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!

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!

Taronja is the best school in Valencia! It has enthusiastic and funny teachers, many cultural activites and for this reason you can meet other students and practice your Spanish along the whole week. During these two months I’ve learned a lot of Spanish and when I’ll come back again, I’m going to learn Spanish in Taronja for sure! Thank you very much!

Sara: I have liked Valencia because it’s an active city although the weather didn’t help.

We are an Italian group with students of the school «Gadda Rosselló» and we can say that our experience in Taronja School and in Valencia was wonderful and full of interesting and fantastic activities. The teachers from the school were young and friendly and they showed us the beauty of the city of Valencia. The families were available and welcoming and made us thankful for the Spanish food. Sure we will come back to Valencia! Hello! This week has been wonderful. We visited a lot of interesting places like: the North station which was very original, the church of San Nicolas which was awesome, the central market which was very different in comparison with other markets, the fish market which was very big and in general the city of Valencia what us left with our mouth open. Also a thank you to the friendly people. We did very funny activities like how to make graffiti, asking to people about the city and its traditions, making up a country, dancing salsa, having a cooking class, doing group games and a lot more also a thank you to the teachers. In conclusion we can say that this week has  been unforgettable. This week has been wonderful, funny and it made us improve our Spanish. The teachers have been very friendly and the clases interesting because the temes we discussed about have been attractive, the school is original and colorful which we have liked a lot.  The activity we liked the most has been the one with the graffiti because it’s something for youth. During some projects we had to speak with people from the street: most of the people, in particular young people have been very friendly and able to help us while some older people have been angry and nervous. With the weather we haven’t had luck: it rained the first few days so that’s why we couldn’t enjoy the city at its fullest. In conclusion the trip to Valencia has been special and we would like to do it another time: we recommend it to who wants to have fun and learn the language.

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.

Visitamos muchos lugares interesantes como: la estación norte que era muy original, la iglesia de San Nicolas que era estupenda, el mercado central que era muy diferente de los otros mercados, la lonja que era muy grande y en general la ciudad de Valencia que nos ha dejado la boca abierta.

En conclusión podemos decir que esta semana ha sido inolvidable. Esta semana ha sido maravillosa, divertida y nos ha permitido mejorar nuestro español. Los profesores han sido muy amables y las clases interesantes porque los temas tratados han sido atrayentes, la escuela es original y colorado nos ha gustado mucho.

En algunos proyectos teníamos que hablar con la gente por la calle: la mayoría en particular los jóvenes han sido amables y dispuestos a ayudarnos mientras que algunas mayores han sido enredados y nerviosos. Respecto al tiempo no hemos tenido suerte: ha llovido los primeros días y eso no nos ha permitido aprovechar bien la ciudad. En conclusión el viaje en Valencia ha sido especial y nos gustaría hacerlo otras veces: lo aconsejamos a quien quiera divertirse y aprender la lengua.
