De docent en de lessen waren goed. Maar over de accommodatie ben ik minder blij. Ik had vóór het boeken van de cursus nog specifiek gevraagd of ik in de accommodatie wel echt met alleen meiden/vrouwen zou zitten. En het antwoord wat ik daarop kreeg is dat ik zeker alleen met vrouwen zou komen. Toen ik aankwam in het appartement, sliep er dus ook een jongen. Hoewel hij hier in eerste instantie alleen als ‘noodoplossing’ (problemen met zijn eigen accomodatie) verbleef vind ik toch dat Hispania dit ook aan mij had door moeten geven. Hij bleef ook uiteindelijk iets langer dan een week, terwijl hij in eerste instantie twee nachten zou blijven. Ook hadden we in onze keuken maar één normaal mes. Dat is natuurlijk niet handig als je met vier mensen samen woont. En onze douche viel half uit elkaar... Plus de verf van het plafond van de douche was aan het loslaten, waardoor er regelmatig stukken oude verf in de douche lagen. Ik heb dit doorgegeven aan de school. Ze zouden het allemaal regelen, maar helaas hebben ze er niks mee gedaan.

My course: 4 weeks, 10 hours/week, A2/B1 level

Reception: the staff at the reception is very helpful, communicative and nice.

Classes: classes start on time. Teachers are patient, full of positive energy and make students actively participate in lessons. There is a friendly atmosphere during the classes. It should be noted that much attention is paid primarily to speaking and the lessons are conducted entirely in Spanish ("direct method of teaching". If you cannot understand something, it is possible to explain some part of the material in English).

Building: the school itself is a neat, clean building with modern air-conditioned classrooms and interactive boards. There is a cinema and a cafe on the school grounds.

More: it is possible to take part in extracurricular activities (some are free, some require a small fee of 5-10 €),which are a wonderful opportunity to meet new friends and are fun ways to learn the language.

To sum up: the stay in Hispania was a nice experience, after only 40 hours of classes, I noticeably improved my language skills. I definitely recommend this school and I look forward to coming back soon. ♥

I had a great time learning Spanish with Hispania! It's a very unique way of teaching that really helps you learn a lot of Spanish really fast. The teachers are great and give everything to make sure that you have a good time and learn a lot. I did feel like there was a difference in speed of teaching between the teachers, for example my class in the morning was amazing and just the right level of challenging, whereas the one in the afternoon was still great but could have been a bit more challenging for me. I found the school to be very accommodating if there are issues; if the level of your class is too high or low for you you can consult with them and they will help you out. The only problem I had was with the student accommodation. On my first day (a Saturday), something inside the lock of my door broke and I couldn't get in. A really friendly lady from school immediately helped out and came over even though the school was closed and it was outside of working hours. The problem was solved, but then when I could get into my room everything smelled really badly like smoke. When I told the school first thing Monday morning, they helped out and I could move to a different room in a different apartment the same day. So great school, great teachers and very helpful when issues arise. They really want to make sure you have the best time during your stay!
