Mario, Alemania

Hola, me llamo Mario y soy de Alemania. Estuve casi dos meses en la escuela Taronja. Pasé un tiempo muy bueno en la escuela y en Valencia. Me encanta mucho la ciudad y su posibilidades. La escuela ofrece muchas actividades para disfrutar el tiempo libre. El concepto de Taronja para aprender español es un poco diferente de otras escuelas que yo conozco porque no hay libros. Por eso es posible corresponder más a los diferentes niveles de los alumnos…y me encanta mucho el estilo divertido de todos los profesores! Para mi fue la mejor decisión del año ir a Taronja…y aprendí mucho allí. Si tienes el plan de aprender español en España, yo recomendaría Taronja. Hasta la próxima. Voy a volver… Saludos, Mario.

Fenja, Alemania

Hola, soy alemana y tengo 42 años. Me ha gustado mucho el tiempo con la escuela Taronja. Los profesores son muy buenos y dan clases variados con mucho ánimo. He repetido un poco de gramática pero sobre todo tenía la oportunidad de hablar mucho. Aparte de las clases regulares había muchas actividades como paella partys, paseos, clases de cocina, cine y mucho más. Conocí a mucha gente y todo el mundo era simpático. Si tuve una pregunta siempre había alguien de la escuela que fue dispuesta a ayudarme y darme consejas adónde ir o qué hacer. Además es que Valencia es un encanto. Estoy segura de que volveré y también vuelvo a tomar clases en Taronja. Recomiendo que os quedéis por lo mínimo dos semanas, es que el tiempo pasa volando…

Anna María, Alemania

Me llamo Anna María y tengo 19 años. Estuve en Valencia 6 semanas y ahora me siento triste que tengo que dejar todos mis nuevos amigos y Valencia. La escuela es muy buena para mejorar tu español y además las clases son muy divertidas. Me gustó mucho que los profesores no son tan estrictos y pudimos hablar sobre temas diferentes. Después de clase siempre había actividades diferentes para todos los gustos, además pude conocer s personas de todo el mundo. Por que yo viví con una familia española, también pude encontrar la cultura y la comida española. (¡Que me gustó mucho!) ¡Fue una experiencia inolvidable!

Yairo, Holanda

¡Hola! me llamo Yairo. Vivo en Holanda, Amsterdam. Vine a estudiar español por mi familia y porque me gusta el idioma. Ir a Taronja fue la mejor decisión que he hecho. Me encanta Taronja porque ella es una gran familia. ¿Quieres aprender español? Recomiendo Taronja.

Friederike, Alemania/Uk

¡Ya han terminado 12 semanas! No sé por dónde empezar. ¡La escuela es muy chula! Me gustaba mucho que no tuviéramos libros, sino las clases eran flexibles, divertidas y había de todo: gramática, poemas, debates, canzónes, cartas, español de la calle…   Sobre todo me encantaba el ambiente familiar en la escuela. Me sentía muy cómoda. Los profesores son todos diferentes y cada uno tiene su especialidad e historias interesantes. Lo que todos tienen en común es que se ocupan mucho de todos los estudiantes y sus progresos. Además hay muchas actividades para disfrutar y conoces la ciudad y el país. Recomiendo el intercambio los lunes para practicar español con la gente de Valencia. ¡No hay que olvidar los compañeros de clases! Conocí a mucha gente de varios países que voy a echar de menos. ¡Lo pasabamos muy bien! ¡Era una pasada!

He disfrutado mi tiempo en la escuela mucho, y estas tres semanas han sido una experiencia increíble. Quería mejorar mi español en todas formas, pero particularmente mi capacidad de hablar, y durante mi estancia aquí en Valencia he tenido tanta oportunidades por esto, dentro de la escuela y tambien fuera durante las actividades.

Group Principessa

Principessa (2) We are 3 italian girls and we came here to learn spanish. We arrived at Valencia on third of april and we lived in groups of two persons in different families. The families were very likeable and organized. Every day our families prepared us a big sandwich with water, fruit juice and chocolate. Every morning from 9:00h until 14:05h we had class at Taronja, a very good school, where the teachers are very likeables, for example Angel and Lucia. The teachers put us in 4 different groups. Every morning from 13:00h we went outside the school because we made some activities on the street. For example one day we went to the train station and asked for information about the tickets. Another day we went to the central market because we wanted to get information about the prices of the meat and menues. To be in Valencia and to go to the school alone made us feel like we´re living here. Every morning we had to walk. One day which we liked very much was sunday, because we went to the Oceanografico and the Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias. This vacaitions were very cool and funny!   Names: Francesca, Alessia, Alessandra County: Italy     Principessa (3) We are two boys and one girl and we´re from Italy.

  DSC_0798My time in Valencia was absolutely fantastic. We had a great time at the Oceanografico. We saw a lot of interesting attractions at the aquarium. As well the Science Museum in Valencia was quite fun to visit. At the very first night when we arrived we met our supervisor Marta who took us by coach. She´s very nice and sometimes really fun tu be with. The Taronja school was a good experience for us to visit Valencia. In the morning we also had to study two lessons each day, even though we were allowed to go outside of our classroom during break time. We had different teachers for each interval. My time at Valencia was very fantastic. Valencia is unforgettable!

Valencia is a very beautiful and interesting city. We lived in pairs in spanish families during 6 days and we liked it very much.

Valencia is very funny. We visited many monuments and ate typical valencian meal. We visited many interesting museums.

Every day we had spanish class in Taronja between 13:30h and 17:00h. The classes helped us.

The activities which we made in the morning and in the evening were really good.

Especially the cooking class, the Oceanografico, the museums, the beach and the flamenco night.

We will come back to Valencia.

Hi at all!

We´re students from Austria and we had one beautiful week in Valencia. We visited many monuments of Valencia, for example the Plaza de Toros, the cathedral of Valencia and the Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias. The most beautiful monument for us was the Oceanografico, which is situated in the Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias. Every day we visited another monument in the morning. After lunch we had four hours of spanish class with Carlos and Clara. The classes were really interesting and funny. Every day we had to do an exercise for that we had to go out on the street and ask the people.

For the night we visited many bars and went to some activities, for example a tour de tapas and a night of flamenco. We could watch futball matches in the television as well.

The week was very nice but it ended too fast.

Hi at all!

We´re three boys from Austria which are studying spanish in a little institute in a villa. For that reason we went to Spain, to practice the language.

We lived in pairs in spanish families which are very nice and funny.

In the morning we made study trips to the monuments of Valencia and made some exercises for practicing our new knowledges.

At 13:30h we went every day at Taronja and studied with Carlos and Clara and in the evening we made typical things from Valencia.

Valencia is an impressive city with much culture and modern and old architecture.

It was a very interesting and unique voyage and we wish to come back to Valencia.

A WEEK WE WON’T FORGET

grupo tullnGRUPO TULLN

¡Hi!

«Somos de Austria, somos de Tulln

una ciudad que no es nada común

En clase de español mola mogollón,

con Carlos y Martina no hay mucha disciplina.»  

The beginning of the rap song we made during the Spanish class. We are three girls and we’re 17. We liked a lot last week. We went to the «Ciudad de las artes y las Ciencias» and we saw a dolphin show that we liked a lot. We went to the beach and to the castles of Sagunt and Peñiscola. We didn’t stay all the days in the school, and we saw the port, the beach, the old Town and the «mercado» of Valencia. Everything was well organized and we like the teachers- Maria José and Carlos- because they’re very lovely and kind. We had a great time, thanks. Kisses Raffi, Julia and Gabi
