¡¡Gracias, Mai!! Thom WeleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hola, soy Thomas de Indonesia. Estoy feliz de ser estudiante en Jaleo. Fue una linda experiencia y aventura aprender espanol. Los profesores son expertos y su metodologia para hacer que la clase sea activa y viva. Disfrute de la amistad durante las actividades escolares que nos hicieron familiarizarnos con las culturas, el vocabulario y la expresion espanola. Let us come and enroll at Jaleo-Madrid School. See you on summer next year!

¡¡Muchas gracias, Thom!! Tus palabras son muy bonitas :-) Aukse JonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! :) Nekilangwa MbagaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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).

¡Guau, Neki! Muchísimas gracias por tu reseña. Nos hemos quedado sin palabras. Realmente echamos mucho de menos tu sonrisa al entrar en la escuela por la mañana. Has hecho un gran trabajo con tu español. ¡Mucha suerte! Takae SuzukiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hice un curso de 24 semanas en Jaleo. El ambiente en Jaleo y los profesores son muy amables, y siempre responden adecuadamente a las dudas de cada estudiante. Además, ofrecen actividades gratuitas e interesantes cada semana fuera de las clases, lo que me dio la oportunidad de aprender español también fuera del aula. Además, después de terminar el curso, me explicaron detalladamente sobre la extensión de la visa, brindando un excelente servicio posterior. La experiencia de aprendizaje en Jaleo ha sido muy valiosa para mí. Muchas gracias todos.

Dear Miron, We regret that you had a negative experience with the official exam, but our center operates according to the protocols that were clearly communicated to you prior to the exam and are also specified to the candidate by the official organizing institution. Non-compliance with these protocols by the student is not our responsibility. We wish you luck in retaking the test. Morgan ShapiroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!
