HEY!

  We are Nadja, Lisbeth, Alex and Sascha from Germany. We’ve been in Valencia for one week for learning spanish at the Taronja school. We really liked Taronja becuase the teachers were openly, kind, nice and very polite. It was such a great experience ! We also made many tours for example visiting the beach, the city of science and art and the hisoric city center. It was so cool! We’ve been to the stadium of Mestalla. It was fantastic! We often ate and drank something at the Bodega Fila wth many students and teachers from the school. Today we will go to the Chupiteria ( Shotbar).It’s so great to be here!! It was AWESOME!! 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.

Hi everyone!

«My name’s Stella, I study languages at the University, so I decided to have Spanish classes for four weeks in Taronja. It was an unforgettable experience! I met a lot of people with whom I hope to keep in touch. The school organizes lots of  interesting activities; above all I adored the parties on the beach. Valencia is a fantastic city that offers wonderful things.»

I liked the time I spent in Valencia, the school is very good. The activities such as Friday parties or  excursions in the weekend have been unforgettable. The activities have been good to meet other students. Even the teachers have been very kind. Mainly I had fun during my time in the school.

I don’t like bull fighting. The science museum is FÁNTASTICO! The weather and the teachers are great!

Taronja school is beautiful.

My third month in Valencia

I went to Valencia to learn the language and to know a little bit more the Spanish culture. During my lessons in the Taronja school, I discovered many new things and I had friendly school mates. I walked a lot in the historic centre and since I made a turistic tour with a school guide I know the words «murcielago», «gángolas» and others. The other day I climbed the Micalet Tower and Serrano Towers and I saw two great views. Since it was 12pm when I climbed the Micalet Tower, the bell started to ring. What a noise!

I walked a lot in the Park too and through the Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias, and there I drank the «horchata» for the first time in my life. I visited the Science Museum and I passed 4 hours there, but it was worth it. I tried many experiments with the light, the electricity and the body. Since I made the visit I know the words «hormigas» and «pollitos». I went to the «Paella Party», to the «Bodega fila» and to the «Ubik Café» with my school mates and I lived the typical Spanish life, I tried the food and the drinks and now I know the difference among the Valencian Paella and the others. I went to the beach many times because the weather in Valencia was very good, it didn’t rain and the sea is clean and warm. Since I live with a Spanish family I know how people live, I know the traditions and especially the food. I know how to say the most important words , like «herempena», «merluza», «horno» and also what to say when someone close to a person died. Today, Friday, I’m going to go to the «Salsa Night» and this Saturday to the «Bicycle Route» and I think they’ll be great too. My time in Spain has passed so fast, but it was amazing. Maybe I got lucky with my Spanish family, with the school and the mates, I don’t know, but I think that people in Valencia are very open, cheerful and sociable (Spanish people speak a lot and all at the same time, it doesn’t matter where: at the restaurant, at the bar, in the bus or in the metro). I think I have to come back to Valencia to know better and more the Spanish culture, that I loved.

I can’t believe that, since I came here only two weeks have passed, why now I can Speak Spanish more than before? I think that the lessons and the activities have been very useful. I could practice my grammar and the vocabulary I learnt during my classes, through the activities with the other students. So I feel like I speak Spanish from the morning until the night and I could make friends too. Without speaking English. I liked a lot my teachers, they were very sympathetic, thoughtful and funny! Also Marta and the staff of the association have been very helpful. I spoke with Marta about some worries and she has been great. Thank you for everything Marta! And of course thanks to my teachers. Particularly thanks for the party on the beach. What a great opportunity, I practiced Spanish until 5 in the morning with a lot of Tequila.

Besos Taronja!

   

  The school is perfect! There are always activities and you meet lots of people. It’s a good possibility to know the Spanish culture in Valencia city.

My experience in this school was beautiful. I’ve learnt enough, althoug I didn’t go to many lessons. I went to many parties and I visited lots of places. The teachers of the school were very professional and sympathetic. It appears that it’s easy to speak English, but it’s hard to write texts.

If every school were like this I’d like to study for my entire life!!! But now I have to work, but we’ll see at the «Tapas Tour», in this way you can drink and meet all the people of the world!!! The best way to learn is to have fun, like you do!!! Greetings and kisses to everyone

I liked a lot going to the Taronja school, because learning Spanish is funny, there’s not a classic and boring teaching method. Everything is very organized and the reception is always available. The events that the school organizes are always new and useful to practice the language with other students. The teachers are very competent and very young. I like them all! I spent two weeks in the school and I can say that I learned a lot and I would recommend Taronja to every person. I’m going to miss you!

Hi guys! My name’s Francesca, I’m 19 and I’m from Italy. I’m here to practice photography for three months and I’ve studied in the Taronja school for two weeks. Everything is great! I’ve done a lot of experience and I’ve met a lot of people from all over the world! You can do many activities in the school: «Tapas Tour» to meet the new students, cooking class with the Chef Nando, where you can see and taste typical dishes from Spain and lots of parties in the weekend! The teachers are very beautiful and kind and in a small time I’ve learnt a lot. Taronja is more than a school! Although I’ve finished the Spanish course, I believe I will keep on enjoying the school activities. Thanks to everyone in particular to my tutor Fernando!

I’m going to miss you!

I don’t like to remember, but that’s the reality: after a month spent here, this weekend I have to come back to Belgium. I think I’m going to have a very little space in my luggage not only for the things I bought, but especially for all my experiences and the things that Taronja school taught me. For this reason I want to thank all the people of the school: the teachers, the intermediaries…It’s because of them that after a month I can speak Spanish. I think I’m never going to forget words like «¡vale!», «vaamos chicos», «borracha», «me gusta», «hasta luego»,… But also the activities in the school gave me the best experiences: «Paella Party», «Tapas Tour», Umbracle, Carnaval, Tomatina, party on the beach, Oktoberfest,… In Valencia every day there’s a party!!! I can tell much more, but I’ll end here. Valencia the school and all the people 🙂 I’m going to miss you very very much! Hasta luego, Marie (A.L. haha)
