Taking Spanish lessons is a great way to supplement your time in Spain…read more I am currently taking private lessons at Delengua. The teachers are nice, patient and competent at taking a level 0 student such as myself to a level where I can confidently represent myself in Spanish. 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. Really happy with the way Delengua runs their program and would be happy to recommend them to anyone thinking about learning Spanish in Spain! Prepare to lisp :)

Spending one week studying flamenco guitar and flamenco technique at this school was an incredible…read moreexperience! It feels a little like a hostel for flamenco in the sense that you will mostly be with other foreigners, not too many locals. I think a big part of the reason for this is that they have the most established website and extensive programming of the flamenco schools in Granada, so if you are having to plan your trip from outside of Spain, this is definitely the easiest and most secure way to do it. I really appreciated how quickly the office workers get back to you and answer any and all questions you have! I recommend that you err on the side of downplaying your abilities - you can always move up after the first class if it is too easy of a level for you. It sounds like a lot of people try to move up too quickly and then struggle or can't keep up or fumble through setting a good foundation. If you have been dancing less than a year, you would definitely be in beginner technique/choreography. I have to say I have played guitar for years, but I REALLY struggled in the beginner guitar class - so you need to already be familiar with a lot of classical techniques to do this well (e.g., arpeggios, scales, technique exercises aimed at speed in both left and right hands, hammer-ons and pull-offs, rasgueados, etc.). The service is unbelievable - everyone and every teacher I met is so accommodating, friendly and helpful. The teachers I had really cared about your learning. I met students from Russia, Japan, Italy, France, Sweden, and the UK, so it is a very international and multicultural environment. They have beautiful terraces for your breaks between classes and wifi throughout. I had no problem finding empty studios to practice guitar and dancing as well. You can find cheaper local classes, but you would usually be joining into the work of a class that might have started a few weeks/months ago, I don't think there are any other schools where classes are organized in week-long segments so that you can complete a whole cycle in just a week or multiple cycles in several weeks. This is definitely most convenient if traveling to Granada for limited time, and you'll meet lots of great people in the process! Plus, dancing in caves of Sacramonte is pretty cool...

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.

Pros: I had Antonio as my instructor and I thought that he did a great job. He was very enthusiastic and made learning the language a lot of fun. Class emphasized developing conversational skills. Less focused on learning grammatical rules. Cons: 1) I had a number of payment issues with the front office. I was accidentally overcharged and also received an additional charge that I didn't understand. It wasn't easy to resolve these issue with the front office because they insisted on discussing all financial matters in Spanish. The director in particular was very uncompromising and not easy to work with. Eventually, we got everything straightened out, but it kind of killed my experience. 2) My class didn't cover all of the material that I was told we would when I originally signed up. 3) Most of the weekend trips and extra classes were canceled. Summary: Good experience with the instructors, but difficult experience dealing with the front office. Don't think that I would sign up with INMSOL again.
