Three weeks became four and four become hopefully online classes, for now.

After 9 long years of not studying and speaking any spanish at all I attended intensive spanish lessons during 4 weeks and I loved it.
The Team was always helpful and you can clearly feel, they love their Job. I was taken care off, from day one, every question I had (I had a lot) was answered, every wish I made was considered.

With changing professors I had the chance to get to know different teaching methods and have found a good way for me, to study the language effectively and with fun. :)

I'm very happy of my improvement during that time and I'm already thinking about coming back.
Thank you inmsol! ☀️

Plus- Granada is a fabulous place to study. Its big enough to provide a variety of experiences outside the classroom, small enough to be entirely walk-able, and has a large population of University students. If you are considering studying in Granada check out IMSOL- I highly recommend it.

In fact, I was really happy about everything. First of all, the school is in the city centre, so close to everything.. the head of the school is kind and willing to help me to find the right family where to live.. the secretary was patient with me and helpful as well, asking me every day if everything was good and stuff..and to finish the teachers were amazing! the level of teaching is really high in my opinion, I had two teachers, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, I had individual lessons, and they were just amazing, I can assure you. I used to do a lot of different activities, listening, exercises, watching movies, in only a month I reached the C1 level in Spanish, and I started from a B1. Really recommended. Bye

I am so happy I chose this school! All staff was extrememy professional, always available to answer questions and respond to concerns. Materials were informative & professionally done. Thank you Rocio, Javier and all your collegues! Organisation was just perfect: every detail was thought through and organised in the best interests of the student. Courses were interesting, teachers - nice and competent, and my son made a huge step forward in his knowledge of Spanish. Test at the end of the course allowed to obtain an official certificate showing the level. Every week the school emailed me a personalised report with day-by-day description of the courses and other activities. Cultural programme was exceptionally well organised, introducing the students to the Andalusian region and culture with the right balance of information and fun (just imagine - Alhambra, flamenco dancing, trip to the coast, visiting Granada...), and fostering friendship among the students. My son still keeps in touch with friends he made at INMSOL. Accomodation was in a great family with 4 teenage children of their own, all very nice and welcoming and treating my child so warmly (thank you Beatriz!). I highly recommend the Teenage programme at INMSOL for every parent looking for a safe and fun place where their teenager could improve their Spanish and get a glimpse of the Spanish culture.

Although the original Curso de Formación de Profesores course wasn't available, I was very happy with the alternatives provided. I had C2 group grammar & culture classes with Roberto & private methodology & sociocultural classes with Juan Luis. Both teachers were outstanding. Roberto is a gifted teacher who knows how to connect on a personal level with each student. He's always enthusiastic, well prepared, punctual & designs lessons to include themes around art, arquitecture, music, pop culture, etc. There was always laughter in his classroom, which is a testament to him creating a positive & supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves, making mistakes & asking questions. My private classes with Juan Luis were incredibly helpful. He personalized each lesson to cover historical & contemporary topics that I wanted to explore for my sabbatical project (immigration, administrative law in autonomous communities, lenguas cooficiales etc.) He also provided a plethora of technology & teaching resources for teachers of Spanish as a second language. He also went above & beyond & set me up with an interview I wanted for my project. I've been teaching for over 22 years (16 at the collegiate level), so I've observed many educators over the years. I was very impressed with the quality of instruction at IMSOL. They support students in & out of the classroom by offering tutorials, films, field trips etc. The students are a fun, diverse group of different ages & ethnicities. The front office communicates well & seems eager to meet student goals. I highly recommend IMSOL for Spanish students (and teachers!) at any level. I hope to send my students abroad to study here in the future.

-I was placed in a level above where I thought I currently was. I originally had apprehension about this, but in the end, I am glad they placed me in the level they did. It really pushed me, and I think it helped me get the most out of my 2 weeks there (which included becoming more comfortable with the subjunctive mood).
-Xisca was my teacher for the 2 weeks and she is fantastic. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, friendly, and most importantly a good teacher.
-They had “after class” activities Monday through Friday which were included in the price. The after class activities were very good/helpful, but I really enjoyed the walking tours through Granada.
I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to improve their Spanish.

Good experience with the instructors, but dealing with the front office was a headache. Don't think that I would go with INMSOL again.

Pros:
I had Antonio as my instructor and I thought that he did a great job. He was very enthusiastic and made learning the language a lot of fun. Class emphasized developing conversational skills. Less focused on learning grammatical rules.

Pros:
I had Antonio as my instructor and I thought that he did a great job. He was very enthusiastic and made learning the language a lot of fun. Class emphasized developing conversational skills. Less focused on learning grammatical rules.

Cons:
1)
I had a number of payment issues with the front office. I was accidentally overcharged and also received an additional charge that I didn't understand. It wasn't easy to resolve these issue with the front office because they insisted on discussing all financial matters in Spanish. The director in particular was very uncompromising and not easy to work with. Eventually, we got everything straightened out, but it kind of killed my experience.

2)
My class didn't cover all of the material that I was told we would when I originally signed up.

3)
Most of the weekend trips and extra classes were canceled.

Summary:
Good experience with the instructors, but difficult experience dealing with the front office. Don't think that I would sign up with INMSOL again.
