AIL Madrid reviews

Upon looking for a language school to learn Spanish, there were many options and too many choices. However, after attending Ail Madrid for a 4-week intensive course; I knew I had definitely made the right decision. When I first arrived in Madrid, I felt as though I would never make friends but on my first day of classes, I met some of the most interesting people and some of my best friends. Every day I looked forward to seeing my friends at the school and the teachers as well. All of the teachers were excellent and I learned more Spanish in 4 weeks than I have in 8 years of taking other Spanish classes. No matter what question I had, they were always willing to answer it in complete detail, which helped improve my Spanish tremendously! Ail Madrid also has an excellent location, as my commute was only 15 minutes by metro! There are great restaurants and shopping near the school, which I loved especially. Great location, beautiful school, awesome teachers, and an all-around fantastic experience! Definitely Ail Madrid is MUST if you want to learn Spanish!

Can't speak highly enough of AIL!!
Only spent 4 weeks there and wish I'd spent more, will definitely be going back.
Jesus was my teacher and he was brilliant, I started out as a low intermediate in Spanish and am now speaking confidently with Spanish people.
If you want to improve your Spanish and explore an amazing city, definitely go to AIL!!!

En AIL Madrid pasé una semana y fue estupendo. Quería mejorar sobre todo mi expresión oral y comprensión auditiva y creo que, a pesar de poco tiempo, realmente hice un progreso. Durante las clases todos los estudiantes tenían la oportunidad de hablar y la aprovechaban. Mi maestra Susanna era maravillosa, una gran profesional con mucha experiencia de enseňar, siempre de buen humor y sonrisa en la cara. Asistí también a las clases de actividades culturales por las tardes y fue estupendo también. Me encantó la clase de interpretación de canciones espaňolas donde me enteré de muchas cosas nuevas de la historia de Espaňa. Otro día disfruté mucho de la excursión guiada a la ciudad de Alcalá, fue muy divertido. Durante el curso conocí a muchas personas nuevas, estudiantes de todos los edades y de varios países del mundo. En total, me enriqueció mucho, gracias a toda la escuela!

I cannot believe a month has already passed since I came to Madrid. I thoroughly enjoyed the one week that I spent at AIL Madrid. My teacher, Ana, was excellent and overall I received a very favourable impression of AIL. It is difficult just parachuting in for one week but and my school teachers over here say that it has given me a lot more confidence with my Spanish (in fact my teacher has been considering sending her own daughter to do something similar with you next Feb.)

I would also like to thank you for finding us such wonderful accommodation. Lourdes was an absolute star and so kind, making me vegetarian food every evening. She is an extremely nice woman - and her son was lovely too.The position of her flat was great. Our accommodation really couldn't have been better.

During the summer I have had 3 weeks of semi intensive course at AIL. Before arriving to Madrid I have had contact with Hugo from the AIL team and I can not be more satisfied with the way I was helped by email/phone. He took all the time to answer all my questions and explained everything that I needed to know. Upon arrival I met the AIL team and my class. My class consisted of 8 students and we had an amazing time during and after the classes. In general the program is intensive, although it depends on the teachers and their teaching methods. This is great because you can choose what type of method suits you best. In my experience the AIL team is quite flexible and willing to help!

In addition there are interesting and fun after class activities that will make your stay in Madrid even more fun!

I studied 6 weeks in AIL Madrid, and I improved my Spanish a lot. Thanks to my great teacher, which I think was the best teacher I have ever had in my life. I learned Spanish really good, and I understand and speak Spanish now in such a short time quite good. The classes were really good, absolutely!!! Beside that the school organizes many other things and they help the students in all kind of issues. When I came to Spain I did not expect that there a school can be so professional. The staff is very friendly, and for every question they will help you. So go to AIL Madrid!!! You will see that you did the right choice!!!

I had the time of my life and my Spanish just bounced forward!

I had a great time at AIL. The courses were good. The teacher, Asun was really nice! I made some new friends and got to tour around Madrid and discover new places.
It was a really good experience that I hope to start again soon.

I attended AIL Madrid last summer and it was awesome! I took the Spanish and Dance course which was Spanish lessons in the morning and dance lessons in the evening. I could choose between a variety of dance classes and although I tried each one once, I mostly just did Salsa. It was so much fun and the dance lessons helped me to meet new people and practice my Spanish. Madrid is a really cool city, I enjoyed it so much that I am thinking of taking another course at AIL this summer!
