7 Years of Jaleo Madrid: Celebrating Our #Spanish4Life Journey

Primera clase de español de Jaleo Madrid

At Jaleo Madrid, we are officially blowing out seven candles! It feels like only yesterday when we held our very first class—a DELE exam preparation session back in 2019. Since then, our memory bank has overflowed: from the excitement of those first steps to the “bittersweet” days of the pandemic, where we offered free online Spanish classes to keep our global community connected during lockdown.

Time has flown, and while the world has changed, Jaleo has grown into a premier destination for those looking to learn Spanish in Madrid.

Excellence and Innovation in Teaching

We’ve evolved from a small project into a high-standard institution. Jaleo Madrid is proudly accredited by the Instituto Cervantes, the gold standard for Spanish language education.

This prestigious accreditation allows us to offer:

  • Spanish Courses for Student Visas: Helping international students fulfill their dreams of living and studying in Spain with official certification.

  • Official Exam Preparation: Expert coaching for DELE and SIELE exams.

But we haven’t stopped there. To stay at the forefront of language learning, we have also embraced the latest technology, including the launch of our own student app. This tool allows our “aventureros” to manage their learning and stay connected with the school anytime, anywhere.

The Heart of the Experience: Family, Fun, and Fluency

You can now find us through our online shop or read about us in the glowing reviews left by our “aventureros.” But despite the digital growth, our soul remains the same. When students describe Jaleo, they consistently use four words: Family, Friends, Professional, and Fun.

Our mission is simple: we want you to lose the fear of speaking Spanish. Every lesson is designed with a real-world purpose, bringing you closer to your goal of mastering #Spanish4Life.

Start Your Journey: Free Trial Spanish Class in Madrid

If you haven’t experienced the “Jaleo vibe” yet, we invite you to join us. We offer a free trial group class for all newcomers. It’s our way of welcoming you to the city and showing you what it’s like to live the language, not just study it.

The rubric not only gives more control and transparency but also helps teachers better tailor the classes to each student’s pace. 2. Online store 🛍️To make shopping more convenient, fast, and simple, we have launched our online store.

¿Qué es el lenguaje inclusivo o no sexista?

Esta semana ha sido el Día de la Mujer y uno de los temas que vuelve siempre a la mesa es el lenguaje inclusivo o no sexista. El año pasado ya hablamos en este blog de algunos micromachismos del lenguaje y hoy nos encontramos con un movimiento que tiene cada día más fuerza. En primer lugar tenemos que explicar qué es este tipo de lenguaje y porque es un motivo de debate. En el lenguaje hay algunas palabras que pueden resultar excluyentes para algunos colectivos, por ejemplo si usamos “el hombre” cuando queremos referirnos a “la humanidad”. De este modo, las personas partidarias del lenguaje no sexista intentan buscar sustantivos o adjetivos neutros como sustitutos de algunas palabras. En este sentido, una lengua como el español se ve afectada por
