Ein Aufenthaltsraumn für Pause oder Schulaufgaben zu machen wäre wünschenswert. Die Klassenzimmer sind eher zu klein, zu eng. Sie bieten wenig "Bewegungsfreiheit". DANK der kleinen Gruppe konnte ich viel profitieren/lernen. Verpflegung stets frisch zubereitet und sehr gut. Zimmer für 2 Personen klein. Hat nur einen kleinen Tisch, wo nur 1 Person daran arbeiten (Hausaufgaben machen) kann. Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich.

« Auf jeden Fall habe ich Fortschritte erziehlen können. Ich verstehe sehr viel über das Hören. Die Lehrpersonen haben sehr gut aufgebaut und immer wieder das erlernte in den Unterricht eingebaut. Die Durchmischung der Sprachen untereinander zwingt einem sich auf eine gemeinsame Sprache zu konzentrieren. Die Lehrpersonen haben Worte, welche wir nicht kannten, anschaulich erklärt. Der Aufbau der Gramatik war ebenfalls sehr gut und verständlich. »

Le seul soucis de mon séjour: la diversité des nationalités. 4 français sur 8 dans ma classe? Bon je sais que nous avons été trié par niveau et que les nationalités n'ont pas été regardé lors du tri, mais quand même! Y a un effort à faire du côté de l'école là-dessus. 4 français, ça en fait des tentations de parler français, et les autres ne s'en privent pas entre eux, même en classe. Bof bof par contre me faire acheter du matériel de cours à 35 €, pour utiliser au mieux 6 pages du bouquin. Pareil 3 brésiliennes dans la chambre, et deux marocains, c'est pas facile de s'intégrer. Je précise que ces personnes ne se connaissaient pas d'avant mais ont quand même été mis ensemble. Pour un passionné de voyages ET de langues étrangères, je ne pouvais rêver mieux que l'ESL qui combine excellemment les deux pour mes vacances !

« Discutez avec les autres élèves, balladez-vous, parlez aux gens. J'ai eu d'excellents retours des madrilènes dès lors que je commençais ma phrase par "hablo un poquito espanol", même si je bégaye un peu et cherche mes mots, les locaux étaient ULTRA sympas avec moi juste pour cet effort que je faisais pour parler leur langue. Lancez-vous ! »

Le fait d'avoir été à Madrid m'a permis de bien comprendre la langue, par rapport à certaines régions d'Espagne où c'est plus difficile.L'accueil à l'école fût très bon et les professeurs sont très motivants. Manque de chauffage dans certaines classes, pendant cette période de froid, même si je ne suis pas frileux.Je dirais qu'il manque aussi une salle commune où les étudiants peuvent se retrouver et travailler ensemble avec du matériel pédagogique à disposition. Le livre de cours est très bien pour les cours en classe avec un prof. Quasiment inutilisable pour travailler seul. Ma chambre était propre et fonctionnelle. La sdb était aussi propre est fonctionnelle mais à partager avec un autre étudiant, ce qui n'était pas un problème car nous avions de très bons contacts. La propriétaire des lieux était très gentille et m'a surtout fichu la paix en lien avec ma liberté. Les contacts avec le couple étaient peu nombreux car la différence d'âge était trop grande pour créer un lien (83 ans). Mais je recommande cet endroit où on se sent bien. Offre de loisir sans plan B. Le lieu qu'il voulait nous faire visiter était fermé quand nous sommes arrivés à sa porte.

Don Quijote, Madrid
Duration: 4 weeks

Madrid is an amazing town. The peaceful “Parc del Retiro” is a great place to have a walk, go jogging or lie down on the grass and enjoy the sunshine while chatting with your friends from school.

Host family
Host families are located about 30 minutes from the school and will provide you with a single room with half-board. This experience will not only allow you to practise your Spanish on a daily basis, but also to get to know the authentic Madrileño lifestyle: their customs, food and everyday language. Staying with a host family is the best way to improve your Spanish outside of class.

Shared apartments
Shared apartments are a very popular option in Spain and give you the opportunity to live with other international students. You will stay in a single room and share the living room, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with your flatmates. The apartments each have a TV and washing machine. This is a sociable way to live and meet people from all over the world.

Student Residence
If you’re looking for the freedom to explore the beautiful Spanish capital, this residence is a great choice for those who want independence. Located just a five-minute walk away from the school, you're just a stone’s throw away from local tube stations and bus lines, and only a short walk away from one of the trendiest areas in the entertainment district. The residence provides the option of either single or double fully equipped rooms (table, chair, air conditioning, flat screen TV, and Wi-Fi access), with bed linen and towels provided. A private bathroom is available at extra cost. Choose from full board, half board or breakfast only, and make use of the communal kitchen, living room and dining room.

Spain’s cosmopolitan capital offers an abundance of opportunities, whatever your tastes. Legendary museums including the Reina Sofia, Thyssen and Prado are full to bursting with masterpieces, reflecting the longstanding association between Madrid and fine art. After class, you could also take a relaxing stroll through the lush Retiro Park or the Winter Gardens of the Royal Palace. Madrid’s shops are second to none and the local nightlife is legendary, whether you want to enjoy a rooftop bar in the warm evening air, tapas of all varieties or nightclubs that start late and end much, much later.
