I liked the classes, it has been a little more severe and I have studied a bit more grammar, but I think it was a good change, comparing it to last week, when we talked more and completed less exercises. Perhaps a bit more of the culture and less parties (I know that in Spain the culture = partying but I mean to visit more museums or listen more to typical music of Valencia or do more things yourself, like: instead of watching chef Nando cook, cook yourself). Perhaps a printer in the class of the computers but with a limited amount of sheets.

Hello! My name is Sarah, I’m from Ireland, I had a wonderful time in Valencia. The school is close to everything. The teachers are very helpful. I also have made many friends. My daughters also have learned a lot, not only the language but also about the culture. I will recommend Taronja to others, who want to have an experience in general. My daughter helped me with this!

My experience has been very nice in Taronja. The teachers and the school are very good and there are many activities, including tapas and the paella party. Valencia is beautiful and I will return soon. Thank you for this great week!

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

The year 2016 has been a fantastic year! And do you know why? Because this year I have met the Taronja school. A school to learn Spanish and enjoy Valencia with other students who are in the school. This year I have been in the school twice as a student and at the end of the year as an intern. To organize very cool nights and every week different ones. Being a type A intern in Taronja, was like having a job where you can learn a lot. Sometimes a hard job but with the other interns a time to never forget. I stayed for a year and a half and Taronja has given me the opportunity to incredibly improve my Spanish 🙂 And I like that I have the feeling like working with the Taronja family. As the people working there are very different compared to the people in the Netherlands, for me it was fantastic that I could give my experience of work to my colleagues in Taronja and vice versa. A greeting from an intern who would like to return to Valencia 😉 Marco

I really enjoyed these two weeks at the Taronja school. Thanks to classes, I had the opportunity to talk a lot and I learned soon like having a conversation in Spanish. I like that teachers are demanding and fun, they are very genuine and friendly people. In addition, the activities and the classes give a panoramic of the life in Valencia. I liked the Ruzafa neighborhood, where my flat was. I had a great time in that neighborhood full of life, bars and restaurants.

Taronja school is much more than I expected: the teachers are great, enthusiastic and fun; the activities are good to get to know Valencia; furthermore, the other students are very friendly. Thank you for everything!

Today is my last day at the Taronja school. I’m sad… I always feel very well. I had fun and made friends quickly. Thanks to my teachers: Josevi, Serjio, Guillermo and Elisa! Luckily Valencia is not far away… I’ll be back soon! Greetings, a big hug for everyone… See you soon, in the autumn. Rita

I went for 2 months to the Spanish school Taronja and the time in Spain was wonderful. All the people were very nice and friendly. I met many interesting people and met many friends. The environment of the school is very good. All the teachers were always helpful and I had many enjoyable classes. I had a nice time! Spanish is a nice language and I surely will return to Valencia and Taronja to improve my Spanish. The activities were very amusing and the paella and the food in the cooking class always were good. My family in Spain was hospitable and always helped me. Thanks for everything! The time here was unforgettable!

I want to study Spanish because I love this language and also Spain. Valencia is very beautiful and I’m glad I have studied Spanish here. The teachers are very friendly and they strive for us to understand it all.  I learned a lot of Spanish and it is now possible (more or less) for me to speak and understand Spanish. My class has been fantastic. I liked to study Spanish at Taronja. The people are all friendly and helpful. I liked that the school offers many activities. Also typical Spanish. I think they are all very interesting, but I have not done all. I love the paella party on Tuesdays and the language exchange on Mondays. Both are great for practicing the language. I also really like the cooking class because it is fun and the dishes taste very nice. I think to study Spanish in Spain is better than to study this in your own country. I think I’ve made a good decision. I recommend this school and I hope that more students will study Spanish in Valencia.

What a lovely and amazing experience these 3 weeks were. I never had that much fun learning. Every day was an adventure. And even after 5 hours in class I was still super motivated to join the school activities. Thanks to all the teachers for their patience with us. It was great laughing WITH them about our mistakes in class and they never made me feel I could not at least try to speak… even with just the few words I knew. I will definitely come back and try to stay on top of my Spanish. Thanks for all the activities – even though I came here by myself, I never felt alone! THANK YOU SO MUCH! ¡GRACIAS!
