About AIL Madrid
In the Salamanca district, in the center of Madrid, you will find the growing language school AIL Madrid. The school is on the first floor of a modern building in a busy street in the luxury district of Goya - named after the Spanish master painter Francisco de Goya, whose works are often found in Spanish museums. Around the corner you will find the Retiro park, one of the largest parks in Madrid, which lends itself perfectly to escaping the hustle and bustle of the city center. In the school itself there is a Chill Out Room with lounge sofas where you can relax, learn and study between classes. Every teacher at the school has Spanish as their mother tongue, so they teach with ease and without any accent. The school attaches great value to the structure and quality of the Spanish lessons, which are therefore always well prepared and interactive.

"Excellent teachers and engaging evening classes at affordable prices"
"It’s been already more than 6 months at AIL, and indeed an incredible journey. Enrolling was quite easy, the staff really helpful (big shoutout to Camilo who is always super kind and helpful). I changed professors few times and all the times were very professional and fun. At the moment I had Maria for a while and she’s great, fun and energetic. I attend evening classes where we mix speaking, listening combines with lots of exercises and grammar/culture. From time we test our level and after the end of the course you are ready to progress to the next level smoothly. The other students are all international, with a fun and cooperative vibe. Prices are very affordable and in my opinion a big bargain considering the quality. I recommend attending in class for more immersive experience."
"Wonderful Madrid stay with great teacher Noelia and host families"
"I had an absolutely wonderful experience at AIL Madrid. I spent just over a week there and I had the absolute best time, I will definitely be coming back probably several times in the future, hoping to make a trip back this year as I loved it so much. I had such a great teacher Noelia, she ensured that everyone in my class understood what was going on and she was so helpful with questions and giving us suggestions about further reading we could do. The lessons were very well structured and allowed us to practice talking with our peers as well as completing exercises from the very comprehensive learning book. The campus itself is very comfortable, the classrooms are great and the facilities are very impressive. What I found especially great was the reception ladies were always so kind, and the lady working at the canteen/coffee shop downstairs was always so lovely too, making it a really positive experience. I met such cool other students from all around the world and will continue to keep in touch with them too! Also, it’s so convenient that the school are able to find great, checked host families and for me their links with other schools were perfect as I was able to take art classes whilst I was there. Thank you ever so much to AIL Madrid for making my first time in Madrid so special. PS Also there are delicious welcome tapas for your first week!!"
