“Large classrooms, central location”
“Very sterile, almost only white walls, like in a hospital!
Students come and go as they please, there were new participants in the class in the middle of the week!
Lessons strictly according to the book, solving one exercise after the other, only briefly corrected, but no examples
or sentences written on the board.
No relaxation, no relaxed, positive atmosphere, hardly any fun!
I have already been to various other Spanish schools. These are by far the worst!”

“Super nice teachers and organisers. I learned a lot and met nice people during the activities.”
“You have to organise the textbooks yourself, unfortunately it is not really worth buying the textbook for 2 weeks. Since it is especially designed for group work, you can only use it to a limited extent afterwards.”
Insider tip: “The art museum is good for very hot days. Admission is free and the building is air-conditioned.”

Student reviews about Homestay
Eva-Maria
"Very clean accommodation with a friendly and pleasant hostess.
Viktor
"I am very pleased.
Sophie
"I was not the only language student in my accommodation, which seems to be the case in several families in Alicante. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing, because I could only communicate with the other students in Spanish.

I wanted to ask if you offer courses for organized groups but without accommodation or activities in the afternoons; only the Spanish classes.
“The school can organize just the lessons for your group, but first we need more information about your group, which you can send us through the contact form for groups that you will find in the "Help and Contact" section of our website.”

Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 28, 2025
I understand that with the deposit (about 30% of the full amount) I can reserve the course now. When should I pay the remaining balance to the school at the latest?
“With Elcano, the remaining amount must be received at least 21 days before the course starts. If you also book accommodation with Elcano, we advise you to make the payment as soon as possible, as they cannot reserve the accommodation until they receive your full payment. ”

Are all classes in Spanish or English? Even if my English and Spanish skills are not good, can I take these classes?
“All classes are in Spanish for a real immersion experience. Even if you are a complete beginner in Spanish you can participate in the programme.
Teachers have plenty of experience in having students of many different native languages and adapting the content and rhythm of the class to them.”
