Hi, I'm Thomas from Indonesia. I am happy to be a student at Jaleo. It was a nice experience and... adventure to learn Spanish. The teachers are experts and their methodology to make the class active and alive. I enjoyed the friendship during school activities that made us familiar with Spanish cultures, vocabulary and expression. Let us come and roll at Jaleo-Madrid School. See you on summer next year!read more

Thank you so much to the whole team of Jaleo! I originally paid for two weeks and enjoyed learning... Spanish and my time at Jaleo so much that I extended for two more, sadly I couldn't stay for longer. The communication prior the course was exceptional, great location, very close to a metro station, the teachers were great and everyone else at the school was extremely welcoming, kind, caring and supportive. The school organise cultural activities as well as a discussion club after the regular lessons and I highly recommend participating to improve your Spanish level as this way you meet students from other levels too. I feel much more confident in speaking Spanish and was able to improve my level. Muchas Gracias! 🙂read more

I don't even know where to begin.It's been 6 months of daily growth and interactive fun with the... language professors and international classmates (now friends).1. The welcoming reception was warm.2. This was my first-time language classroom experience, and it was a great one - I had been studying solo for one year prior... the interactive classes in small groups (of your level without intimidation) were worth every cent.3. They supported me with my student visa processes and moving into Madrid - however they could as a school.4. Everyone has been kind to me from day 1 to day 180 - genuinely nice people.5. Most important of all, my spanish has improved immensely in comparison to my enrollment interview - Amazing what 20 morning hours a week can do for one in 6 months.I can fluently speak Spanish now, not perfectly, but it is definitely better (faster, easier, and more grammatically correct), and I can now watch Spanish movies and series without subtitles (fast speech listening exercises help).I still need practice, but I am much better than how i was.For my fellow Tanzanians who are considering this experience, "Usiwaze sana, chuo kinaendeshwa vizuri. Wadau ni wakarimu sana na wanafundisha kwa uvumilivu. Kama unaweza, chukua hatua."Photo caption: Two professors from the left, four students to the right (including me, the African).read more

I did a 24-week course at Jaleo. The atmosphere at Jaleo and the teachers are very friendly, and... they always respond appropriately to each student's questions. Additionally, they offer free and interesting activities every week outside of classes, which gave me the opportunity to learn Spanish outside of the classroom as well. Furthermore, after finishing the course, they explained to me in detail about the visa extension, providing excellent subsequent service. The learning experience at Jaleo has been very valuable for me.Thank you very much everyone.read more

A Fantastic Place to Learn Spanish and Build Connections!I attended Jaleo Language School for six... months, and I can’t recommend it enough! When I first started, I knew about two words of Spanish, but now I feel confident navigating the city on my own and even making friends with people who only speak Spanish. The staff at Jaleo made me feel welcome from day one, and the environment quickly became like one big family.What really sets Jaleo apart is how they create a community. They host a lot of events to bring students together, no matter their level, which makes learning feel both fun and social. My teacher, Cristina, was incredible—she was patient, fun, and flexible with her teaching style, adapting to the different learning speeds in the class. It felt like everyone’s progress mattered.One of the best parts of the experience was meeting people from all over the world. I not only learned Spanish, but I made amazing friends along the way. If you’re looking to learn Spanish and settle into life in Madrid, Jaleo is the perfect place to start. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it to anyone!read more

I highly recommend Jaleo Madrid! I started with A1 and ended with B1.2/B2 and I loved all my... teachers. The classes are small, which gives you a lot of time to practice speaking in Spanish, ask questions, and focus on topics you need extra work on. Everyone in the school is very responsive and easy to talk to. They were able to work with my schedule too! Every Thursday, they also have free cultural activities around Madrid (as well as other activities) where you can socialise with students of different Spanish levels. I've recommended this school to all my friends and would love to return for more lessons in the future.read more

I would highly recommend Jaleo language school . I recently spent one week learning Spanish in... Madrid. It is very conveniently situated in the city centre and very close to a metro station. The class was very appropriate to my needs. The teacher Luis was highly motivated to helping individuals students. He also made the class fun and engaging. I loved my time there and would definitely return in the future to complete another course. Thank you Jaleo and well done on having a wonderful language school in the heart of the cityread more
