The teachers were really amazing! Special thanks to Tamara and Carolina :).
They gave really good tips about Malaga and the culture, and were fun to be in the lesson with, improved the classes a lot.
The lesson material itself could focus more on practical examples in my opinion. For example how to order food in a restaurant instead of talking about food in general. (and depending on your course, pay attention your lesson could start at 8:30!)
For the rest it was perfect.

Overall, it was an enjoyable experience at CILE and I learned a lot during my 3 weeks there. The teachers were very good at explaining grammar in Spanish. The front desk was very helpful in answering questions and co-coordinating activities. I recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Spanish.

CILE is a straightforward Spanish language school; no glossy marketing, just proper teaching and learning. The admin staff are friendly and professional. The structure of educational programme is clear and organised. In my 6 weeks of intensive learning, I especially loved the split blocks of time dedicated for learning grammar and conversation for immediate practice. Books are included in the tuition and I was particularly impressed by the A1-A2 reference /workbook that had been authored by some of the teachers. The teachers I had were thorough, precise and they relied on their mastery of the target language. I learned a lot from their examples (versus consulting Mr Google 😀). They were patient and they helped me analyse my errors-- which is super important! Special thanks to Carolina and Ana, I feel lucky to have been tutored by these two amazing passionate ladies. Wishing CILE more power! Un abrazo, Lielou

I have been having weekly lessons at this school for 2 years and can highly recommend the small intimate atmosphere of the school and the quality of the teaching. All lessons are conducted in Spanish, which is the best way to teach a language !

I studied at Academia CILE in Malaga for 3 months in total between January and May 2018. I started at level A1 and was at level B1 when I left after 3 months of study. I will say that my 3 months of study made me able to use Spanish whenever I am in Spain now. However, learning Spanish is not a sprint, but more like a marathon. I returned for 1 week this year to see if I had maintained what I had learned and maybe if I had improved anything. I was not disappointed this time either, I had a great week and went out with some of the teachers for some beers, a great way of learning Spanish.

The reason for selecting CILE to learn Spanish was primarily the price and location. The school is located next to the cathedral and close to the beach, Malagueta. I chose the Super Intensive course II which gives you 20 group lessons and 10 private lessons per week (a lesson is 45 minutes). I can absolutely recommend you to take this course because having private lessons is really effective for you learning. It's up to you how you want to use your private lessons, so I changed my private lessons as I progressed in my learning and my needs changed.

The teachers, other staff and the owner of the school are all really nice. I went out with other students and several of the teachers many times during my stay at the school. I will recommend you to try to socialize with the local people and maybe use less time on homework if you have to prioritize. I used some of my private lessons to do homework, because then I could explain to my teacher how I was resonating and get feedback on what was correct or not.

I had different teachers during my stay at CILE, which I think is a good thing. Each teacher is different than the others, but all the teachers at CILE are great teachers and nice persons.

I can absolutely recommend CILE as your school for learning spanish. Just remember to have a positive attitude, make sure you have fun while learning spanish and don't be afraid of practicing it in the local community of Malaga.

I will keep going back to Malaga and CILE in the future too!
