I like the school a lot. Teachers are friendly, tolerant, have humor and compression for newbies. The activities for studying were very enjoyable and varied. I like to do sports together. I recommend Taronja to others.

Valencia is a very good and fun city. The city has many old buildings and has many colors. The program of Taronja is super to study Spanish. In class Pablo and Elisa have learned us a lot about the history of the city and the forms of times. Our vocabulary is very big because of this. The Taronja school is a very good school and the teachers are very friendly.

Two months in Taronja are not enough. It has been a funny time with the people of the school. All the professors, interns and students are very friendly. Lessons are really entertaining and instructive. I’ve learned a lot, not only Spanish (which is the most important thing) but also history, culture and so on. I’d really like to come back. I’m gonna miss you all, see you soon!

GIULIO, RICCARDO, LORENZO, AURORA, VALENTINA Hello! We’re students at the Bruno Franchetti school in Venezia. Thanks to the week spent in Taronja School we have learned a lot in a funny way and the lessons were never boring. We have liked a lot going around the streets and talk to people, like when we went to the Central Market. The city of Valencia is really good and people here are calm and helpful. We recommend this experience in Taronja because the professors are experienced and funny. It has been a bomb! If you don’t believe it, come try it. GIANLUCA, FRANCESCO, ILARIA, MARCO Hello, how are you guys? We are just fine, we have spent an amazing week. In Taronja we’ve learned a lot about culture and spanish language. We’ve really liked Valencia because it’s a crazy and calm city at the same time! The professors are really experienced and funny, they know how to increse interest because we have only done practical activities for the real life and to learn the language. We are looking forward to come back, thanks for everything! (¡Jolin!) OLEG, MARCO, ALESSIA, CHIARA, RICCARDO We have liked the school very much. It’s really interactive, because we have seen monuments and learn new words and different expressive forms everyday. The professors are really funny and pleasant, they know how to entertain the young. We have really liked to have discussions about topics regarding newness, that we need to live in Spain and talk in a better way. SARA, MARIO, MATTEO, RICCARDO, ELEONORA We have liked Valencia very much, most of all the modern part of the city, but the ancient part too. All the professors have been helpful and nice. I think I’m gonna miss everything about Valencia. The thing we liked the most has been the climate: it’s very hot and sunny everyday. 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’ve seen the Mestalla stadium and I’m in love with Valencia Footbal Club (and Paula, the girl from the stadium). Valencia it’s a beautiful city, almost like Lecce, my city. 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.

SARA, MARIO, MATTEO, RICCARDO, ELEONORA Valencia nos gustó mucho, sobre todo la parte moderna de la ciudad, pero también el casco antiguo nos interesó. Todos los profesores fueron muy disponibles y divertidos. Pienso que voy a echar de menos todo de Valencia. Lo que nos gustó más es el clima; hace mucho calor y hay sol todos los días. Hay también mucha gente por las calles, también por la noche y las tapas son muy buenas. Valencia nos ha encantado, es una ciudad muy bonita, la gente es muy abierta y simpática y el clima es estupendo. ¡No queremos volver a Italia! En esta semana yo he llegado a ser español. He visto el Mestalla y estoy enamorado de Valencia club de futbol (y de Paula, la chica del estadio). Valencia es una ciudad maravvilosa, casi como Lecce, mi ciudad. Un día volveré! Valencia, la ciudad de las naranjas, nos ha encantado como su vida alegre, sus habitantes y su comidas. Una parte de nuestra historia pasa por Valencia y nunca las vamos a olvidar. ANDREA, CAMILLA, FRANCESCA, LEONARDO, PIETRO Escuela: nos ha gustado. Los profesores eran simpáticos y disponibles, las lecciones eran interesantes y generalmente las actividades estavan bien organizadas, a exepción de la visión de la película, en cuanto no hubo una discusión sobre la película al final de la misma, y el film necesitaba los subtítulos para ser comprendido por gente que no es madrelengua. Familia: era simpática, disponible (también para modificar los horarios) y cocinaba siempre mucha y buena comida. Ciudad: no obstante Valencia es muy grande, nos hemos quedado bien. Además, nos han gustado los monumentos y los lugares más famosos. Cosas que nos han gustado más: la tarde en la playa y la Ciudad de las Ciencias. Recomendaríamos este viaje a otros estudiantes de nuestra edad. EMMA, GIULIA, MARTINA, SILVIA, CAROLINA, ILARIA, BEATRICE ¡Hemos pasado una semana maravillosa! Hemos aprendido nuevas palabras, nuevas expresiones y también costumbres y tradiciones ¡Que suerte que hemos llegado en un periodo de fiesta! Las cosas que más nos han gustado han sido las Ciudad de las artes y de las ciencias, la Mascleta, la playa y la paella. Por lo que concierne la escuela nos ha  gustado mucho hacer actividades interactivas por las calles, como por ejemplo pedir informaciones a la gente de la ciudad y la visita al Mercado Central. Lo hemos pasado muy bien de verdad con los profesores y tambièn con las familias. Nos ha encantado que la escuela estuviese en el centro de la ciudad porque hay muchos bares y tiendas que se pueden disfrutar en el tiempo libre: ¡Ha sido todo genial! Es una experiencia que recomandamos a todos los estudiantes.

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!

Hola! We are a group of students from The Netherlands. We went to classes for a week and we have learned how to speak and understand Spanish. It’s nice that we go to la Ciudad de las artes y las ciencias that’s organized by the school. Also the teachers are really motivated to learn us español. The two weeks we are here las Fallas begins. It is cool to see all the people enjoying the fireworks! The weather was also very nice and Valencia has a lot of fascinating history. We want to thank the teachers for their support and their time. We definitely want to go back to Valencia! We are estudiantes from Holanda. We had school for a week and we have learned a lot. Our Spanish level is a lot higher now. We visited the shisha bar and we are going to visit la ciudad de las artes y las ciencias. The weather is a lot better in here. And we like the fireworks of Las Fallas. We’re looking forward to the 19th of march. Then is the real Fallas and then there is fiesta everywhere. Valencia is a beautiful city and we recommend it. Pablo and Victor are really good teachers and they’re nice and easy.

I loved my Spanish class. The teachers Teresa and Marta were very kind and the class was very fun. There were many opportunities for me to practice my Spanish in my apartment, with an Italian girl in the class and also in the excursions every evening; for example the ´Tapas Tour´after 2 beers it was easier for me to speak Spanish with lots of people from different countries. Thank you for an amazing week!

I love Taronja. The 4 weeks there very useful, overall very fun. I enjoyed the classes with the fun teachers and the atmosphere is really cool. Thank you to Taronja for improving my Spanish with diversion, thank you Valencia for being a marvellous city. I will return one day to study at Taronja. See you later, Sara.

It was an experience extremely gratifying! I can´t believe that my 3 weeks here have come to an end. For me, this small moment in my life is very striking, I learnt how to speak Spanish in a trained way. The teachers, the atmosphere, the school, the personalities of the people, the presence of the different cultures, the activities… everything for me was perfect and even more. Today, I understand the expression: ¨Spanish courses and a lot more¨. I learnt a lot about myself in a positive way. I know a bit better who I am, and I know what are my strengths, my cualities, my goal and what I am capable of doing. Incredible no? I learnt a lot about myself in just 3 weeks than in 18 years. The ¨lot more¨ in the expression are the little things that they do so that you feel good. I have returned to my house like a flower that has been born. It´s not possible to be sure of my future, but I will definitely go back there. Sincerely, thank you so much for making me a richer person.

Hello! My name is Lien and I´m a Belgian girl. It´s the second time that I´ve been to Taronja to take part in a summer course. Thank you for a month of happiness, making friends, and above all; very interesting classes! When you go to this school you have to know that your Spanish speaking is going to improve very fast, but also you are going to laugh a lot and enjoy life. If I had known that I would have enjoyed myself and learnt so much, I would have come for more weeks! Until next year, hugs and kisses!  

Alexandra, Canada ¡Fue una experiencia tan gratificante ! No puedo creer que mis tres semanas aquí se han completado. Para mi, este pequeño momento de mi vida, es muy llamativo. he aprendido a hablar español de una manera entretenida. Los profesores, el ambiente, la escuela, la personalidad de la gente, la presencia a de diferentes culturas, las actividades…. Todo para mi fue perfecto y todavía mas. Hoy, comprendo la expresión: cursos de español y «mucho más». he aprendido mucho sobre mi de una manera muy positiva. Sé un poco más quien soy, y sé cuáles son mis fortalezas, mis cualidades, mi meta y lo que soy capaz de hacer. ¿Que increíble no? He aprendido sobre mi más en tres semanas que en 18 años. El «mucho más» son todas la pequeñas cosas que hacen así que me siento bien ahora. Vuelvo a mi casa como una flor que ha solo nacido. No es posible estar seguro de el futuro, pero volver aquí está en mis planes. Sinceramente, muchas gracias por hacerme una persona más enriquecida.
