Si estás pensando en meterte en esta academia, lee esto primero…read more Yo firmé un curso anual porque en la reunión de venta me prometieron 14 días de prueba desde que empiezan las clases. Si no me gustaba, devolución completa. El tipo que me atendió --me presentaron como "coach"-- me lo repitió varias veces. Tengo 9 audios donde lo dice claro. Por eso pagué. Empecé las clases, vi que el método no servía para nada, y pedí mi plata de vuelta dentro del plazo. Me dijeron que no. Que las grabaciones "podrían ser inventadas con IA". Literal. Me vendieron algo, lo grabé todo, y ahora dicen que soy un mentiroso con IA. Esto no es un caso suelto. Es la misma técnica siempre: te prometen lo que querés escuchar, te hacen firmar rápido, y cuando reclamás te bloquean con excusas. No me quedé quieto. Estoy llevando esto por lo legal, por consumo, y por visibilidad. Estoy juntando a todos los afectados que se suman. Si estás por contratar, antes metete en https://experienciasacademias.es. Ahí estoy subiendo casos reales, pruebas, y todo lo que no te cuentan antes de pagar. Si ya te pasó lo mismo, o querés saber cómo reclamar, escribime por LinkedIn o redes sociales. Estoy armando un grupo de afectados para acciones legales juntos y compartiendo qué pasos sirven para recuperar la plata. Consejos que me hubiera gustado que me den antes: Si te prometen algo, que te lo firmen ANTES de pagar. Si te dicen "eso es solo formalidad" o "te mando el mail después de la reunión", andate. Después niegan todo. No aceptes "reuniones" para hablar de tu reclamo. Que sea todo por mail o algo que deje rastro. Su portal interno es una trampa para cansarte. Lo que no está escrito en el contrato, no existe. Punto. No caigas como caí yo. Sumate a los que estamos peleando.

Dicha persona me ofreció un curso con información incompleta y falsa, no me informó correctamente del precio total, ni de que el pago se haría a través de una financiera (Aplazame) haciéndome tomar un crédito sin consentimiento ya que no fui informado de ello. Además, me indicaron que había una supuesta "beca del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona", que posteriormente confirmé que no existía (lo cual entiendo constituye además un posible delito). No me permitieron leer el contrato antes de firmarlo con múltiples excusas falsas. De lo dicho cuento con las pruebas necesarias (40 minutos de video). Después de reclamar, dilataron la cuestión de forma muy deshonesta asegurando que el contrato estaba cancelado, lo cual no era verdad. Hasta que tuve que recurri al envío de un burofax con asesoramiento legal. (Tengo los correos que lo demuestran en conjunto con la información aportada por la financiera Aplazame) Al investigar, he visto muchos testimonios en redes sociales y foros sobre situaciones similares con esta academia. Por ello, voy a tomar las medidas legales correspondientes. Si has tenido una experiencia similar y también quieres sumarte a las acciones legales que se inciarán o ayuda para que devuelvan tu dinero, puedes contactar a whatsupestafas@gmail.com

I cannot say enough good things about this school. If you are an expat looking for a school to…read morelearn Spanish, this is it. Previously, I went to two other Spanish schools which were more expensive and did not provide half of the education I received at M&M Languages. There are a few reasons why: -Matt, the owner is extremely kind, personable, warm, and accommodating. -My professor, Maripaz was absolutely amazing. She is engaging, knowledgable, and she cares! Usually after the first week of classes, I start to dread going to the next class, but I enjoyed these classes so thorougly that I found myself excited to go everyday and I didn't want to miss anything in class. On days that I couldn't make it to class because of work, Maripaz took the time to email me the lesson and the homework. Maripaz also teaches us things that are so useful. Common phrases and how to use them. Not just stuff from the textbook. I feel more like a human being when speaking to people, instead of like a robot. -The class sizes! One of my pet peeves when taking a language class is when the classes are so big, you don't get a chance to practice speaking the language. At M&M, the classes have a maximum of 6 students. I felt that I was given sufficient time to practice speaking and answering questions. I could ask when I didn't understand something and I didn't feel like I was holding the rest of the class back. You get to know your classmates more personally and there is a nice bond and confidence that comes from that. -The school. The school is located 3 minutes walking distance from Monumental station. It is easy to get to. They have cookies, tea, and coffee for their students too! They also have a library where you can borrow books in Spanish or English. They are good books too!!! I finally feel like I understand how to use the grammar I had previously learned. It is a good feeling to be able to put it into practical use. I whole-heartedly recommend this school.
M&M languages was a fantastic experience for my girlfriend and I…read more We studied Spanish at the school for about 9 months. The owner Matthew is one of the most helpful people you could meet, and a great host to this school. My Spanish teacher Maripaz, kept class, fun and interesting, something I never experienced whilst studying languages at school. One of the best things about the classes is that they were for a maximum of 6 people which allowed you to have your questions answered and to allow you to participate regularly within the class. The location for me was perfect, being a 3 minute walk from monumental metro station (L2 Purple Line). They also teach English, German, and French. Get in touch with Matthew today to make an enquiry.

The Dime team are warm, hard working, enthusiastic and ultimately make your classes fun! I love the way they teach.

I knew I wanted to be in Barcelona for at least a year so I spent a lot of time researching different schools and so happy with the decision I made. The staff was so helpful in answering all my questions before I made the big move overseas and when I got there, I continued to feel supported. Everyone is kind and the trainee groups are small so you really feel like you get to know people on a personal level and make great friendships! There are also resources provided before the start of the course so you can brush up on your grammar. During the course, you get to teach real students and receive really helpful feedback. Although you might feel nervous at first, the environment that TEFL Iberia creates will surely kick those nerves to the curb and help you feel confident in your teaching as the course progresses. The teachers are engaging and knowledgeable so the value that you get from the course is fantastic. It was a fun and challenging (in a great way) 4 weeks! My friends and I all found jobs within a few weeks of graduating. Thanks to the school, I was able to start off on the right foot in Barcelona and am currently still enjoying this amazing city! :)
