"Wonderful staff and personal approach in Madrid"

"Had a great experience with Academia Contacto. The team are super friendly, helpful, and professional, which makes everything feel really easy from the start. They were extremely patient and gave guidance when needed. I’m originally from the UK and they helped with visa guidance with their experienced team were incredibly supportive. Their approach is also very personal, something that stood out, from other schools in Madrid. The school is also in a very cool neighbourhood with loads of great cafés and bars nearby. Overall, it’s really welcoming and I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking to learn Spanish in Madrid."

"Amazing school in Spain with visa help and great accommodation"

"Amazing school! I came in Spain for a year to pracrice my Spanish and had so many questions about getting a visa and school stuff helped me with everything. Also, I rent a room from school at Sandoval, it's very clean (cleaning lady comes every week), located in the best location possible, and has every amenity for a comfortable living Teaching system is very good here, teachers only speak Spanish during classes (but they know English as well), so at first it's very difficult, but then you get used to that and you can feel that your Spanish improves rapidly. Also, the school director is extremely nice and always ready to help if you have any questions 5/5, for sure. I'm really glad that I picked this school"

"Excellent teachers and a welcoming atmosphere, highly recommended"

"This is an excellent spanish learning school. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and I was made to feel very welcome from day one. The teacher, Sandra, has a very good teaching style and uses a number of different methods to make the lessons interesting and flow well. She is particularly good, and patient, at explaining some of the more difficult aspects of the language which would otherwise hinder the learning. The class contains many very interesting people from around the world, who have helped make the experience very rewarding. After my first 3 weeks i have become more confident with the language and am able to use it more widely than before. Looking forward to the next few weeks. Highly recommended."

"Great intermediate course with small class and fun teacher"

"I had a great experience doing an intermediate course in person at Academia Contacto. The teacher had a sense of humor and made learning the language fun. The class size was small, around 8 people, and there was plenty of interaction between students and practical conversational exercises. We also got handouts and book recommendations. Overall a great experience for a 4 week summer course."
