Hi, we’re italian. The experience in Valencia was very good and we learn a lot of things with the teachers, that are very nice. We did a lot of interesting activities: we were at the principal station, the market, at the ‘’casco angtiguo’’, at the beach and at the Oceanografico. We also eat typical food of Valencia like ‘’tapas and paella.’’ The city of Valencia is very beautiful, especially for kids. The people was very nice and lovely. We loved this experience and for this we won’t come back to Italy.

Hi. We live in Italy, near Rome and we come from the linguistic school ‘’Isabella D’este’’.Valencia is a very amazing city, full of history and at the same time interesting for kids. We visited a lot of monuments like ‘’torre del miguelete, la plaza de l’ayuntamiento and las torres de serrano’’ that we particularly liked. Also we tried typical food of the city como ‘’paella and horchata, (but we prefer italian food!)The experience was beautiful, we learned a lot of things, we have improved our level of Spanish and we have a lot of fun!

Our first time in Valencia at the Taronja School was very useful, especially for the conversation. The school was very good and the teachers were very nice and we helped a lot. We want to do a lot of activities in the evening: we liked our free time to go out and do shopping, but activities were a little bit boring, but this week was very funny and we took the opportunity to practice our spanish.

Hi. We spent a good time during our trip in Valencia and also at Taronja School. In Spain people are very nice and lovely, also our teachers of the school. The activities were very interesting and attractive and we talked a lot about the typical things of the country. The family was very nice and our mum cooked everything very well.

Hi. We had an amazing time in this city. The activities were very interesting and also funny. The teachers were useful for improving our language. Going around the city wasn’t the best activity because we were very tired. Kahoot was absolutely the best activity that we did, very funny. The night of the ‘’paella’’ was very funny although there was not the paella with marisco. The best place in Valencia that not exist in our country, is the chupiteria ‘’Espit’’ in the Mastalla. Thanks to Andrés who advised us a lot of places for going out and have fun. Also we liked a lot the district of the Carmen.

We had an amazing week in Valencia! Is a very beautiful city even if the weather is often windy. The family are near the school and they are very nice, kind and cozy.  We learned a lot about the life of Valencia and its manners and also we know how Spanish thinks about Italian people. We don’t think that there are more beautiful places of the City of Arts and Sciences and the Oceanographic. It was very easy speak in Spanish!

Valentina, Tania, Alessia.

The experience in Taronja was very funny. We did a lot of interesting activities for practing our Spanish, talk about a lot of arguments and also review the grammar. The school is in the centre of the city, near a lots of shop and restaurants, even if our classroom was a little bit small. We liked a lot the visit at the company Lladró because we see all the process of the products. We don’t think that this trip was boring and we want to come back in Valencia.

Hi. We are Italians girls and we have eighteen years old.The lessons of the teacher Ándres and Angel were very beautiful and interesting. Valencia is a very beautiful city for us because there are many things to do especially in the night. The people and the family were very sweet and made us feel part of the family. What we liked most of all was The City of Arts and Sciences and the food. Surely we will return here! We saw many interesting things like the ‘’muvim’’. We loved walk the streets and ask questions to people. At any hour of the day in Valencia there are many people around, who eats and talks, especially young boys and girls, and this is very nice.

Hello everyone! Valencia is a wonderful and impressing city! We had 6 awesome days here and we loved the city. We enjoyed our time with our host families, who were very friendly and hospital. When we visited some places, the view of the city was very beautiful. The show of the dolphins was really amazing. We had fun at the beach and in the sea and in the night we celebrated the big party of  San Juan. We want to come back one day. The classes were very funny and interesting and we have learned a lot. We think our Spanish knowledge is better now. Thanks for everything!

Valencia is a beautiful and interesting city. The people are very friendly, chatty, open and always helpful. Our families, where we have lived, were very hospital and have cooked a lot of food which was very tasty. In the school Taronja we have got to better our knowledge from Spanish and also have we enjoyed the after school activities. For example our visits at the museums and at Oceanográfico. Also we have enjoyed the night of San Juan and the Plaza de Taros. When we go back to Austria we will miss the sun, the see, the beach and we’re sure we will com back to Valencia one day.

 

We are Sophia, Daniela, Patrick, Timrich, Martinus, Magdalena and Paula. We’re from Austria and today is our last day of our journey. The program of the school was very varied and funny. We had a lot of classes outside. For example we needed to ask things to people at the streets, we went to the Mercado Central to make really special food, we made a menu and wrote down the prices of the ingredients. Also Taronja organized a typical meal from Spain. We ate paella and tapas and we loved this food very much! Our journey to Valencia was a famous experience for all of the students.

Sophia, Daniela, Patrick, Timrich, Martinus, Magdalena and Paula

For example we visited Oceanográfico which is in The city of arts and sciences. Of course we have tried paella and delicious tapas. How tasty! Also the food from the hosts were very good, and the families were very sympathetic, funny and open. It was a bomb! An unforgettable and advisable journey. A lot of kisses from Valencia.

Hello, our names are Emily, Izzy, Issey and Anne Claire and we are english students.We are 17 and 18 years old and these classes were perfect for us. The morning classes were the perfect mix of learning and fun, with the opportunity to speak with locals and to ask them about the life in Valencia.Our teachers (Manu and Carmina) taught us that «no te comas el coco» and have a great time.We did not only enjoy our morning classes, but also the activities in the evening for example a visit to the beach and to the central market to improve our spanish.All the people in Taronja family are very nice, cool and great, so we would recommend it to all the ages.Taronja is in the center of Valencia, a city with a lot of history and culture, so it is never boring because there is always something to do.Our most important advices are that you have to try Horchata Fresca, eat as much paella as possible and enjoy all the opportunities available.  Thank you so much and see you soon! Kisses.

Emily, Izzy, Issey and Anne Claire

Hello! We enjoyed it so much our trip to Valencia. The classes were very interesting, funny and useful. In addition, the teachers were very funny and enthusiastic. The part that we liked more was the guided tour in the city because the buildings were ancient and different from the one in England. During the cooking class we enjoyed the jokes of Chef Nando and churros were delicious. So cool! On the other side the rice museum was a bit boring, but anyway we would like to come back to Valencia and eat lots of rice! The location of the school is in the city centre and this is very convenient for exploring the touristic things. The families with which we stayed were nice and the houses very pretty. If we come back to Valencia, we will visit Taronja school another time. We would like to say thank you to all the staff, especially to Carmina and Manu. Great!

We like so much Valencia city. We like everything: Taronja school, the beach, the people and the environment. The activities like the women’s night and the winery were very funny. ¡Also the paella in Valencia is the best in the best in world!

Rebecca, Luci y Lauren

One of our friends loved the activity where we talked to people in the street. We were fascinated by the girls night activity. We would recommend it! Also, the café activity was really fun and we liked the student-teacher relationship. The «lyric training» activity was fun and useful for our comprehension. The school was very good at including all the students in the activities and I think that that´s essential to the school´s atmosphere. The teachers (Teresa and Sonia) were fantastic and are super cool!

Lorena, Sam y Leah

Spain is very beautiful and animated. The school is so funny and the painting of the classes are very creative. It was an interesting experience. The teachers are very funny, young adults. Marta and Manu were very useful. We went to the ancient part of the city and we took a cooking class. We did tortilla y churros. It was so delicious.

Hello! We are Nicole, Elizabeth and Sophie. We are from England and we are going to Palmers Green High School in Enfield. Valencia is an amazing city and we learned so much.

We learned many new words and sentences as well. The videos help us a lot with the work. On Thursday we walked around the historic centre  of Valencia and we visited the cathedral and the train station. On Friday we went to the central market and we saw snail still alive. In conclusion, Valencia is interesting, clean and vibrant and we enjoyed it so much.

We are students from Austria that visited Valencia and went to Taronja school for a week. We had very funny classes. Why?  We spoke a lot in class and we learned many new things. We made questions to people in the streets as well. We went to some excursions with the school. We visited Albufera, the city of the Arts and Sciences, where we saw a very interesting museum, a 3D movie about dinosaurs in the Hemispheric and many animals that live in the see in the Oceanographic. We did two walks around the city and we learned a lot about Valencia. In addition, we get to know very delicious dishes with Fernando y we ate Paella. In conclusion thank to everyone that made this week unforgettable.

Emanuel, Bebo, Adschi, Anna

We really like staying in Valencia and taking part to the class in Taronja school. The teachers (Pablo and Manuel) had taught us a lot and we have learned many things. Moreover, we really like the different excursions as for example Albufera and the Oceanographic. Another thing that we liked so much was the spanish cooking class with Nando. The different dishes were delicious and when we will be back home in Austria we will cook them for our parents. In addition, we enjoyed so much the museum of «Fallas» and we want to travel again to Valencia when there will be the party of «Fallas». We would really like being part of this celebration and seeing the different figures, the fireworks. Especially we like so much all the city, in particular the old part. We want to thank so much the school Taronja school , the teachers and our spanish families. It is sure that we will visit Valencia another time.

Denise, Katharina

Our week in Valencia. The week in Valencia was very nice and we visited many things. The first excursion was in the Albufera’s park. Not only we went with the boat, but we also saw the fields of rice. On Sunday we went to the city of the Arts and Sciences and then we went to the Oceanographic, where there was a show with dolphins. Probably this is the most interesting attraction. The next day we went to the ancient part of the city in Valencia. This week we also saw the beach. One day we did an excursion to the central market. It was an interesting experience but we will not visit it again because the smell was very bad. On Thursday we visited the museum of «Faller». We think that the «Fallas» are very spectacular. In conclusion it was a very nice trip that passed so fast. We will come back to Valencia one day.

Birgit, Selina, Isabelle

Our week in Valencia. This week we have learned a lot with the teachers Pablo and Manu. Not only we have improved our grammar, but also our knowledge of Spain. Now we know much more things about the culture and the people in Valencia. In the classes of Pablo and Manu there are more important things than having good marks, like for example communicate in spanish. Our experiences with the families were just good- good food, nice bedrooms, interesting conversation. The first day was about going to the city of the Arts and Sciences, where we get a lots of informations about dinosaurs and we could make many experiments. Then we went to the 3D cinema and the Oceanographic were there was a dolphins’s show. Another day of this week we went to the beach to play football, swimming and sunbathing. The most funny moment of our time here was the day in which we cooked specialities of Spain with the cooker Fernando. At night we ate «arroz al horno» with the people of Taronja school. We are hoping to come back one day of our life. Thank you for everything.

Lea and Nadine

We liked taking part to the excursions, that they were always well organized. We enjoyed so much the city of Arts and Sciences and the route in the old part of the city. Beside that, we enjoyed the day we have visited the beach, but sometimes the excursions were a bit exhausting for the hot. The teachers of Taronja school are very funny and they are very motivated in teaching their language to students. We think we have learned something new. In general, the week in Valencia has been an amazing experience.

Pia and Eva

Hello!  We are students of the Tulln high school in Austria. We are studying spanish since 4 years and we want to improve our linguistic abilities in Valencia. We liked that the teachers were nice and they taught us a bit more of spanish than in the school. We think that the classes are too long, because at the end of the class everyone was tired. When we were not in the school we visited different places like Albufera, the city of the Arts and Sciences, the Oceanographic, the route around the old area in town, the central market.

Oliver, Tobias, Sebastian, Felix, Kristina

Hello to all the world! We are students from Austria and we stayed in Valencia for one week. We are studying spanish since 3 years and for that we went to Taronja school. Here we like more the relation with the teachers, because is very different from the classes in Austria. A thing that we did not like were the classes in the afternoon because we prefer spending time in the open air when it is hot. We visited the city of Arts and Sciences, all the modern and ancient parts of the city, the Albufera y much more. But the nicest thing was the beach because we do not have see in Austria.

Maxi, Manu, Verena, Lorena, Hannah

We are students from Austria and we have 17-19 years. We did a trip to Valencia with our school. We like Valencia because there were very funny and friendly people. Beside that, our impression of  Valencia is the you live very well. We think that the spanish language sounds very nice. Moreover, it was sunny and good weather. In Austria now it’s just five degree. The city of Valencia is very sumptuous and multi-coloured. At the end, the best: the beach and the see are amazing. We like it so much!

Nicola, Mara, Celeina, Tabea, Michelle

Hello to everyone! We spend one week in Valencia. The city is very beautiful and especially the beach, the museum and the shops. We visited museums as «el Miguelete», the museum of «Belles Artes» and the museum of the ceramic and all of them are very appealing. Moreover, we went to school every day. We liked so much Taronja school because the teachers are incredibly nice and funny. The classes are interesting, useful and now is easier to speak in spanish. For all of that it has been a very nice week.

Maike, Marie, Sabrine, Celine, Svenja

The first night there were very big fireworks. The second day we went to the city. On monday we went for the first time to the school and we met Andrés and Pablo and the teachers are very nice. After school we went to a open air cine and then we went to a bar but the security man did not allow us to enter. We are very happy

Viktoria, Kristina, Ana, Leonie

 

Hello! We are students from Austria and we are 15 to 16 years old. For one week we have been in Valencia with activities and classes. It has been very interesting. The teachers have been kind and funny. We have done many interactive exercises. For example we went to the street with exercises in which we needed to talk with and ask questions to other Spaniards. The classes were very interesting, but we knew more than what we have learned here. The week’s activities sometimes have been disappointing, such as ¨the paella party¨. What we liked most was going to the beach and walk around the city. The experiences with the families was different for everyone, but overall it was a positive experience. Overall our trip was unforgettable and we are very happy that we have had the opportunity to visit Valencia. LAURA, LISA, LUCAS, EMILY, MAYA & MATTHI   We are five students from Austria and we have been in Valencia for a week to learn more structures and phrases in Spanish. It was a unique experience because the school is very different from our school in Austria. The teachers are very young and fun. In class there is a very nice atmosphere and the activities in class were variad, for example walking down the street and ask some people about current topics. We also liked the cooking class of chef Nando which was very funny and interesting. During this week we visited many interesting places in the city. So we want to thank everyone, especially our families and the teachers in Spain. However the days we spent at the beach were the best. DOMINIK, SOPHIE, HELENA, JEREMIAH, ISABEL   The week was a special experience, because the classes offered different opportunities to improve our knowledge of this beautiful language. What we liked most were the extraordinary methods with which the teachers gave us a new perspective to learn Spanish. Apart from school, this trip gave us the chance to meet the people of this wonderful country. All in all it was a memorable and fun week and we will miss Valencia. JONATHAN, KITTY, MORIK, NIK We spent a week here in Valencia and we enjoyed it a lot. With Taronja we learned a lot – of language and of the culture. We had many different activities which where all were fun. The families were very friendly and genuine and the teachers were funny and lived great experiences. It was an unforgettable experience that we will miss forever. ALEX, LAURA, DINAH, ANNA, HANNAH
