Taronja is a school which is so well oranized. I loved the implementation of the dinamic clases of the best teachers. The activities are really attractiv and give you the chance to speak spanish which is pretty important if you only stay for a vew days. The master of the kitchen, Fernando, presented the tipical dishes of the region in Valencia and youalways got a sample at the delicious dishes. It really is the best school in Spain. It never gets boring!! You can always do something!! Sabina from Poland

Hey! My name is Hanin from Saudi Arabia. I stayed 9 months in Taronja, but in Valencia since June 2012. I remember when i came here i wasn’t able to say something in spanish. I really like the city, the beach and many places here. The school was just perfect. They also have a really good system of mangaging, nice teachers and people in the reception. With just a vew words i’d like to say thank you to everyone, the teachers for taking care and the assistance. I also want to thank Jenny for helping me in any situacions and to Fernando for the great Paella Party! There are no words which could discribe my gratefulness.

HI!

My name is Clara and i’m from Denmark. I arrived 3 months ago in Valencia and when i arrived i couldn’t speak one word in spanish. The 3 months were a incredible time for me. Valencia is a beautiful city because she offers so many different things. In summer ( september- october ) you can visit the beach in Malvarrosa which is really near the city. Of course the school offers many activities too : for example the Intercambio ( its a good oppurtunity for practicing your spanish with Spanish ) and the Paella Party which is on every Tuesday with all the students of the school. At the Weekend there are many partys at the beach or in a club. The partys are always really funny.  Also the class is so funny and intensive at the same time and we learned so much in such a little time. The teachers are very nice, kind and are more like friends because they join the activities and partys too. In these 3 months i met many new people who where in the same situacion as me : we wanted to learn spanish. I will return to Denmark with a bunch of new friends and beautiful memories of Taronja and my incredible time here in Valencia. I want to say thank you for everything, Taronja! I will never ever forget my stay here. Maybe we’ll see us soon! Clara Denmark

  I am Annie and i’m from Australia. I was for 3 weeks at Taronja.The school and the teacher are just awesome! I would love to come back to Valencia next year! Annie

HI!

  My name is Claudia and i’ve been studying here for 4 months in Taronja! I began to learn spanish here and i couldn’t speak a word in spanish before. After the 4 months my aim now is to finish my stay with the DELE test with the level B2. I hope i’ve done well! But actually i want to talk about the school. Taronja is a school with many activities – almost everyday!  The teachers are super friendly and they also take part at the activities. It’s not a teacher – student relationship, it’s more a friendship between two persons who want to learn things. The students want to listen to spanish and want to learn some tipical things which exist in Spain and meanwhile the teachers want to know something about your country. In the summer  there are everday different activities, but the most famose one is the party at the beach every Friday. It’s a great experience for all of the 30-70 tudents from Europe, but also from Asia, America and Australia, when they are together at the beach and talk and enjoy the time. So in Summer there is always something to do, there are many partys, students and almost ever week the students change. But the Winter is also cool at Taronja. There are not as many students as in Summer, but you get a feeling of beeing a family. I really cant say if i like the Winter or the Summer more. They just are two different experience, but both are incredible and i will never forgett my stay in Spain!   Claudia Switzerland

  I arrived at the 1 of september in Valencia and at the school and i felt immediately good there. If you would discribe Taronja in one word it would be INCREDIBLE. There are many activities for example the Paella Party, de Cinema Nights and the partys. We’ve never been bored here. We also could go to the famose beach Malvarrosa until october in the summer. I had such a awesome time in the school. The lessons are really funny, but at the same time you learn the grammatic, are laughing so much and speaking about many topics. These 3 months were intensive and life-enhancing. I wont doubt to return to Valencia because i will miss this place really fast.Well, thanks for everything Taronja and see you soon!! Leila, Switzerland

  We want to say thank you for this amazing 2 weeks and also to our teachers Mariajo, Carlos and Victor ( the tall one ).You are brilliant! We learned a lot of spanish and about the life and thoughts of the Spanish, too. Especially about the people in Valencia. We liked it so much! The school is so lovely and amzing. She offers so many activities for the students! We want to thank the school for everything, too! We will come back 🙂 Jeka and Stefan

 

4 weeks in the school!

I’m 54 years old and 30 years ago i quitted learning spanish in my school. A few days ago i decided to start learning spanish again. I chose Taronja because the school has a very informative webside and my agency recommended it. I enjoyed the time in Valencia and wih Taronja. Normally there are 4-7 students in one class and my class had 4. The level of the class was perfect for me. The Teacher are also nice, active and flexible. I was the oldest student of all, but that wasn’t a problem. My favorit activitades of the week were the cookingclass with chef Nando and the Paella Partys. Nando cooked the food and explained the recipe with a lot of impetus. At the Weekends i loved to go hiking in the mountains. I went by car to the park of Penyagolosa ( 150km northern Valencia ) and to the Serrellas ( 150km southern Valencia ). The Hikingtours were absolutely awesome!The mixture was perfect. I’ve learned the  language so fast. After 4 weeks i can speak spanish quite well and i loved staying in Valencia! Best regards Frank

HI!

  We are Billy, Marta, Nicole, Martina, Francesca, Rachele, Claudia, Lisa, Elisa, Claudia and Martina. We are girls from Italy and we came to Valencia to improve our spanish for one week. The host families recieved us very kindly and only during one week we fell in love with Spain because the spanish boys are really hot, openly and they’re laughing all the time. The places we liked the most were the Oceanográfico and the large park, where we met handsome guys 🙂 We learned much in School and we want to say thank you to the teachers for example Ana and Lucia who are very friendly, nice and goodlooking. We enjoyed the cooking class with chef Nando who is really crazy and handsome.We will miss you Spain! Kisses Well… Valencia is a very beautiful and amusing city. The poeople are charming and polite. The school is very beautiful, too and the teachers are really nice ( but Ana is still the best). We visited the Taurino museum, the old and the modern city, the harbour and the beach. The shops and restaurants in Valencia are typical spanish.We did some activities like eating Tapas, eating Paella and learning Salsa. The experience was fantastic and it was really funny. We are coming back to Valencia for sure! Also to see Ana again!   We made interesting and funny experience in Valencia, found new places, locations and traditions, learned how to cook and something about the celebrations in Spain, which we dont have in Italy. We visited for example the Taurino museum, where you can learn something about the tradicions of the bulls and the bullfighter, and the Fallero museum, which is beautiful and where you can see many floats, which won through all the years the competitions of the Fallas.But what we liked the most was lying at the beach because it’s really wide, clean and there are many nice shops at the seafront. We also liked the salsa because we love to dance, having fun and the place was very inviting and we made some new experience. It was a unforgetable week, the teachers were so nice and they helped us pretty much improving our spanish. Everytime when we think about Spain we will have a huge smile in our hearts! ♥ Chiara, Vicky, Laura   This week was full of brilliant experience!We were at the beach, swom in the sea and were relaxing all the time. We made a tour to the central point at the city and visited many museums like the Taurino museum. But what we really liked was the city of science and art and of course the great show of the dolphins. At somedays we were at different places in Valencia, where we had to do some activities like creating a dish at the Mercado Central. We also had the possibility to improve our knowledge of the language and getting to know other persons from other countries. The teachers were very kind and pleasant; we also played many games for learning the language easier. For the night we had many activities for everybody like eating Paella, dancing Salsa and go for some Tapas. The nights were fantastic! Later the day we went shopping for a long time beacause all the thing here are way cheaper than in Italy. At the end we like to say that we had a unforgetable time here and we will always remember these days in Spain! Martina, Marta, Silvia   Our experience in Valencia were awesome !! The city was were clean and full of gorgeos and nice people, original structures and of course there are cheap shops, where we were shopping the whole week.

We also visited the beach this week and we love spending time there because the weather is excellent and we swom a bit in the sea. The water was very clean and kind of warm. We had a class for learning salsa, too, which was so funny. One of the activities was to learn new words in the Mercado Central for cooking a spanish dish. And of course there was a class for cooking with the chef Nando, too. He learned us new recipes for making tipical food from Valencia and we also went for some Tapas in a few bars.
