Last minute we booked this intensive course. It was a very nice week with a very nice class. The chicos y chicas helped me a lot because especially for me from wednesday it was difficult to follow and too fast. Victor y Sonia are very nice and friendly but Victor is better for me as a teacher because he is calm and translates from English so I know what they’re talking about, Sonia is not the right teacher for me, she was too fast. But in general it was a very nice week and I’d like to say thank you to you all. I’m planning to come back.

I study spanish because I love spanish culture. I think in Valencia you can actually feel it. Valencia is a lovely city with many interesting places and lovely people too. I really like Taronja school. One month ago I couldn’t talk english at all. But now I’ve reached the level A2 and I feel more free than before. The teachers are really good, active and always helpful.

MARTINA, TERESA, DANIELA, ANNA We are Italian students from the school Gadda Rosselli. We have liked the school Taronja because it’s in the center of Valencia. The classes are very interesting and funny because the teachers are very nice and open. We learned a lot of vocabulary. The school organized the activities very good like for example going on the streets and talking with the people, cooking with Chef Nando, making graffiti with Nacho, doing a tour of tapas, dancing salsa, going to the City of arts and sciences and also visiting the central market and the old city center. We recommend the school for everyone who wants to learn Spanish. GAIA, ALESSIA, CAROLINA, VERONICA, ELISA Hello!

We are Italian students and we have had a wonderful week in the city of Valencia. The things we have liked the most were the streets full of people and with a lot of shops. In fact we all went for shopping a lot. Also we went to the beach and we had a lot of fun because there was sun and we have played together, relaxed and sunbathed. We have noticed that the traffic wasn’t that much and the way was free. Between the activities we did, we have learned to cook paella and how to make sangria. One day we have also did a course of graffiti. A night we danced salsa. Everything was very funny. The food in general was very good and the families were very hospitality. CHRISTIAN, GRAZIA, STEFANO, MALCOM, ARIANNA The first day we talked with each other about what we are thinking of the Spanish people. We also went to the streets to do some very funny interviews. We did a lot of funny activities, for example making an invisible country. We visited Valencia: it’s a big city, full of shops, bars and restaurants and we want to come back in the future. We saw all the public transports which are here in Valencia. We saw a lot of short films like «a french roast», one with a the phantom and one from José Mota and we discussed about it.We did a debate: Barcelona against Madrid, but the teacher didn’t choose a winner. We talked about the youth in Spain and what they do in their free time and the prejudices about Italians. Also to the streets to ask the young people what they did last weekend. We learned a lot of  local expressions. We talked about the type of bars and restaurants which are in Spain and about the typical Spanish menus and dishes. We did a lot of dialogues to learn the language and the expressions which they use in the restaurants. taronja is a very handy school because it’s located in the center and the clases are very funny. GIADA, CARLOTTA, DILETTA, LETIZIA Hello! We are students from a language high school in Gallarate, a city very close to Milano.

In the Spanish School Taronja we have learned a lot of new things but in a light and exciting way, with also classes on the streets.

Spain is an incredible country full of emotions it it was the bomb!

It was an unforgettable experience to do my internship and study in Taronja! I was here for three month – definitely to short. Taronja is more than a language school, it´s a big family. All of them are very friendly, they´ll help you with everything and they´re also going to party with you;) I met a lot of people from all over the world. We enjoyed the activities like the Paella and, most of all, the Fallas. Thank you Taronja for this opportunity, i had a great time! I´m sure that i´m coming back!  

My time in Valencia
I love living in Valencia. Its a beautiful city, its young, its alive. Theres always 
something to do, never a boring day. The climate is brilliant, the old city gorgeous and 
historical and its always good to have a beach around the corner. The people are wonderful 
and easy going. Im not planning on leaving just yet.

My time in the school
I had an amazing time `working´ in Taronja school. For me it was a great opportunity to 
improve my Spanish without being in class all he time and to meet some wonderful people 
along the way. Ive gotten to know Taronja as a big and warm family, exactly like the 
classrooms are the people. Fun, bright and all with a different personality. I loved to 
help out with the activities and to be in contact with other students, but my favorite 
thing of all was plasticizing things  Thanks for everything, im sure we will see each other
at the paella party´s or other activities! If you ever need any help with un activity or 
anything, you have my phone number :D

We did a lot of activities and as well we participated with the clases where they kept asking questions so we were always speaking in Spanish. Our families are lovely and friendly. During dinner they asked about our lives in Italy, the habits and what we want to do when we get older. the food was very tasty and delicious.

Sara: I have liked Valencia because it’s an active city although the weather didn’t help.

We are an Italian group with students of the school «Gadda Rosselló» and we can say that our experience in Taronja School and in Valencia was wonderful and full of interesting and fantastic activities. The teachers from the school were young and friendly and they showed us the beauty of the city of Valencia. The families were available and welcoming and made us thankful for the Spanish food. Sure we will come back to Valencia! Hello! This week has been wonderful. We visited a lot of interesting places like: the North station which was very original, the church of San Nicolas which was awesome, the central market which was very different in comparison with other markets, the fish market which was very big and in general the city of Valencia what us left with our mouth open. Also a thank you to the friendly people.

In conclusion we can say that this week has  been unforgettable. This week has been wonderful, funny and it made us improve our Spanish. The teachers have been very friendly and the clases interesting because the temes we discussed about have been attractive, the school is original and colorful which we have liked a lot.  The activity we liked the most has been the one with the graffiti because it’s something for youth. During some projects we had to speak with people from the street: most of the people, in particular young people have been very friendly and able to help us while some older people have been angry and nervous. With the weather we haven’t had luck: it rained the first few days so that’s why we couldn’t enjoy the city at its fullest. In conclusion the trip to Valencia has been special and we would like to do it another time: we recommend it to who wants to have fun and learn the language.

I worked 11 weeks as an intern for Taronja. It was a great time and I really enjoyed it. To be an intern in the school does´t mean that only work and learn Spanish, you also meet a lot of people from different countries with different cultures. All the teachers and everyone else who works for Taronja ire very kind and funny and helps you in every situation. You can’t compare that to the class and the teachers you had in high school. I also really like the city, the people and the atmosphere in Valencia. I am sure that I am going to come back to Taronja one time and spend another nice trip.      

Hello, we’re a group of spanish students from Holland. This week we have been to Valencia at the Taronja School. We have visited many museums, such as the Oceanographic, the museum of Arts and we have been to other places too, like the beach and the Central Market. We have been hosted by spanish families. Besides we have been to shops and we have loved El Corte Inglés especially. We’ve had lesson with two really good teachers, and we have learned a lot. We can’t wait to come back to this amazing city!

At the end of the week it was easy to understand why our professor suggested this trip because for me it has been an unforgettable experience. To see las fallas for the first time was clear that «la noche de la crema» will be the best one, that doesn’t mean that the other activities weren’t good. I like Valencia. I like the lessons, I love las fallas. I hate english breakfast. We would never thought we would have taken advantage of lessons but after spending time at the school with Angel I hope they can come to our school. They’ll meet me talking more spanish than now. I’m coming back for my sabbathic year because of this trip, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and improve his english. In my opinion it’s interesting that teachers use iPads to teach, it works well with no doubts. Plus, we have liked the philosophical lessons too, where we had to discuss on deeper topics, like the question: What’s more important: love or happiness? which started a revolution. Plus, we have improved our spanish level with no doubt.

There’s a lot of people in the streets too, during the night and the tapas are really good. We are amazed by Valencia, it’s a really good city, people is really open and funny and the weather is beautiful. We don’t want to come back to Italy! During this week I’ve become spanish.

I’m gonna come back one day! Valencia, the city of oranges, has amazed us just like its joyful life, its citizens and its varoius meals. A part of our history goes through here and we’re never going to forget it. ANDREA, CAMILLA, FRANCESCA, LEONARDO, PIETRO School: we have like it. The professors were nice and helpful, lessons were interesting and activities were generally well organized, except for the movie, because we didn’t have time for a discussion after the vision and it needed subtitles in order to be understood by non mother tongue speaker. Family: they were nice, helpful (to change timetables too) and they always cooked rich and good meals. City: despite Valencia it’s a big city, we have been doing just fine. Plus, we have liked the monuments and famous places. Things we liked: night life, the beach and the Ciudad de las ciencias. We recommend this trip to the other students of our age. EMMA, GIULIA, MARTINA, SILVIA, CAROLINA, ILARIA, BEATRICE We have spent a beautiful week here! We have learned new words, new expressions and traditions too. What a lucky coincidence to be here in a period of celebration! The things we liked the most have been the Ciudad, the Mascleta, the beach and the paella. Concerning the school, we have really liked doing interactive activities in the streets, like for example asking questions to citizens and the visit at the Mercado Central. We have really been doing just fine with the professors and the families too. We have loved the fact that the school was in the centre of the city because there are many bars and shops to go during the free time. Everything was beautiful! It’s an experience we recommend to all the students.

ALESSIO BERGAMIN, SARA BROTTO, NICOLA GRAZIOTTO, MATTIA PERTINI During this week we have eaten well at the hosting families too. The school is good, the teachers are experienced.

Hello! We are a group of very nice people who are coming from Como, a little city in Italy where there is a lake and a lot of green zones. We are between 16 and 18 years old and we like Spain a lot because the people are very friendly and social. During our week of excursion we went to alternated clases with activities related to tourism. We spoke with a lot of people who have explained us how the world of working runs, especially about companies and jobs related to law because we study Law and Economics. According to us Spanish isn’t that difficult because it’s similar to Italian and because the people are friendly we spoke more and so we learned more. During the night we went out and were we together and that’s why we don’t want to go back to our home but we hope return. We recommend you this experience. Hello! We are a group of Italian students from the north of Italy. During this week we have learned a lot because the teachers are fantastic. The Spanish language is full of culture and the meaning is revealed during all of our happy moments this week: we read, we sang, we danced and learned during the classes because the most important thing to speak Spanish is the serenity and the power of willing. Thanks a lot to the teachers, Ana and Teresa, and to all the other people of Taronja School who gave us this vacation!
