I liked everything.
I did contact at first the school direct but didn´t get answers to my email so I had to contact LI to subscribe to the school
It was an amazing experience, I’ll remember of it all my life !
My teachers were the best that I never had, they were very understanding and friendly, I felt very comfortable for speaking Spanish and for sure I improved my level of Spanish !
The location was perfect, the school was just in 5 minutes of the beach and for the break we had a big terrace which was very nice.
I recommend this experience 100% !
The content of the courses was spot on, exactly what I needed (use of Spanish present of the subjunctive).
The teachers are nice and very knowledgeable.
The location is central, which is good.
The only downside is the courses were not every day. I would have preferred having 2 hours of lessons every day rather than 3 or 4 hours every other day.
Hello Cédric,
Thank you very much for your review. We are sorry we could not offer you a 20 hours per week group course on the date you came, we hope to be able to do it if you decide to come back to our school.
We appreciate your comment, it has been a pleasure to have you as a student and you are missed by your classmates, teachers and administration staff. We hope to see you again soon.
Best regards from Marbella!
The school had devoted teachers and was in good location - at central Marbella.

Thanks for recommending our school :)
Our teachers are grateful for your words!
Positives:
- Evaluation before start of class
- Professional teachers, good mix of grammar, speaking, listening, exercise, etc.
- Many extras like leisure activities and activities to learn about Spain & culture
- The classes proceeded quickly with the chapters in the book and we didn´t wait for the slow ones who didn´t make the homework or didn´t learn the vocabulary (I find this positive because there is nothing worse to repeat again and again and wait for lazy people).
Negatives:
I was told that the classes would have 6-8 students; in summer time we were up to 10 or 11. That was only for 2 weeks though, but it was too much.
It would be good to have the classes more mixed – e.g. not all Germans together always in order to have more mix of nationalities.
No comment on housing, I had my private one.
Dear student,
Thanks for recommending our school and thank you also for your comment, this encourages us a lot and it helps us to improve our school. In recent years we have had groups of maximum 6-8 students, and we continue with our extra culture lessons.
We're glad that you had a good time with us and we hope to see you again over here :)
I liked location - not far from everything. School itself was nice - small classrooms. I liked instructors - Ana Lia was wonderful! Juan and Carolina were nice too.
The program was not as structured, as I would like it. (I can compare it to another Spanish Language School I went last year in Montañita, Ecuador). Myself and my friend had different levels of Spanish, but sometimes we ended up in one class. Also, my friend just started Spanish, but she was first day or two with somebody more advanced and she did not understand anything. At the end of our 2 weeks, somebody gave her appropriate for her level lesson. Messy!
Also, I was surprised, that nothing else, besides Spanish lessons, was offered by school.
Generally, it was good experience for me.
I cannot say anything about the housing, because I stayed in the hotel.
Thanks for recommending our school!
Your review have helped us a lot because this way we can better understand the students's situation and perspective.
Ana Lía, Juan and Carolina are pleased that you liked them as your teachers.
