I can highly recommend attending Debla to learn Spanish.

They provide high-quality teaching from the very beginning to the very end. Communication is clear, friendly, and fast. The teachers are kind, knowledgeable, and engaging. Lessons are varied and interactive, and the teachers are genuinely curious about our cultures. As a student, you feel very welcome—regardless of your age or Spanish level.

They also offer a wide range of well-organized activities every week, making it easy to meet new people.

The location is also very nice, just by the beach, 20 minutes to walk to the city centre.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with my experience at Debla!

I studied in Debla for two weeks and my Spanish improved a lot. The atmosphere at the school is amazing, the teachers are knowledgeable and can really deliver the syllabus, more importantly they are so nice and helpful. In addition I made lots of international friends. Really recommend if you are looking for a school in Málaga.

I studied Spanish here for a couple of months, starting from 0 - didn’t know a word. After 5 months, I was already confident enough to do job interviews in Spanish.

Of course, the learning itself is the most important part of going to a school, but what made the difference for me was the amazing team.

The professors really take the time to understand each student’s weaknesses and work on them in a smooth, encouraging way.

Beyond the classes, just walking through the door every day, being greeted by the whole team (not only the professors), made the place feel like home for a while.

Truly a welcoming and professional environment.

Highly recommended!

I had an awesome experience at Debla Malaga for the 4 weeks I was there. The teachers were super warm and welcoming, and the school itself was very well organised and in a beautiful location. I very much enjoyed the many extra-curricular activities on offer, which were really enjoyable and very easy to join up to. I would highly recommend Debla Malaga for their high-quality teaching in a beautiful and easy going environment. I hope I can return again!

I'm so happy that I chose Debla for my first ever Spanish course in another country. The teachers, especially Pepe, are the Best! Funny, knowledgeable and passionate. The lessons are always interactive with a lot of conversation. Grammar and important concepts are taught in a way that does not feel dry at all. I loved the more intimate atmosphere of the school, because it's not that big. School building as well as classrooms are well equipped. There are various fun activities offered each week. I'm already sad, that I only had time for a one week course, but I learned so much nonetheless! Thank you Debla!

I had an excellent week at Debla and only wish I'd booked to attend longer. The school is relaxed but professional, the teachers vary in styles and personalities so you never get bored. The office staff are also just as friendly and very helpful.

The daily excursions are fun and reasonably priced.

The school is just out of the centre but very close to local bus routes. You can see the sea from the balcony which is testament to the hill you need to walk up to get to the school! Not really a problem, but something to be aware of if you're not very mobile!

I felt an improvement to my Spanish after just one week and I would definitely recommend Debla. I would go back again in a heartbeat.

Highly Recommend Debla Spanish courses!

As a former student at Debla, I can confidently say that this is one of the best language learning experiences I’ve ever had. From the amazing administrative team to the outstanding teachers, everything about Debla exceeded my expectations.

I spent three weeks at DEBLA this past December, from the 2nd to the 20th, taking the super-intensive course from 9 AM to 3 PM. I joined the A2 level class, and it was truly an incredible experience. The atmosphere was dynamic, professional, and incredibly motivating.

When I first arrived, I struggled to understand Spanish, and speaking felt like an impossible task. But thanks to the incredible support from my teachers - Amaya, Juan Antonio, Encarna, Almu, and the other teacher who were equally professional. I gradually gained the confidence to speak fluently with native speakers. Each teacher had a unique teaching style, which kept the classes engaging and enjoyable.

What sets Debla apart is the variety of experiences they offer outside the classroom. We practiced speaking with locals through quick interviews, which was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in the language. I also participated in a Flamenco course, and the dance teacher was truly professional. Debla provides plenty of activities beyond the lessons, making the learning experience even more enriching and enjoyable.

I can’t wait to return to Málaga and continue my Spanish studies at Debla. If you’re looking for a place to learn Spanish in a supportive, professional, and fun environment, Debla is the perfect choice.

I studied at Debla from November 2023 to May 2024. I started practically from scratch, and after six months of studying at Debla I passed the DELE B2 exam.

The school has a wonderful friendly atmosphere, nice people, experienced interesting teachers. The school terraces offer a beautiful view of the sea, it is very pleasant to go out between classes. The classes are very interesting and productive, I went to school with great pleasure. There are no more than 10 people in groups, thanks to which the teacher can pay due attention to each student.

Many thanks to the school and the teachers!!!

I completed two weeks of work experience in this school, and from my perspective, it was a wonderful school. The staff were very supportive and friendly and created an atmosphere that I felt very comfortable in. The school itself isn’t big, but in this case they prioritised quality over quantity. The school has a very bright and airy interior which provides good shelter from the Spanish heat and it has lovely views of sea. Lastly, it’s very well-maintained and I can tell that the teachers take a lot of pride in this school.

I completed a two week Work Placement in February 2024 for the Erasmus Program after traveling from Ireland to Malaga with my College. My first impressions of the location after walking up the gorgeous mountain really impressed me when I turned around the corner and saw the vibrant, eye-catching Spanish School directly in my sight. When I knocked on the door on my first day of placement I was greeted by one of the receptionists at Debla, who kindly gave me a tour of the location along with showing me where I would be working for the next two weeks.

After two weeks of my work placement with Debla, I am so happy to have had this experience as a Marketing College Student in order to take what I have learned the past two years in Ireland and apply my knowledge of Marketing in a foreign country along with learning a new culture along the way.

All of the staff are very nice, helpful, generous and even helped improve my Spanish when needed assistance with words, phrases or even grammar. The teachers are lovely and helpful along with ensuring that the students are equipped with the correct tools when learning Spanish along with speaking the language as much as they can outside of classes.

The Student atmosphere in the school was vibrant, there are hourly breaks for students to grab coffee, tea, snacks in between classes and the prices for them are very reasonable.

Overall, I would highly recommend those who are looking to improve their Spanish or learn the language from the start to contact Debla Cursos de Espanol in Malaga, the prices for lessons are very reasonably priced along with lots of opportunities to meet new people and attend cultural activities with the school.

I took two weeks of Spanish lessons with Debla in August 2023 and learned a lot. The teachers are nice and extracurricular activities are well organised. It is good to know that the school has an agreement with German universities. As a result, 90% of the students are German. This is not a problem however it's good to know that it is a select number of very intelligent German students. These students are selected by their professor and may take Spanish lessons at Debla at the expense of German funds. Other students like me are added to a class, which makes the pace and level extremely high. I paid €410 for two weeks in August 2023 and, despite the high level, wanted to take another two weeks of lessons with Debla in May 2024. However, I see on the website that the pric

I had an awesome time at Debla Language School in Malaga, Spain! The school's beautiful location, fun activities, and friendly teachers made my language learning experience truly unforgettable.

Situated on a mountain, the school offered stunning views of Malaga that added a refreshing touch to our classes. The classrooms were spacious and well-equipped, providing a comfortable learning environment.

What I loved most about Debla was the engaging activities they organized. From interactive group discussions to cooking Paella, we had plenty of opportunities to practice Spanish beyond the classroom.

The teachers were really friendly and approachable. They created a supportive atmosphere where I felt comfortable asking questions and receiving personalized feedback. Their guidance helped me improve my language skills significantly.

While the placement within classes could be better, with different levels of students, the school was open to addressing any concerns. So, if you feel you're in the wrong level, don't hesitate to speak up!

Debla also arranged weekly city center tours for new students, allowing us to explore Malaga's cultural treasures while practicing our Spanish.

It was an amazing language learning experience in Malaga. The beautiful school, engaging activities, and friendly teachers made my journey truly memorable. I highly recommend it!

I attended the school for a week because this was all the time I had.

The teachers are not only incredibly helpful and good at explaining things, but they also teach with a lot of energy, which makes the classes enjoyable and engaging. The classes are small enough to give plenty of opportunity to ask the teachers for help, and the learning atmosphere is friendly.

I did the intensive course (4 hours a day) and the improvement I made to my Spanish in the week has been incredible.

Could not recommend this school enough, I will certainly be returning.

This is probably one of the best places in Spain to study Spanish!! From the location to the people and of-course the experiences. This Spanish immersion programme helped me become more confident in speaking Spanish in just two weeks!! I met the most incredible and sweetest people, and made some really good friends. The location is the best you can get, roughly 15 minutes walking away from the beach and only 10 minutes on the bus from the city centre. The school also helped me find affordable accommodation , I stayed with a host family. ( this is extremely useful as hotels can be expensive during peak times in summer ). I would definitely recommend this Programm to anyone learning to speak the language and they accommodate for all ages and levels.

I would highly recommend Debla if you wanted to study Spanish in Malaga. From the wonderful staff to the location. The staff are very friendly and provided me with some accommodation for the time I was there. The location is great with a bus stop only 5 minutes away and with near by restaurants and cafes. Once you are in the school the views are picture perfect. (Have to survive the hill first 😂) over all I had a great experience at Debla and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to study Spainsh.

It has been an amazing experience to study Spanish in Malaga at Debla. Everything has been perfectly arranged, I had a great accommodation located in the city center and the teachers at the school are very good and enthousiastic. I improved my Spanish rapidly and met great people from all over the world during my stay in Malaga, which is a perfect city to live that has everything. The city is also very close to other cities like Sevilla and Cordoba, where you go to on an excursion arranged by the school. All in all, I would recommend everyone to go to Debla for a language course!

I've just spent a hugely enjoyable week at Debla, having signed up for the over-50s course. For anyone seeking high-quality tuition in a fun, pressure-free atmosphere, it's a great place to study.

On this occasion, the older students were allocated to classes related to their language level (so they joined younger students for lessons), but came together for cultural activities.

I have done several classes at other schools in the past, including two in Málaga, and this was easily the most enjoyable and useful experience I have had.

Lessons at those other schools were slightly intimidating, which knocked my confidence a little. But there was no such problem at Debla. I found the tutors to be not only talented and professional, but huge fun too. It was education with a smile, and there was always a really positive, happy and friendly atmosphere, which helped me to seize the opportunity to learn.

There was a great mix of language and culture, and I and my group of student friends took part in everything that was on offer. We also spoke Spanish all the time, in and out of class. At the end of the week, two or three people said to me how they felt their Spanish had improved by throwing themselves into the experience in this way.

I was delighted to come away from the week with my knowledge of the subjunctive in particular much enhanced, and with great memories of excellent tutors and lovely students.

Debla is a special place and I will definitely be back in the future. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I only had one week of super intensive Spanish with Deba, but they really accelerated my Spanish capabilities. I absolutely loved having Antonio Jose "Tony" for my teacher (his teaching skills were equaled by his massive level of energy & humour), and meeting Amaya (who's super friendly & quirky), and Olga (who's really helpful with all my questions & requests). The school is housed in a large beautiful sunlit building with so much space inside as well as outside: the terraces and yard are all overlooking the gorgeous city. It's close to so much: beaches, restaurants, and walking distance to the city centre. There were not so many students (since we were among the first to join in person), but the level of attentiveness to health and sanitation is extremely high - I felt very safe there. I was hesitant choosing a school in Malaga, but I'm so happy to have gone with Debla - you feel so happy in that place, while learning lots (and yes, I know I should have written this in Spanish, but this is for all you other non-Spanish people) :) I'll go back again for sure!
