HI!

My name is Clara and i’m from Denmark. I arrived 3 months ago in Valencia and when i arrived i couldn’t speak one word in spanish. The 3 months were a incredible time for me. Valencia is a beautiful city because she offers so many different things. In summer ( september- october ) you can visit the beach in Malvarrosa which is really near the city. Of course the school offers many activities too : for example the Intercambio ( its a good oppurtunity for practicing your spanish with Spanish ) and the Paella Party which is on every Tuesday with all the students of the school. At the Weekend there are many partys at the beach or in a club. The partys are always really funny.  Also the class is so funny and intensive at the same time and we learned so much in such a little time. The teachers are very nice, kind and are more like friends because they join the activities and partys too. In these 3 months i met many new people who where in the same situacion as me : we wanted to learn spanish. I will return to Denmark with a bunch of new friends and beautiful memories of Taronja and my incredible time here in Valencia. I want to say thank you for everything, Taronja! I will never ever forget my stay here. Maybe we’ll see us soon! Clara Denmark

  I am Annie and i’m from Australia. I was for 3 weeks at Taronja.The school and the teacher are just awesome! I would love to come back to Valencia next year! Annie

HI!

  My name is Claudia and i’ve been studying here for 4 months in Taronja! I began to learn spanish here and i couldn’t speak a word in spanish before. After the 4 months my aim now is to finish my stay with the DELE test with the level B2. I hope i’ve done well! But actually i want to talk about the school. Taronja is a school with many activities – almost everyday!  The teachers are super friendly and they also take part at the activities. It’s not a teacher – student relationship, it’s more a friendship between two persons who want to learn things. The students want to listen to spanish and want to learn some tipical things which exist in Spain and meanwhile the teachers want to know something about your country. In the summer  there are everday different activities, but the most famose one is the party at the beach every Friday. It’s a great experience for all of the 30-70 tudents from Europe, but also from Asia, America and Australia, when they are together at the beach and talk and enjoy the time. So in Summer there is always something to do, there are many partys, students and almost ever week the students change. But the Winter is also cool at Taronja. There are not as many students as in Summer, but you get a feeling of beeing a family. I really cant say if i like the Winter or the Summer more. They just are two different experience, but both are incredible and i will never forgett my stay in Spain!   Claudia Switzerland

  I arrived at the 1 of september in Valencia and at the school and i felt immediately good there. If you would discribe Taronja in one word it would be INCREDIBLE. There are many activities for example the Paella Party, de Cinema Nights and the partys. We’ve never been bored here. We also could go to the famose beach Malvarrosa until october in the summer. I had such a awesome time in the school. The lessons are really funny, but at the same time you learn the grammatic, are laughing so much and speaking about many topics. These 3 months were intensive and life-enhancing. I wont doubt to return to Valencia because i will miss this place really fast.Well, thanks for everything Taronja and see you soon!! Leila, Switzerland

  We want to say thank you for this amazing 2 weeks and also to our teachers Mariajo, Carlos and Victor ( the tall one ).You are brilliant! We learned a lot of spanish and about the life and thoughts of the Spanish, too. Especially about the people in Valencia. We liked it so much! The school is so lovely and amzing. She offers so many activities for the students! We want to thank the school for everything, too! We will come back 🙂 Jeka and Stefan

 

4 weeks in the school!

I’m 54 years old and 30 years ago i quitted learning spanish in my school. A few days ago i decided to start learning spanish again. I chose Taronja because the school has a very informative webside and my agency recommended it. I enjoyed the time in Valencia and wih Taronja. Normally there are 4-7 students in one class and my class had 4. The level of the class was perfect for me. The Teacher are also nice, active and flexible. I was the oldest student of all, but that wasn’t a problem. My favorit activitades of the week were the cookingclass with chef Nando and the Paella Partys. Nando cooked the food and explained the recipe with a lot of impetus. At the Weekends i loved to go hiking in the mountains. I went by car to the park of Penyagolosa ( 150km northern Valencia ) and to the Serrellas ( 150km southern Valencia ). The Hikingtours were absolutely awesome!The mixture was perfect. I’ve learned the  language so fast. After 4 weeks i can speak spanish quite well and i loved staying in Valencia! Best regards Frank

Sascha Koppe, Nadja Gaensewig, Liesbeth Vogt, Alexandra Martin We are a group of 10 german students. We stayed for one week in Valencia. The first time we saw the school we were really surprised because the way they teach the language was so new and different for us. We saw the momuments like the cathedral and visited the city of science and art in our free time. At night we always enjoyed going to bars ad you could party in every corner in Valencia. We watched a Foodball game from the Uefa Cup, where Valecia took part, too. At the end we can say that Valencia is a city, where you can have a really good time and we definitely recommend to do a trip to this wonderful city! J.

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.    

Hi! My name’s Philipp and I’m from Germany. I’ve been three weeks in Taronja. A time I’m not going to forget. I learned a lot but I also could go to many parties. The school organized very funny activities. The teachers were funny and they helped me a lot. Valencia is a wonderful city. I liked a lot going to the excursion. Furthermore the beach is very close to the centre. Going at the beach after classes:

PHENOMENAL!

I am Johannes. I’m 20 and I live in Germany very close to Frankfurt. I spent five funny weeks here in Valencia. After having Spanish classes for two years in college I decided to study Spanish in Frankfurt University. A friend of mine recommended me Valencia and she told me it was a wonderful city. So I decided to look for a Spanish school in Valencia. And I found Taronja school. I like Valencia so much! The nights at the Oktoberfest with the beers from Germany were phenomenal. The time here has passed very fast and in two days I have to come back to Germany, where it’s very cold 🙁

No me gusta la Corrida; ¡el museo de la Ciencia es FANTÁSTICO! ¡El tiempo y los profesores son estupendos!

La escuela Taronja es muy bonita.
