music, nothing else. I just lacked the positive mood. I definitely recommend another city for beginners. The Spanish spoken in Cadiz was very fast and choppy and I found the inhabitants to be mostly very unfriendly."

"The activities could have been better. For instance a get together should have been held on the Monday when new students join and not on the Thursday. It was in town at 9:30 when it could have been earlier and more local. Not much else arranged or explained, eg go to cinema would have been nice."

"1 week beach holiday"
Accommodation
"Had to have lunch at 1.45pm because the hostess wanted to go to the beach and then go out. I, on the other hand, wanted to eat in the evening. I made breakfast myself, ok, but I also had to look for everything. Sometimes the dirty teaspoons from the sink. If I didn't eat in a restaurant in the evening, I ate on my bed for the first 20 days. I always bought bread for breakfast, as well as eggs. I couldn't use the coffee machine for the first week, it was a tangle of cables and I don't use a capsule machine like that myself. I don't want to go into detail about the chaos in the kitchen, barely more space than for a large bottle of water. I didn't buy any beer or wine in the 2 weeks: no space."

"The teachers really speak Spanish at their own pace. This was a great relief for me after having followed many courses in the Netherlands."
Accommodation
"The residence is centrally located in the old town. This means that all facilities are close by, but this also causes a lot of noise. At night, the streets are full and the rubbish man or the high-pressure cleaner comes to clean the city. If you do not sleep well or cannot stand noise, the residence is not recommended."

Quality of teaching / language progress
"I was lucky enough to attend Spanish in Cadiz during the low season, so I benefited from low student numbers. The teachers and the administrative organizer were all excellent. I cannot comment on activities and excursions as I didn't participate in any. I would certainly return to SIC in the future."
Accommodation
"The residence was centrally located which was very convenient. The 15-minute walk to school was not a problem as the route took me along the seafront with beautiful views."
