"Una gran experiencia!"

Paola Picozzi, student from Italy

I really enjoyed my first Spanish course in this school. The teacher was very supportive and I appreciated his method based on practicing more than theory.
The school provided me a lot of information on the city and being not far from Pamplona city center, after school it's very easy to reach any point of the city.

"Mikel is an excellent Teacher and my Spanish has improved tremendously in one week of intensive classes"

claudia Audi, student from USA

The building is beautiful and the classes spacious. I ended up alone at my level so I learned a lot.
I had two different teachers every day . 2 hours each . Both were very professional. I would highly recommend the school.

"Fantastic"

Stephanie Sherman, student from USA

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience--it was hard, of course, and I should have stayed for months instead of a week. Nonetheless, I got a lot out of my course. The teachers were fantastic--patient and committed to teaching at the level of our small class of 2 students. The materials were helpful and, at the end of the course, they provide other resources to help continue learning. The school was centrally located in Pamplona, in walking distance to everywhere. Pamplona is a beautiful city and easy to get around, lots to see and do. The people were always helpful and let me try my basic Spanish without laughing!

I would highly recommend this school and plan on returning as soon as I can.
