« «Hi, my names’Jess, I’m from Berlin»   these were almost the only words I could say on my first day in Taronja school.            After four weeks I can write this text. I know it’s not «world’s literature» , but it’s a pleasure that I can share this thoughts with other people. I liked a lot the teachers, very simpathetic, and the atmosphere a little bit crazy. Furthermore the program after the regular classes was varied and funny.                 In my first month in Valencia I learned a lot about Valencia’s people, very opened and lovely, I ate the typical food like  Paella and Gazpacho and I enjoyed the good weather/hot. But the best thing is the beach. Valencia is a city with everything (history, nature and shopping opportunities, relax and parties). Of course! There are things I miss, for example the cereal bread or drinking directly from de tap. But they’re only two things compared to all the good things. So: don’t shout! I’m going to stay other 5 months in Valencia ( the beautiful city of «the arts and sciences»). I’m curious about the things that will happen.

¡I liked everything! Being a student, speaking with my new friends. Especially I liked my teachers: Carlos, Alex, Ricardo, Victor. All of them very good teachers! Thanks a lot for everything. I’m going to come back to Taronja to learn Spanish.  

My name is John and I was studying Spanish in Taronja school during the two weeks just passed. – I chose Taronja school because there were some good reviews in Internet. – I like many things of Valencia: i like paella, the beach and the museums. – I like all the activities like the  «Tapas tour» and the «Oktoberfest». – I like going to the beach and when I was at the beach, I sailed to the sea.  

Mi stay in Valencia

I came to Valencia three weeks and half ago. I like Valencia very much: people are very lovely and usually they’re not arrogant, so it’s possibile to speak Spanish with them. The old buildings, that talk about an ancient time, are awesome, although the crisis is evident: lots of them are for sale or for rent. Others are closed for renovation, but I’ve not seen anyone working for them; it’s evident that the owners of these buildings don’t have money. The beach is very big and very beautiful, but there aren’t reefs. I don’t sleep well in Valencia,  Valencianos and tourists  like to party all night long, and I’m not used to this permanent noise. I like Taronja school too. Teachers are very professional and generally they motivate foreigners to learn Spanish. I learned a lot, above all the three verbs tenses: indicative (present, the different past tenses (!!!), the future and the conditional), the imperative (affirmative and negative), and a little bit the present subjunctive. I took three weeks of vacation from my job, for this reason it’s wonderful that the school is so good; as to Marta’s administration, she helped me a lot and she was always lovely. One desire: I’d like the teachers to teach a little bit more with texts about the Spanish history, culture and geography ( like Victor Manuel did in the last days).

Spain is an exciting and fabolous country!!!!
