"Very enjoyable and immersive Spanish language experience in Valencia"

Catherine Moore, student from Scotland

The teacher and facilities were wonderful. The class was friendly and supportive. However, I did not receive any joining instructions and there were no Aula Level 1 books available when I asked. I asked twice a day at reception but they never came into stock again. This meant I had to share a book and take photos of exercises for use in the evening which was not ideal and left me feeling somewhat disadvantaged throughout the week. On the Thursday before the end of my week a very helpful person at reception suggested I could purchase one from the Book Shop and gave me details to do so. I went that day. It would have been so much more helpful at the start of the week. My online test could not be located although the class I was allocated was a good level for me and finally my original evaluation was not received although submitted. Perhaps Administration requires some attention? Again, I would emphasize the Teacher, class content and facilities were wonderful.

First of all, we sincerely apologise for the problems you had in getting a copy of the book and any inconvenience this may have caused.

The books we had ordered were supposed to arrive at the beginning of the week, but the order took longer than expected to be delivered, resulting in a lack of stock to meet our students' needs.

In addition, the member of our staff who helped you at the front desk was new to the team and did not give you the most accurate information at that moment.

We are truly sorry for not having been able to give you the help you needed but we really appreciate that you took the time to make us aware of your problem, as this will help us keep improving our service and avoid similar situations in the future.

Thank you for your help.

"A very good language school, not just for young people!"

Anna-Maria Fuchs

During my course I felt very well accepted, even though I am 60+. The initial interview already took away my initial shyness about the language course. The respective teachers supported and challenged us. There was also a very pleasant atmosphere within the group. You could always ask questions if you didn't understand something immediately. The classrooms are very well equipped. Many different activities are offered so that contact with other students could be established.

"Perfect learning experience !!"

Jennifer Grahlow

I am studying in Germany and am currently attending a Spanish language course at the AIP school.
The classes are very personal with few students. Thanks to the intensive supervision and professional teachers, the sense of achievement sets in very quickly.
The school is located near the center. So after school you can easily visit the city and enjoy the sun. The beach is also not far away.
The language school offers different activities every week. If you want to spend a nice time in sunny Valencia and learn Spanish at the same time, this is the right place for you.

"In one sentence? In one word: unforgettable!"

Andrea Wolf

I was very happy with everything in AIP. The teachers are very friendly and qualified. The location is perfect, especially in the summer because with the tram you are 10 minutes to the beach.
The activities the school offers are interesting, and, especially at the beginning, it is very good to know new people and to know the city better.

An accommodation with a local family provides a unique experience for direct contact with Spanish culture and customs. This accommodation option also maximises the students' time in contact with the Spanish language and creates many opportunities to put into practice what they have learned. You can stay from a family of four children to a single elderly lady.

The families we work with have our complete trust. We have been working with them for many years, so we are sure that you will feel very comfortable and welcome. Part of the Spanish culture is hospitality and the families are very nice and open. You can be sure that you will not speak a word of English because the host families will not allow it!

It is a half-board accommodation and it is not possible to cook for yourself.

If you are planning on a long-term stay in Valencia, a very good option is dividing your time between both options, for example, half your stay with a home stay and subsequently moving to an apartment when you have acquired a higher level of Spanish. Besides, if you wish to continue with the type of accommodation you have previously chosen, there would not be a problem.

Our experience shows that you will get along very well with your flatmates and will certainly make new friends for life, especially if you are in Valencia for a longer period of time. However, you should be aware that the main language is usually English, as the Spanish level of your flatmates can vary greatly.

You will have a single room and share common areas with other students at the school, such as the kitchen, living room and bathroom. It's similar to living with a host family, but here you share the responsibility of keeping the flat clean and taking care of your own food. You can buy things like washing-up liquid, detergent, toilet paper etc. together with your flatmates.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

Your letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged 180 € when you register.

Flights and airport transfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Valencia based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings.
