Super organized, very friendly, even for personal preferences how you would like to learn they are here for you. Special shout to my lovely teacher Alba. I stayed only two weeks but I hoped it had been longer. I’ll probably go again next year 🔥

The best school of Expanish...I was last year in Barcelona, but they are not comparable...I also wanted to visit the school in Madrid, but after the experience of this year here in Malaga I won't change for next year...big love is going out to my sisters from another mother Alba, Maria y Tina😘

I have really enjoyed my classes, the teachers are kind and patient and the classes are very structured and engaging. I have had a lot of fun while learning and I can’t wait to continue and take my Spanish to the next level! Thank you.

Full immersion is not suitable for beginners. Unless you have a basic grasp on Spanish it's better to pursue other avenues initially. Expect for classes to be poorly matched in terms of ability due to insufficient student numbers.

This school is excellent in all areas. Before the course: the video intake interview, the written preparations and tests. Then the reception and the course itself. I had an incredibly nice and very competent instructor. I had a one to one course. It clicked very well between her and me. For me, the course was mainly for conversation and picking up some grammar that was no longer so clear in my memory. The method that the school uses for this forces you to talk about all kinds of topics in the times that needed refreshing (at least for me). I had a great time! I will definitely go back. Thanks!!! p.s.: the school was 2 streets away from our apartment. Very cool!!!

The school is amazing. I enjoyed all the classes a lot and learned so much! They were both educational and fun—just the sort of vacation I wanted. Thank you so much to all of you!

Really enjoyed my time at Expanish. The classes are very interactive & teachers are excellent at bringing students along at their own pace. I would recommend to anyone to join regardless of their level of Spanish.

This school is great. They make you feel at home far away from home. They make sure that the lessons are fun and diverse.

Communication with the school was great, really prompt and straightforward. The teacher was engaging, encouraging and definitely not afraid to push learning. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for lessons!

I had a great experience at Expanish and would definitely come back! The school has a welcoming atmosphere, and my teacher for the first two weeks, Desiree, was absolutely fantastic—engaging, funny, and really helped me improve my Spanish. I had the most amazing classmates, we played some games that really made Spanish learning a fun experience and I was looking forward to the classes each day. Overall I had such a good time I decided to extend for another week.
However, in my third week, the classes were combined, so I ended up repeating a lot of what I had already learned. The classroom also felt quite small for the number of students (before we were six and then we were about 12 people). It was really loud because the classroom was so small and of course we couldn’t talk as much. My teacher that week had a different style, which didn’t work as well for me, but she was still kind and helpful. It felt more like going back to school and working through exercises in a book.
The school itself is fairly small, so I cannot say how crowded it gets during the high season, for January though it was perfect and made it very cozy and easy to get to know the other students. Everything was really new, clean, and very bright, so overall a lovely place to study, if your class is not fully booked.
That being said, I really enjoyed my time at the school, and I appreciate the effort they put into teaching and also the (mostly free or fairly cheap) activities they plan on the afternoons!

I had an excellent experience in Malaga with Expanish. I'm a complete beginner, and the teachers are fantastic. Thank you Elena, Gabriel and Nieve for your patience and enthusiasm! I really enjoyed the extra afternoon classes, and the activities provided by the school - Saul was a very informative guide. The school itself is located in the city centre, and very accessible. All the staff are very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend the school to anyone interested in learning Spanish in Spain.

Great school. The atmosphere and teachers were great. All the activities as well. I really enjoyed my time there and I would come back. School is centrally located next to all the bars and restaurants. Accommodation from the school was exceptional as well. 2 minutes from the school, strict centre and clean. If you want to learn Spanish go there

I had a great time at Expanish! The teachers were very friendly and dedicated. Elena uses varied and modern teaching methods, so it’s never boring.
The school has just the right size to meet a lot of fun people from many different countries without it being too anonymous. Expanish also puts in some extra effort to make students more familiar with each other (welcome activity, Friday graduation ceremony). That was very helpful. :)
Every day, the school offers evening activities (most of them free). On the weekends, there are optional field trips to different cities, which cost you a little bit of money of course.
I stayed in a shared apartment, which was okay overall (clean, nicely furnished, just 2 minutes away from school). The only downside was that is was located right above a popular club, so it was enormously loud all night. So if you’re sensitive to that, I recommend addressing the issue beforehand to see if you can be accommodated somewhere else.

Had an amazing time at Expanish! The classes were relatively small, making learning easy. I went by myself so I loved the opportunity to go to events in the evening and meet new people. And special shout out to Elena and Alma for being outstanding teachers. Great job!

I was a student in Spanish A1.1 for two weeks, 4 hours a day. It was better than expected in terms of teaching, facilities and entertainment. Photo from the paddle surf activity.
Improvement areas might be the book provided, that was not fully designed for own studies. However, the teacher compensated by using a lot of material for own studies and used a lot of other material in class.
I will continue to enrol with this school, since so fun and inspiring. 👍

My two children attended the summer camp, the content is a perfect balance between language tuition and fun activities. The staff are genuinely kind and really took care of my son who became a little unwell on one of the days (nothing to do with the camp). I also did an adult intensive course and really made a lot of great progress in the space of one week. I would highly recommend Expanish and we intend to return next year.

My son attended the language school in Malaga he had a brilliant trip and loved his Spanish tutors. He me people from all over the world and came home after three weeks with a much better grasp of the language. Thank you Expanish

My time at Expanish School was amazing! The staff/teachers were wonderful and very helpful and I learned a lot. Also, I booked a home stay with a lovely Spanish lady and had an over all great experience.
10/10 recommend :)

My experience with Expanish in Málaga was very positive. The teachers and support staff are wonderful—very friendly and dedicated to the students. The school itself is excellent—new, clean, and spacious—and the location in El Centro Histórico is perfect. They regularly organize events outside the classroom, which were fun, and they have Español en Vivo, where students hit the streets to practice their Spanish skills.

It's an amazing language school, located in the heart of Malaga. I studied here for two weeks on an intensive course and really learnt a lot. Can totally recommend it to anyone!

As a couple in our 50s we decided to work on our Spanish skills a bit more and booked two weeks intensive class at Expanish in Malaga. The school was absolutely well organized administratively, quick and precise to respond and very knowledgeable. The teaching staff was professional and very friendly and helpful. They used a wide array of books, computer and other digital tools to engage students at different levels of reading, writing, listening comprehension and a lot of speaking. I wish I had two months or longer to stay.

I think the school is excellent. I am full of respect for Gabriel who was excellent with handling a group of various nationalities, backgrounds and past learning experience. I do teach myself and I know how difficult it must be. He also made everybody feeling well and appreciated as he has this very positive and welcoming attitude. Top class teacher. I also enjoyed the school location, the general vibe and attitude to students.One week was not enough but yes I may be coming back!

My wife and I spent a week attending Spanish classes at Expanish Málaga. It was a phenomenally enriching experience. We had both signed up for the 20 hour per week classes which consists of 3 classes per day. My wife was in the A1.2 class with several other students at her level. I was in a B2.2 class with 2 other students who were super comfortable speaking in Spanish at super fast speed :-) . My teacher Desirée was absolutely amazing. I learned a lot in 1 week and it helped build my confidence to speak in Spanish. I wish I had more time to spend to be able to spend a month at Expanish Málaga to improve my ability to speak more confidently. The school is super fun with a warm environment. Canela, who is the Director and runs the school; Esperanza the Academic director, and Sei who coordinates events for the students are all super amazing and always accessible to the students at any moment for any help. The events in the evenings were a lot of fun and socializing with students from many countries was an awesome experience. If you are looking for a warm friendly school with a rigorous focus on learning Spanish, I would highly recommend Expanish Málaga.

I was only there a week but thought the teaching was fantasic. Lively and amusing, with plenty of opportunities to practice speaking, while also being clear and methodical on the grammar. I appreciated the encouragement and individual attention we received and feel more determined than ever to keep on learning Spanish. Many thanks.

Had a terrific week of Spanish classes with Expanish in Malaga. The school is right in the center of the old town but is modern and charming. The teachers were excellent and adapted easily to the level of the individuals students. Everything was well organised, with clear communication and classes started right on time. In the afternoon fun activities were organised in and around Malaga.

I have learned Spanish at Expanish- Spanish School in Malaga only two months, but it’s unbelievable for me I would understand and participate in the conversations with other students in our lessons. Thanks for the best teacher of all time - Lidia!

I want to thank Expanish for the wonderful time I've had in the school. The staff is very nice and helpful. I didn't have any troubles with signing up and getting my class schedule. And all the teachers here are highly professional and very friendly. I've made a huge progress in 3,5 months from barely A1 up to B1. I thought that studying four hours a day would be mind blowing, but I was wrong. The process is very well balanced, the atmosphere in the class is great and there are extra classes activities that are very fun and useful.
¡Muchas gracias! Espero volver pronto :)

I studied Spanish for three weeks in Malaga, Spain during November-December 2023. It was an amazing experience that I recommend to everyone regardless of language level! The teachers were committed, incredibly caring and you quickly became included and part of the "family" as they so nicely called us. Classes with few students and with a strong focus on speaking the language. The school also had several free activities during the week. Again: I highly recommend!
LM
I really enjoyed learning Spanish at Expanish. Juanma is a great teacher and makes the lessons interactive and fun. Students were all kind and friendly and we were afraid to have a go at talking and making mistakes was how we learnt. Additionally all of the staff are really welcoming! Thanks everyone 🙂

I've been to several language schools in different countries: Expanish Málaga is by far my best experience! The facilities are modern and very welcoming, the whole team is very friendly, courses are well structured and focus on language practice: just what you're looking for !! The activities are varied and the services offered by the school are great! You meet lovely people and feel at home straight away!
I was only able to stay for a two-week period, but all I want to do is coming back!
Muchas gracias Expanish Málaga ❤

Best language school in town! Great location and the people and profes are just so friendly and helpful. You are classified to your current Spanish-level in the beginning so they can provide the right education for your level. The two weeks here really helped to improve my Spanish and the time was flying. The school also provides some activities in the afternoons. So if you are alone in Malaga, you can connect easily and get to know the city and its traditions better. Thanks to all for the good experience! Un abrazo!

Really great school, right in the center of Malaga. Elena was a fantastic professor: very responsive, supportive, and engaging. I only stayed one week though still noticed some improvement in my speaking and listening skills.

I attended this Spanish language school located in the city center of Malaga for a 4-month course, with classes twice a week in the evenings. The option for evening classes was incredibly convenient, especially for those of us who has work. I successfully completed both A1 and A2 levels and now feel much more confident using Spanish language.
One aspect I truly appreciated was the flexibility of the school. I had to pause my course for an extended period due to illness, and they were understanding and accommodating.
The teaching staff, particularly Maria and Elena, were exceptional. They were not only friendly but also highly organized, always ensuring that any doubts or questions I had were promptly addressed. This level of support left me highly satisfied with my experience at this school.
I will definitely continue my studies with them after my break, and I would strongly recommend this school to anyone seeking quality Spanish language education, especially with flexible scheduling options.

My wife and I had a fantastic week in September. We booked the intensive 5 day, four hours per day course, and we were not disappointed. As EVERYTHING was in Spanish you really have to concentrate but the result was excellent.
The modern and clean and new facilities in Malaga were brilliant but best of all were the tutors. Nothing was too much trouble and we definitely learned so much. We will return. THANK YOU
