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!  

I want to thank Taronja staff for this amazing experience. I really enjoyed my stay in Valencia and the school. I received much more than I expected and I’m sure that I will come back one day. Unitl next time!  

I have been eight months in Taronja, i have been studying english and all was going well.  I liked the experience here: the teachers are funny and friendly, they helped me a lot; the activities which the school organizes are interesting, and what i liked for the most was the cooking class with Chef Nando; my classmates come from different partes of the word and we have been very well. When I started this course in November 2014, i had only some little knowledge of the language, and now i improved it a lot. We didn’t only study the grammatic or the vocabulary, but also the spanish culture. Overall, to study spanish at Taronja school is highly recommended. And also, the life in Valencia is really comfortable, it’s a beautiful city. I liked to come back here another time.

I liked a lot Taronja! I have been there for four weeks and now i am able to have a conversation in spanish, and i understand, more or less, what people are talking about. Fortunately, people had a lot of patience with me (i speak very slowly) and they tried to help me. Teachers are very energetic and every person enjoy the courses. I have never been bored here; there are a lots of activities, and my my favorite one was going to »Montanejos», but i also enjoyed a lot to cook with chef Nando. I’m knowing a lot amazing people who come from different countries so I learnt a lot of things about their culture, not only the spanish one. I will absolutely come back to study another time. The long beach, funny activities, the beautiful city. Who doesn’t like to stay here? If you would like to study spanish , you have to come here. Like my teacher says »ALL VERY COOL» thank you for all.  

I have had a very nice week. I chose to do the super intensive course and I was afraid it might be too heavy and boring. But no, I enjoyed my time and improved my spanish while having fun. I have also enjoyed my time that I shared with my host family which the school had selected for me. I return to Paris with many good memories. -Patrizia

Taronja school is a good place to learn spanish. In the school you meet a lot of people from different countries, in general European. The people who work for the school make everyone feel very welcome and comfortable. If you have any problem they help you. Valencia is a beautiful and comfortable city, I will return someday to this city 🙂 Irena Germany

GRUPO 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    

¡Hi everyone!

We’re Lukas, Fabio, Jakob y Matthias, four boys from Austria. We have been in Valencia for one week and we have seen lots of cultural things. Today is the last day of our trip and it has been a week we liked a lot. We visited the «Ciudad de la Ciencia» and we loved it. In the Oceanografico we saw lots of animals who live in the sea and we saw a dolphin show. We went to the castle of Sagunto and Peñiscola and we went to the beach because it was a wonderful day, but the beach smelled like cucumbers. It has been a week we won’t forget. Fabio, Lukas, Jakob, Matthias   This week we’ve been in Valencia. We went to the «Ciudad de las artes y las Ciencias». On Monday we had our first day in Taronja school. We went to the beach sometimes and we swam in the sea. We went to the Old Town and we visited the Castles of Sagunto and Peñiscola. On Wednesday we had a free afternoon so we went shopping and to the beach. We tried horchata and churros with chocolate at the Mercado Central. After a cooking lesson we tasted Paella and Sangría. During the lessons we wrote a rap which compares Valencia to Austria.  It has been a very interesting and funny trip and we learned a lot. Kevin, Nadja, Christina, Lukas This week we’ve been in Valencia. After lessons we did a lot of activities with the lovely teachers of Taronja. On Monday we went to the Old Town that is very beautiful and interesting and we visisted the «Museo Taurino».  Next day we went to the Paseo Marítimo and we visited the new port and also the old one. Furthermore we visited the «Mercado Central» and after we had cooking lesson with the Chef Nando, the best of all the world, as he says. After we ate the best paella of our lives. But the best thing was the «Ciudad of las Artes y las Ciencias» and the romantic cities of Sagunto and Peñiscola. In summary this trip has been very funny, interesting and we learned very much, no, more! Theresa, Anna, Joachim, Christina   We’re Kathi, Vici, Teresa, David, Dominik, Lucas, Clarissa and Michael  from Austria. We’re Spanish students so we went to Valencia with our Spanish teachers. We went to the beach, we enjoyed the sun, we visited Peñiscola and Sagunto and the «Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias». We slept in Valencian families houses and there we ate lots of jam biscuits. .We studied in Taronja, a Spanish school for foreigners. In total we spent four days in the school, we improved our Spanish and we increased our vocabulary. The last day the chef Nando cooked a paella that was very good.   Ultimately we spent an awesome week.    

I liked studying in Valencia and in the Taronja school very much, and I hope I have learnt something. The teachers and the other members of the staff have been very kind and have done everything was possible to let the students have a good experience. Personally I would have preferred to have had more conversations classes instead of grammar classes. I went to Spain to speak Spanish, but outisde the school the other students preferred to speak English. Also in the shops when I asked for something they always answered me in English. It has been very annoying! Or maybe my Spanish is not so good!

Goodbye and thank you very much.

After that, in the morning we went to school every morning. After school we did activities like visiting the oceanografico, which was very interesting and fun and we passed through the streets of Valencia. Izana Atsbaha, Daniyal Burney, Rahul Babawala Monday we went to play football. Football is fun to play. We also visited the city. The city is very interesting.

Tuesday we went to the aquarium. The fish were very big. It was very fun! At night we went to a paella party. Paella is very nice. Wednesday we went to the museum of science. The museum is very interesting. After we went to the beach, it was very big and it was very hard to play football, but it was fun.

The first day we arrived with my family at eight o’clock. We had a small plate of paella, we sat ourselves down for a while and then we went to bed. The best part was the science museum where we had a lot of interactive activities. The worst part was that we got woken up by the alarm of Izul.

Courtney Ihezie, Evan McKellouu

In my opinion, Valencia is very beautiful because it is very big and the people are nice. During the week, we went to the beach and played football, but it was very difficult! Besides, we went to oceanographico, it was very fun. Yesterday, we visited the science museum. Today, later we go the biographic park. It was awesome!

On the first day, we got to Valencia airport. When we arrived we met the families we were going to stay with. The next day the families showed us the way to the school and this was the first day of classes. The school day is three hours long. Also in Valencia, we had paella, which is a traditional Spanish meal, and we went to the beach, and the science museum. We also went to the Bioparc and the Oceanografico.

Hi, we’re James and Jaymee. We’ve been in Valencia for three days and it’s been really good. We went to the Taronja School, and it’s better than school in London. It’s really hot in Valencia and there are loads of shops. This school is better at teaching Spanish than our school in England. They explain things more simply at this school. We would love to live in Valencia.
