Student reviews about "Intensive Course" at Debla
Marjolein
"Fine."
Peter
"Both sections, oral and written in part, were very good."
Rossana
"a good course"
Bengt
"Too large a group and too many people who had several weeks of course behind them mixed with complete beginners. Not an optimal solution right away. Didn't like when the course was in the evening, the day was ruined especially if you lived far from the school and had half board with lunch."
Sue
"4 x 50 min study per day was perfect for me, as I studied for 9 weeks at Debla. There was homework 3-4x per week, which could take you 1-2 hours, depending on your knowledge. It's essential to take the time to do this properly as it supports your work for the following day and reinforces what you have learnt in class. I expected it to be challenging and I would say it was slightly more difficult, and tiring, than I expected. This was primarily because of all the new vocabulary and grammar I was learning. "
Francois
"I only had 13 hours of lessons, instead of the 20 I paid for!!!"
Dorota
"I would like to give soecial thanks to Maria and Pepe - open minding lessons"
Josephine
"Instructive.
Bring cash for coffee."

Student reviews about "50+ Course" at Debla
Dieter
"Expectations met"
Martin
"It was nice to have a mix of people from different countries, but also to have post-university students in their late 20s and early 30s. Perhaps it should be called "mature students" - 50+ age should not be a restriction."
Lise
"Too many with 8 students in a small room when practicing oral communication."
Johnny
"I was in a mixed group with a lot of young people, but it was fine.
Debla could make more detailed descriptions in the material so it's easier to follow up.
Many of us would like to see a result list for the tasks so that you are sure to have the correct answer."
Gertraud
"Is there then a 50 + course?
I was in a course with 17 year olds, 30 year olds and 70 year olds!"
Liesbeth
"It was not clear that the activities did not take place with the class but with several schools. Class is a mix, sometimes also people of 17 or 18.
I booked 2 more days of school for 32 euro per day. Remarkable because the 50 plus was above 500 for 2 weeks while there were hardly any large excursions that were included."
Lynn
"I learned a lot from my super tutors who put a huge amount of energy into helping me learn more about the language of Spain. The course was too advanced for me at this moment so I came home after the first week but as I live in Spain I can work at home to make the best use of my course work. Please thank my tutors. They were super!!!"

“Most of the teachers are very motivated and good at their job. They cover the material at a good pace (I was in B1) and in a period of 3 weeks they have covered most of the material of 1 level and continue with a new level (in my fall between B1 and B2, B12. You have classes in the morning from 9:00-13:00, or in the afternoon from 14:00-18:00. 4 x 50 minutes lessons, 1 teacher for the first 2 hours, other for the last 2 lessons. Groups are small (4-8), sometimes larger if groups are merged (max 12). Classrooms are small and not all have air conditioning. Lessons go fast.”
“I didn't like the slope to get to school very much. But on the other hand, you have a beautiful view once you get there. Lots of young students in groups (15–18 years old), most from Denmark, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy. Few people above this age during August, September. (Beyond that I don't know) This was a disadvantage for me because I was hoping for some connection.”
Insider tip: “Too much.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Fine.
Other comments: Thank you to all the inspiring teachers foreshadowing fine lessons thank you to the principal who really listened to my feedback on my last day of school.
School's reply: Thank you very much for your detailed review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the teaching quality, the pace of the classes, and the small group atmosphere.

“There's really nothing negative to say. Perhaps only that the school is located on a narrow one-way street with limited parking, and on top of a hill. This makes it difficult to get there by car and strenuous to get there by bike. My recommendation: walk or take the bus!”
School's reply: Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, the mix of ages, the teachers, and the activities.

“The school has a good culture of learning and is located in the vibrant town of Malaga in a location that is away from the traffic.”
“The facilities are a little cramped for the number of students attending, particularly when there are large classes outdoors as well as the indoor classes.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: It was nice to have a mix of people from different countries, but also to have post-university students in their late 20s and early 30s. Perhaps it should be called "mature students" - 50+ age should not be a restriction.

“Needed a library, larger social area (café) as hot outside, not the best at communicating activities as I missed the deadline for the weekend one. Student base too heavily from one country (Germany) which all form large groups and socialise with themselves, speaking in German - needs to be advertised a more varied demographic in this respect.”

“The experience overall was exceptional. Teachers were very motivated, friendly and organized. The classes had a good size, around 6-8 students depending on the days. On the first day I found out that with 4 hours (4x50min) of classes, you have 2h of grammar and 2h of conversation. It is a very good split, the teachers adapt very well to the level of the class and keep everyone involved. The school is a bit up the hill about 300m from the sea with fabulous views from the bright classrooms and the terraces. I can definitely recommend Debla.”
“Nothing negative to tell.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: The DELE exam preparation class that I took focused a lot on speaking and organizing a talk to prepare for the speaking part of the exam. The teachers were very challenging, which was exactly what I needed to make progress with my speaking.

“Inspiring and interested teachers”
“This is not necessarily a criticism. I realised in a class of Italian, Danish, German and Chinese speaking students how much the Italians (and probably the French) are facilitated in the study of language. This implies a faster possibility of progress, at least at the initial level, than a class like the one I took part in. Very nice to meet and compare, but a very large gap in Spanish comprehension.”

“I cannot rate the quality of the teaching as very good. The teachers spoke very quickly, so I often didn't understand the tasks and explanations. I was at level A2. The blackboards in the grammar section were not structured, it was written chaotically. I would have liked to see a coloured picture to memorise the word endings or something similar. The language section was okay, with good ideas.”

Student reviews about Homestay
Gilli
"I have already informed the school that there was no reading light or desk. The bedding was quite old. The room was small but there was a balcony and tiny view of the sea.
Marjolein
"Isabel took good care of me. A nice meal every night when I had no other plans. Lived in El Palo, quite far from school and center but very nice after school and on weekends with beautiful, natural beach 5 minutes away. School and center easily accessible from El Palo, only inconvenient if you want to go home from the center late at night, luckily cabs are affordable. Walked several times to school and center, along Pedregalego and along the paseo Marítimo, where you see the sun rise, about an hour walk. (So you have to like walking).
Yang
"I had a great time staying at Ana's house, she was very caring and helpful
Lise
"Very nice family.
Very good with private bathroom.
No air conditioning in the room was difficult.
Sabine
"I liked the accommodation in the host family very much. Everything was clean and tidy. The food was also very good.
Gertraud
"The landlady Merce is obviously dependent on the rental of her entire apartment for a living. But for that she would have to make a little more effort, especially with food (on the 3rd day I understood that I have to prepare myself the very spartan breakfast) and as dinner came a ready meal 2 min in the microwave - she never ate with me.
Aurora, my 2nd hostess, was very kind, eager - was ready at any time - after my program - to prepare the delicious food and eat with me. The distance to the school and beach were optimal. I would gladly come back to her anytime.

Student reviews about Shared Apartment
Horen
"The shared apartment was clean and well located near the beach, school and several supermarkets. My room was the smallest (around 7 m²) but quiet (well, that also depends on the roommates and neighbors).
Christelle
"The accommodation was perfect
Andreas
"I got a room at a great apartment that I shared with 4 other roommates. The apartment was very clean, just renovated, right down from the school and directly on the beach. My single room was tiny (about 7sqm or 80sqft, that's why I gave the room only 4 stars), but clean and sufficient to study with a courtyard view. The other 4 rooms were bigger and had views of the beach. Some minor inconveniences in the apartment, but the school remedied these within a day.
Hannah
"My flat share was great, the walls are relatively thin, but you can find new people very quickly. The location was also amazing because we were on a side street off the great Calle Marques de Larios. I was lucky that we had our apartment at the top of the house (including the roof terrace).

Is it possible to book one room for three people in the host family? We are three people.
“Yes, we can offer triple rooms for people travelling, depending on availability. Price per person in the triple room is the same as in a double room.”
Zulaika, Adminstration from Debla, Malaga - Dec 16, 2024
Which months can I do a Spanish course combined with paddle boarding?
“If you are looking for paddle boarding lessons, it is good to know that this combination is actually only offered in the summer months (Apr-Oct). This is because in the winter months, the sea is too rough for paddle boarding. However, if you are already a good surfer you could do water sports in the north of Spain in winter.”
Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 18, 2024
I am an advanced learner, will I benefit from a course?
“Even if you are advanced, you will definitely benefit from the course. You will be given a language test on the first day of the course and, based on those results, you will be placed in the right group.”

Does this school participate in the Erasmus+ programme?
“Yes, Debla, Malaga school participates in the Erasmus+ programme.”
Aurora Jiménez, Administración from Debla - Jun 19, 2023
I generally don't eat breakfast. Could I book half board in a host family, but instead of breakfast and dinner, get lunch and dinner?
“Yes, sometimes this is possible. Lunch in Spain, however, is a much more elaborate meal compared to breakfast, so there will be an extra cost per day.¡
If you want to have the exact same food for lunch as is offered for breakfast then this is no problem. Just leave a note in the remarks when booking.”

As a part of this course, you will receive a weekly tutor session to discuss your progress and any issues you might have, meaning that your teacher will be aware of all your learning needs.
