My husband and I completed about six months of classes at 2day over a nine month period. The…read moreteaching style feels very laid back and for someone with my control freak issues, especially around school, that was a hard adjustment. There are no tests (unless you ask for them), no mandatory home work and even the class group itself is fluid. Students join and leave the classes. Sometimes after a week and others after years. What was kind of weird for me at first ended up being a great experience. With the students who were at my side for several weeks at time, I found friendship and a great rhythm grew between us. We carried each other forward. Some days you are getting everything right and others nothing makes sense to you. The short term students added some variety and the repeitition helped enforce prior lessons. We did the intensive course which is 20 hours per week. I found that format very valuable. It allowed me to listen and talk a lot. For the most part the classes generally have no more than 4 people. Each teacher brings her own style and that helps you too. What you might not get from one explanation you will definitely pick up from another. They are all open to lots of questions, too. Even if you are shy, they make sure to encourage you to speak (if you want to). You're not only learning Spanish of course. You are learning about the culture. How does Spain's government work? What do work schedules look like? What's a good salary? How do I speak to my doctor? Where can I order cheaper contacts? I'm so sad to be leaving but I increased my level from high B1 to low C1 in six months of intensive courses. Whichever level you have in Spanish I think 2day is a good place to learn.

This language school is operated by highly skilled professors who know and really enjoy what they…read moreare doing. Each class will be memorable. The inside of the academy is beautiful with all natural light filling the huge rooms. You won't be disappointed. You can also participate in many free extra event activities. Even cooking!

Get what you pay for?…read more Let me start by saying I'd love to give Conversa Idiomas a strong review. Several of the staff are well-meaning and fun to spend time with. And, to be fair, the school is well-located, affordable, the class sizes are small, and the best teachers are very good. I attended an 'intensive' two hours per day elementary Spanish language programme for three weeks in November and I think my Spanish has improved. However... The school is small and this is also its greatest weakness. Certainly in November it was only able to offer a 2 hour per day programme (hardly intensive) and not any of the other major programmes advertised on its web site. The cohort ranged from 2 some days to seven at most, and the range of language skills is quite wide. For me, at least, there was no test prior to joining the programme, presumably because there was only one class available. The 3 or 4 hour per day programmes were not available. Turning to the school facilities - it is a small number of classrooms with a white board in each - that is it! No areas for networking (and the coffee vending machine has not been functioning for a long time, apparently); no use of ICT or language laboratory type facilities for when you are not in class. Quite a large turnover of teachers (I had three different ones over the period) and modest if any handover and continuity between them. No extra-mural activities and tokenistic pastoral care. I think it's probably OK for the casual expat who wants to pass the time of day dabbling in Spanish language, and it is cheaper than many other schools. But it's not for the serious learner...and 'you get what you pay for!'
