Palma has a Mediterranean climate, the climate classification named after the sea surrounding the city. There is a significant marine influence to warm winters, but summers are warmed by the surrounding continental landmasses.
There is a large historic centre, overlooked by a magnificent gothic cathedral, towering over the old town. Palma de Mallorca also has an impressive Marina, great place for an evening stroll as the sun goes down
I attended this doble intensive course (level B1) only for one week, but despite this I learned quite a lot. Particulary speaking spanish whole the time was very useful for me. I had five clases four hours each in groups and two hours per day private conversations. The teachers were very good and I liked the contact with the student colleagues from different countries. The location of the school is reachable only 1 km from the center of the town. In the future I plan to attend an other course but perhaps of longer duration.
Show details » Read more...Placed in a beginner group at first, i have been able and authorised to change group, and i have been really supported.
teachers proposed 2 cultural outings during the week I was in class. I attended these outings and it was a real complement to the class.
Signing up for the class was a bit confusing because on the website it is not clear that Language International and the actual school are different entities. Separately owned. Language International gets a percentage of what is paid to the school.
Also it is advertised as two classes per day when it is actually one.
I enjoyed the classes but I wish there were more older adults. The teachers were all great. The location is fine if you are close to Palma, but I wish there were a school on the east side of the island as it was 2 hours of driving every day. This is why I only registered for one week. Also parking is a pain in this location.
The facility could use some comfortable chairs and some tables. my class had only tiny desks not even big enough for the class book- let alone to be able to write. And try sitting in one of those chairs for several hours. Not good.
I went to the museum as the activity and it was great. Loved our guide/teacher as well as the art and the history of the building
Overall it was a nice experience but I likely won't come back do to how far away it is from where I stay.
A very nice school with good courses, very good books and fantastic teachers!
Show details » Read more...I had a really good week, even though we were only two students. it was the first week in January and things weren´t propably the way they normaly run. We did not have the afternoon progrramm etc. After all i liked the teachers a lot, the spirit, the school and facilites. It was close to my hotel and could walk within five minutes.
I will come back and continue.
Both my husband and I followed a 3-week intensive course at ELE USAL Palma. The classes were interesting, the teaching was professional and the activities varied. My husband would have benefited from being at the right level tover the 3 weeks but unfortunately there wasn't a B2 class the whole time we were there.
We did not say in accommodation provided by the school so can't provide feedback.
Professional teacher who only spook Spanish which is very good. Nice size on class. Good facilities and central location.
Show details » Read more...Really liked the classes, time flew by. The teachers were really good. I had Pilar for 4 days, she was really nice and good at teaching. Also very enjoyable. The subsitute teacher for the last day was really good as well. Feel like i have really learned a lot.
The facilities in school were good. Also the book and possibility to lend it was nice.
The accommodation was okay, not really luxury but then i also havent payed that much so it was good enough for the price it costs. The single room was really nice though! Especially the van since it was really hot inside and the ac didnt make it into the room. An ac would be better ofcourse. The thing i did not like was the bathroom, the toilet did not flush and the shower was not much water. But still overall experience and price wise was really okay!
I also think the contact in the beginning with Magdalena was really nice. She was really helpful and quick with responding. Made my first day really good. Also the help before the trip by email is really helpful and nice.
Thank you for everything and perhaps you will see me somewhere in the future!
Thanks very much Lisanne for your review, all our teacheres are very professional, native and implementing our methodology day by day.
We try to improve accomodation facilities, thanks for letting us know.
We'll let Pilar know about your opinion, she will be very happy!
Looking forward to meeting you again in the future!
everything was ok, I found a professional and very cooperative personal, the teacher - Alberto - was professional and very friendly too. Thank you!
Show details » Read more...The classes were very good and I learned what I needed to pass my Spanish exam at my school. The location of the house was also good but communication with the lady who welcomed me was not always easy.
What I really missed are group activities with people my age: I would have liked to go to the pool, the beach, play soccer or visit the old town... I found myself very lonely and without the possibility of contacting young people .In the end my mother had to organize snorkeling and other things from Switzerland.
It’s a good school with friendly teachers. I learned a great deal of Spanish which was really nice. You can rent a book but no material is provided. Classes are small so you can converse a lot. Although it says 16+, I would not recommend to anyone below 20 because there are no teenagers, youngest are around 18-20 so quite a disappointment for my 16-year-old self. There are some activities organized by the school like visiting the cathedral or castle but only a small amount of people join if anyone at all. I stayed with a mother and her six-year-old son. She was very kind to me, brought me along with her to various beaches and restaurants. Her apartment is in a great location and I had my own room which was nice. She has a dog and two cats so it can get a little loud and unhygienic. The food was okay.
Show details » Read more...Many thanks for your feedback, we are always working on improving our quality in teaching methodology and depending on the season, there are more teenagers or not so many unfortunately. Anyway, we're glad you could learn a lot.
Procedure: The first hour at the Spanish school, I took an oral to confirm the level that I had indicated when I registered. We were 3 students during the week (from level 5 (level 1 to level 5 (the highest)). 3h30 of lessons in the morning from a textbook bought or rented on site. 2 sequences were covered during the week mixing reading, text comprehension, application exercises Themes of the sequences then accentuated orally (exchanges between the students).
The school also offers 2 activities per week after class: a cultural visit and an outdoor culinary educational activity.
The teacher is competent, helpful and pleasant. She also speaks English.
The school is located in the city center near the national police center! Reassuring...
Facilities: classrooms, computer room... (see their presentation catalog attached).
I was staying at the Palladium hotel 3 minutes away on foot.
To conclude, I liked this week of superintensive courses and I would like to renew it with pleasure...
Thanks very much for your kind words. It's always a pleasure to welcome and teach Spanish to our students. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
I had one to one lecturing. It was a great experience with my two tutors. This summer I like to continue.

Location was good. Teacher was very nice. Would have been better if there were more people my age

I liked everything, especially my teacher Pepe, who movement from grammatik to colloquial Castellan.
