ESP23 A1 Intenso!

The Girona school location was very convenient to both the Girona train station and Old Town. The teacher(s) and staff were wonderful and customized the curriculum to my interests. In addition to improving my Spanish, I also learned a lot about the culture in Girona. Overall, it was a great experience.

I liked the classes very much! I was the only student. So I get a lot of attention.
The teacher, Maria, was very inspirational. She teached me the first important things in Spanish, but also told me a lot about Spain, its literature and culture.
The facilities were good. The only thing I missed was a cup of tea or coffee in between lessons ;-)
Thank you very much, Maria!

I really enjoyed the teacher and the classes. The school was able to adapt the schedule to my times and the teachers showed a lot of flexibility!

The fact that it was more or less a private lesson was good. However it is much preferred to have another in the class to be able to practice after class.
The location was good, facility was good, teacher was knowledgeable.

Something to possibly consider for in future is a short sort of test to ascertain the level of knowledge of Spanish that is present.
and secondly to hear why someone wants to learn Spanish. How they plan to use it in the future.
Certainly for persons like myself for a short course this would be helpful for both parties.

Finally a maximum of 2 hours of classroom lessons. Following that the concentration is reduced and ability to absorb more words, rules etc diminishes.

I did not partake in any social activities.

Great experience. I really recommend this school to study Spanish

The academic center was easy to find, the class was well prepared and at my level. The teacher was nice and it was easy to talk with her. Girona is a very rich city, lot of things to do !

At the beginning (monday, thuesday) , the teachers were informed, that my level is A2 instead of A1. That didin't contribute to a good instruction.

I had the impression, that the subjects of the teaching were relatively unstructuratet and the teachers not well preparated. All of that changed, when I mentioned it on thuesday.

I learned a lot, what should be normal for a class of 1 student.
Especialy for individual classes (1 student, 1 teacher), the programm should be inspirated by the students wishes: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, grammar, speaking, especialy what kind of subjects?

Over all, it was a wonderful experience, that could be even more helpfull, when it would have been organized with stricter rules: entering test, wishes of the students, good structure in the lessens, ....

I would like to thank especialy Angeles, woh helped me a lot!

The contact with Simone Reich was very good, thank You too!

Best regards

Many thanks to this centre and to my teachers! I started to speak and understand from 0 level faster then I can imagine. Everyone was very friendly. The school was in a good location. There was also a big parking very close. I will come back next time to improve my Spanish!

Hello, I am Martine Pluvinage and I come from France. I took Catalan courses at the Academic Center Access - Girona. I'm very happy. Everything was good, from the teacher to the director. If I could, I will come again. Thanks to the both of you!

I came across ACCÉS because of it's proximity to my domicile. I am studying a Catalan basic language course focused on business Catalan. My teacher is highly professional and very proficient in the Catalan language and grammar.

In einem Anfängerkurs lerne ich Katalanisch und erhalte einen sehr professionellen Unterricht von ACCÉS. Mein Lehrer hat sehr gute Grammatik Kenntnisse und gestaltet den Unterricht interessant und abwechslungsreich. Ich kann die Schule weiterempfehlen.

I'm from Honduras and I came to Accés 2 months before my selectivity exams for the university, which was a very short period of time to study for exams of such magnitude. The experience was good overall, the teachers and the principal showed interest in my studies and they were all very friendly. It surprised me how much they wanted me to reach the grade I needed.
The facilities were a bit old, but the experience was satisfying. I passed the selectivity exams with an average score of 7.46 out of 10, which is pretty good, and I'm sure that if I had enrolled into Accés 1 or 2 months before my grade would've been higher.
