Taking Spanish lessons is a great way to supplement your time in Spain…read more I am currently taking private lessons at Delengua.

They are flexible with their curriculum and has adjusted to my speed of learning quite well. The school also has a plethora of cultural activities and excursions going on everyday so you can meet other students, young and old, from all over the world.

Review of CENTRO DE LENGUAS MODERNAS (CLM), Universidad de Granada…read more I completed my studies in December 2025 (Group: 0506). I hesitated for a long time before writing this review, but decided to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. The first class was taught by Iranzo Soledad, an experienced and charismatic teacher. There were around 20 students, and the initial impression was positive. However, already in the second class we were moved to another classroom and introduced to a new teacher -- Sarah Hansen. Sarah Hansen immediately stated that she chose to work at CLM because the pay was higher. She also admitted she had no experience teaching Spanish and had previously taught French for several years. Spanish is not her native language: she grew up in the United States and moved to Spain after getting married. This explained her strong (terrible) accent. She swallowed word endings and made stress mistakes, which are crucial in Spanish. From the first lessons, she asked personal questions about students' family status. After I mentioned that I have one child and, due to the war in Ukraine, I was unable to have more although I had planned to, she repeatedly returned to this topic (at least four times during the course) and emphasized that she has three children, demonstratively asking me again how many children I have, as if she had forgotten. Similar abusive behavior was directed at others. She raised her voice at a female student from Italy and demanded that she "not speak with an Italian accent," shouting and forcefully banging her hand on the table. During classes, she made highly negative personal remarks about her ex-husband and generalized negative comments about "machismo" and Spanish men. On one occasion, the class ended 30 minutes early because it was her child's birthday, despite the fact that the lessons were fully paid for. In another lesson, at Sarah's initiative, students discussed negative aspects of Spain. It became clear that she is a convinced socialist. She argued with students, stating that their views were "wrong," claimed that the tax and social system is correct, that people illegally occupying others' housing are 100% right, that citizens should not be allowed to buy a second apartment even if they can afford it, and that the state should deprive them of "excess" money because "everyone must be equal." Her statements were close to communist rhetoric. Debate can be useful language practice, but around 40 minutes were spent pressuring and belittling students with different opinions. Many left the class feeling discouraged. The exam can hardly be called a proper assessment: materials were provided one lesson before the test, and the oral part lasted about two minutes per student, essentially becoming a short casual conversation. Everyone received high grades, making it impossible to objectively evaluate learning outcomes. Based on my experience, the quality of teaching and organization at CLM raise serious concerns. I recommend thinking carefully before enrolling or sending your children there.

I wound up spending a semester here through the Central College (Pella, IA) study abroad program…read more Granada was the only choice for those wanting to go to Spain, but I'm glad it was. As an American, there's some temptation to want to go to Madrid to maintain a hold on the nears McDonald's or Starbucks. But Granada offers much more culture. When Central advertises "intensive language immersion," they mean it. I was fortunate enough to place in the advanced program and as a result, got a lot out of the experience. I wrapped up 20 credits in one semester after completing the following courses: Advanced Conversation and Composition Granada Seminar Phonetics Orientation to Spain History of Modern Spain Politics and Government of Spain The European Union Advanced Islamic Culture in Spain The first four were mandatory; the second four electives I chose. Each and every one of these classes were taught by native Spanish-speaking professors, none of whom had much proficiency in English. This forced me to have to listen, read, write, speak and think in Spanish every day. I was so impressed with the professors here, the content and quality of their instruction and the demands they placed on their students. Did it cost a fortune? Yes. Was it worth every penny? There's not a doubt in my mind. In addition to the school offering Spanish to foreigners, it also offers foreign languages to Spaniards, including English, so you can pick and choose who your friends are if you want to totally immerse yourself and only speak Spanish while you're there. Side note: The cafeteria makes a bangin' cafe con leche and pan con chocolate.
