Last year, post covid, I decided I wanted to travel again, especially visit more of Spain and also improve my spoken Spanish. So I spoke to a friends and he recommended Lingua school so I booked a week (including accommodation) during September 2021 for beginner/intermediate lessons. This turned out to be one of the best decisions and weeks I’d ever had!

The teaching was brilliant; fun, relative and interactive. The other students were from totally different parts of the world, this really added to the experience and reminded me of university. Then, there is the fact you’re in one of the best cities in Spain with so much to do and see! After school you can visit the Alhambra, go for endless (free) tapas, and then enjoy the varied nightlife of the city.

I enjoyed it so much I came back to do another 2 weeks!

In october I have had a great time at Linguaschools Granada. An excellent program with full attention for grammar, vocabulary and speaking skills of the Spanish language. I have learned in one week more than at home in 5 months (1 hour a week). In a small group with international students of different countries and marvelous teachers I became on a higher level Spanish in a short time. Linguaschools is situated in the centre of the beautiful historic city Granada. Besides the intensive program regarding the Spanish language there were opportunities to learn more about the history, the arts and the culture of Granada and Andalucia. The excursions were guided by well informed specialists. I lived in an apartment shared with 2 other students of Linguaschools Granada. There are a lot of opportunities to enjoy the nightlife of Granada. When you order for a drink you always get a tapa for free. I am looking forward to go again to Linquaschools Granada. It will feel like coming home. I definitely want to recommend this language school. You will have no regrets. - Sorry I cannot delete the double photos

I returned to the school this summer because of my great experience the first time.

Linguaschools Granada is a small Spanish school located very close to the center of town. They offer group and private classes, then in the afternoon, different excursions around town. The optional afternoon activities include a variety of adventures, including a neighborhood walk through the Albaycin, a Flamenco show in a famous cave in Sacromonte, and a visit to the Arabic Baths. Each week the activities change! For example, there is a "Ruta de Tapas" where a teacher takes the students to a couple great tapas bars. On the weekends, there are trips out to locations outside the city, like a day at the beach or a hike through the Sierra Nevadas.

All of the teachers are amazing. I worked with Alicia and Ana on this trip. Both were so friendly and helpful. They made the classes interesting and useful. Sometimes we would work on reading and writing, or other times we would simply chat (while secretly practicing the subjunctive and my speaking and listening skills.) I took some group classes and private classes. Both had their advantages. In group classes, I met so many students from different countries and learned about their cultures. In private classes, I was able to get individualized lessons for what I needed to work on. Between classes, all the students and teachers would go to a cafe across the street to chat and unwind.

During my first stay two years ago, Linguaschools connected me with a Spanish family to live with. I had such a great experience, I requested the same family and was able to stay with them again. They all were so friendly and patient as I tried to speak my broken Spanish to them. Every day their would be a HUGE lunch with the whole family and sometimes even the neighbors. I loved spending time in the living room chatting with them as I completed my homework. They even included me in family events, like a weekend at the beach or a dinner out to watch Spain in the World Cup. I would completely recommend staying with a family if given a chance. (My Spanish mom works with several schools in the Granada area, and she says Linguaschools is the best.) :)

I returned a second time to the school because it was such a great, personalized experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Linguaschools to anyone wanting a true Spanish experience.

I’ve tried a few different methods and schools since I moved to Granada from the states, and Linguaschools by far has been the best for learning. The grammar sessions reinforce basics and build more on top with every lesson, and the speaking sessions create an environment for everyone to be comfortable speaking and build their confidence talking about current events and topics that come up at the water cooler at work or out at a bar...

My teacher, Ana, is absolutely fantastic. Situated in the heart of Granada, the school's location couldn't be more ideal. The atmosphere exudes warmth, making it incredibly inviting and friendly. Moreover, forging friendships with fellow students was an enjoyable and enriching experience. My teacher, Ana, is absolutely fantastic.

I had a wonderful experience at Linguaschools Granada! The staff is very professional and take time to help students individually while teaching the whole class. We would have conversations about our interests to help us practice speaking Spanish, but also practice the grammar we were learning each week.

I told them my goals in learning Spanish, and they helped me specifically meet them, like taking and passing the DELE and ACTFL, etc. The teachers also gave great suggestions for enjoying Granada and the area on the weekends! I got to explore all of Andalucía over my stay. The school apartment was clean and both the school and apartment are located in the city center.

They discriminate against queer female presenting folks and non-binary transgender people. Make fun, tease, all professors join in. I had a teacher "jokingly" strangle in front of the whole class and violently shake me for asking a question. They also don't like Americans. A profesor told me we are all ignorant. Not all of us are, lol. For long term learners, it's difficult to plan anything because hours of class change weekly....

Impossible to schedule appointments, etc. if you're queer/non-binary/transgender steer clear... trying to save you the emotional damage from discrimination this school has inflicted on me. Find a different program.

Well, I didn't heal from nursing during the pandemic, in fact, I ended up with more trauma from this program.

Update:
Never heard back regarding the "investigation" that took place. I emailed roughly 10 times with only one response, "come in so we can talk face to face." I was already in my home country.
Another update, my only saving grace was that I got my student visa rejected, but I still haven't gotten my refund of my tuition I paid for, (I paid for the entire year and only attended this school for 3 months) and it has been 3 months since I left Spain. They've thrown every excuse to "waiting on student to return." To the latest one is they don't know how to do a wire transfer, and supposedly they figured it out but I still haven't received my money. They said they "took care" of my concerns but they didn't. I didn't even get an apology email. And for the last three months they've been trying to keep my tuition money and keep my refund.

Small-scale, informal atmosphere, excellent teachers, interesting and fun activities in addition to the regular lessons. Staying in an apartment offers a nice combination of independence and opportunity to contact and practice speaking skills. The apartment is not luxurious, but it does offer all the amenities you need and is a fifteen-minute walk from school. Granada is a beautiful and vibrant city.
