Not such a great experience

The concept that is being offered by AIP is good. Overall my daughter was safe, learnt some Spanish, made some friends and got to know her way around a new city and these are all positive outcomes.

On a lesser note, the school may pay more attention to the teaching programme. She often felt that she was already familiar with the topics being discussed and the delivery of the classes was also often somewhat dull and hard to engage with.

However, the thing that spoilt my daughter's stay in Valencia was overwhemingly the 'home' experience with her host mother. Unfortunately, the person who was supposedly responsible for welcoming a 16 year old in her home, complained incessantly (that is every meal time) that she was vegetarian, even though this was beforehand stated in the registration papers. She even put meat in one of the dishes and gave it to her. When her friends were offered salad, she had to ask for salad. When she did present vegetarian food, it was in such small amounts that my daughter invariably left hungry. While the other two persons residing with this host family got a fan for the room,she did not. Overall she was openly unfriendly, calling her 'crazy girl' in Spanish and not even engaging with her on a courteous level. As a mother, I was dismayed to hear these stories on her return. You may ask why I did not complain beforehand. Well, apparently, the daughter of the host mother works at the school and although my daughter met and liked this person, it would still have complicated Saskia's stay considerably.

Great experience

I took an intensive Spanish language course for two weeks, in order to prepare myself for my internship. The classes were very professional and personal, with the best teachers in town. I met a lot of people within a short amount of time and the activities arranged by the travel agency give the oppotunity to get to know the city very well.

buena experiencia en Valencia

AIP Language Institute es una buena escuela para aprender la lengua de español, estaba en la escuela para un practicas y todo ha pasado muy bien, los profesores son muy amable y acogedora. Me ha gustado mucho la ciudad porque la escuela propone muchas actividades todos los días que es muy bien para descubrir la ciudad, entonces para una becaria es una buena idea de venir en la escuela porque propone mucho trabajo y es muy bien. Le recomendaría a todos las personas en Valencia.

I really enjoyed my two weeks in the school. I was the only Danish person in my Class, and I loved meeting all the different nationalities.The teaching was very good and the organisation excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and I would definitely like to return sometime if I can.

Opiniones

Ya llevo unos meses como práctica aquí en la escuela. El ambiente laboral es fantástico, los profesores todos super disponibles para ayudar en cualquier ámbito y por cualquier duda. Además, actividades semanales siempre diferentes y chulas, un sitio super limpio, lleno de gente que afronta su trabajo de manera alegra sí pero también muy seria, eso denota la calidad con la que todos trabajan.

Two months at AIP in Valencia

I really enjoyed my time at AIP. The staff is nice and always amazingly helpful. The teachers are very kind as well and always well prepared for classes. They always adapted the classes to the students' demands and answered questions patiently. I learned a lot during my two months in the school!

Great school!

I loved the course! The classes where really fun and interesting and the teachers very nice and helpful. And the groups were small which was a big plus. The school is modern and has a very enjoyable atmosphere. Also, is Valencia a great city to live in. I'll recommend the school to everyone who wants to learn spanish in an efficient and fun way!

Wunderbare Sprachschule

Ich habe mich bei AIP Languages sofort wohlgefühlt! Der Unterricht war meinem Sprachniveau genau gerecht und die geringe Anzahl an Schülern hat es mir ermöglicht viel zu lernen. Hatte ich eine Frage, stand mir immer jemand vom AIP Team zu Seite. Ich würde die Schule auf alle Fälle weiterempfehlen!
