I started as an absolute beginner. One month is not sufficient to become even competent in the Spanish language. However, with the help of your instructors and the course material I feel that my abilities in the Spanish language have been jump started and that I know what I need to progress. In general the experience was fun and very helpful. |

The =elemadrid= school experience has been excellent! The teachers are very enthusiastic, professional, intelligent and fun to interact with. The classes are well planned and they make the student want "more". Living with a family from Madrid has been extremely rewarding - I have shared normal life experiences and challanges while living with my family. The program deserves *****! |

The classes were excellent as well as the professors. Last June I learned a lot of Spanish. This year was even better! I´m fortunate that I had the opportunity to study French (in Paris) as well as Spanish here at =elemadrid=. I would recommend =elemadrid= to anyone. In fact, I did. My girlfriend joined me this year for classes at =elemadrid=. I think it is the best language school in many ways. The professors are helpful and active in the learning process. Lo mejor! |

I came to =elemadrid= to improve my Spanish and the time I spent was invaluable. Language cannot be learned by a book, etc; you only truly learn it via immersion and interaction. I will leave Madrid with more confidence in my abilities than I had on arriving.
I loved the enthusiasm and energy that the teachers brought to the classroom; that made all the difference! I hope to return again. |

Last, the staff here is uniformly friendly, informed and upbeat. Everyone was all a pleasure to work with. |

The school was everything that I expected and more. From the first morning I was made to feel very welcome and as if the teachers sincerely wanted me to improve my Spanish and knowledge of Spain. The grammar and conversation classes were well organized so as to meet all students individual needs. The private lessons were a huge success and I am now able to speak Spanish confidently and to use it for my work. The best part of my course by far was Rainbow Immersion. I participated in everything and possibly learned more from the Rainbow activities than from my morning lessons. Well done elemadrid!!! |

The instructors at elemadrid are absolutely fantastic. Simply the best you'll find anywhere. They are smart, witty, fun and they know their grammar. The afternoon activities are entertaining, and they often take place off the beaten path. What other school will lead you down the winding streets of old Madrid to a little known monastery to buy sweets from a cloistered nun? Elemadrid makes a sincere effort to stand apart from other language schools. They do a fine job. |

I think that =elemadrid= is an excellent school to go to if you are looking for small and personalized classes, the opportunity to learn as much Spanish as possible in a short amount of time, and students who are older and serious about learning. |

The other students were highly motivated, intelligent, pleasant and interesting adults from many countries. The teachers were animated, delightful, friendly, helpful and professional. |

=elemadrid=is an excellent program for adults who are serious about improving their Spanish language skills. The classes alone were very good. However, the opportunities to learn through Rainbow Immersion and through living with a native Spaniard made this program exceptional. I would highly recommend =elemadrid= to anyone. |

Wow! What a great experience I had at =elemadrid=! I truly believe that I could not have selected a better school, with a more professional cadre of teachers than this one. I came to Madrid for 12 weeks with the express purpose of learning as much Spanish as I possibly could, knowing almost nothing about the language or culture when I arrived. The program of this school has enabled me to make significant progress towards my ultimate goal: fluency in the Spanish language. |

For adult learner it is very difficult to match a program so well organized and executed.
One can find good teachers, and good books in many places, but to have these combined with a very interesting set of cultural activities every day, and done in a most professional atmosphere is hard to come by.
*If =elemadrid= was a hotel, it would have a 5 star rating. |

I began =elemadrid= knowing almost no Spanish. I participated in their classes and programs for three weeks. After just three weeks, while hardly fluent in Spanish, I was able to understand most simple conversations and make myself understood in markets, at the hotel, and among friends. I can strongly recommend the =elemadrid= courses. |

I learned more about the language, country, culture, food, and people than I had imagined.

Every person I came in contact with at =elemadrid= made a huge impact on my learning and my life. Thank you! |

I have attended =elemadrid= on two occasions, both of which were rewarding experiences. =elemadrid= gave me a solid foundation of the basics of Spanish and I was able to get around the city problem free within a month. Later I returned knowing the majority of the grammar, but not being able to apply it. 4 weeks later I was reading newspapers and writing short essays. If you are interested in learning Spanish and all about the culture of Spain, =elemadrid= is my recomendation. |

Although I was only able to study at =elemadrid= for one week, I achieved more in those few days than I could have imagined. The combination of well organised classes with students at equal level of competency in the language, after class activities that enabled the students to continue the immersion in the language while at the same time learning much about the country's history, culture and geography, and having a very motivated group of adult students who were very serious about their studies made this an extraordinary experience. I know a number of very good Spanish immersion programs, but =elemadrid= has a special focus for the serious adult students who want to maximize the limited time they typically have available to participate in the program. It's a terrific experience for college students and recent graduates, but what sets =elemadrid= apart from many other schools is that adults of all ages can find not only excellent classes, but also very stimulating, exciting activities to augment their study of the Spanish language. |

I was nervous about choosing a language school, whether or not it would be rigorous enough, if I would like the other students and teachers, if the activities would be "hokey" and touristy. I found with elemadrid that my fears were vanquished. The courses were demanding and taught by dedicated, charismatic teachers, the other students interesting, and full of life experiences. The extracurricular activities were an opportunity to practice Spanish and to learn about the city. I also had plenty of time on my own to discover the city. Useful blend of support and freedom. |

The school is very well administrated with able, well-prepared instructors, serious students, excellent classes and good facilities. I was happy with my private accommodations and was well positioned to take advantage of all Madrid and central Spain has to offer. This was a very satisfactory learning experience and my Spanish improved significantly. |

=elemadrid= is very professional in its approach to delivering high quality education services. There are many areas of excellence (best practices) at =elemadrid=. For me one of the greatest values was being in class with interesting people from countries other than my own. I was the only American in my class and therefore all of us were committed to making Spanish our common language. The classes were small and multinational. In my class there was a German, an Italian, a Korean, a Philippino, a Frenchman and me! What a rich experience to see that learning a foreign language was difficult for everyone regardless of their mother tongue. We helped each other and learned not only about Spain but other parts of the world as well. I highly recommend =elemadrid= for intensive Spanish study. |

Elemadrid is a highly effective training program. The teachers are well motivated and have a sense of humor. The student body represents a range of ages, nationalities and language skills. The added attraction of the Rainbow Immersion program is especially important, because it takes the language instruction out of the classroom and into the community and the culture. I learned about such diverse topics as flamenco, tango, Spanish cinema and the Spanish economy. The accommodation Alegre was convenient and comfortable. My Spanish skills began to improve from almost the very first day. I hope to return soon for another stint at =elemadrid=. |
