It is the first time I’m in Valencia and I have to say that this city has delighted me. From a cultural point of view it has a lot to offer, because I found many museums and historical sites to visit. On the other hand, Valencia is a city that surely also offers the possibility to have fun and relax. The beach for example is very nice and for me it was a place where I could relax and get away from the movement of the city center. And that only 10 minutes away by metro! (in fact, if you are in the city center, you could never tell that Valencia is a city of the sea!). As for my experience, with Taronja School I am very very pleased and satisfied: I learned a lot, I could improve my grammar and also my expressive abilities. Through the many discussions we’ve always had in Spanish class I have learned a lot of new words and expressions. Talking with my classmates and discuss current issues with them has for me been, the best thing to practice Spanish (because I got in touch with people coming from all over the world and with who I shared the Spanish language as a fact we had in comun) and also to enrich my vocabulary. However, for me, Valencia has not been represented only by the Spanish school and the culture, but also by the family I lived with during these weeks. I got along very well with my new Spanish family and their three wonderful children, indeed there house, but for me it has almost been a home. Unfortunately my experience here is going to end tomorrow, but I already want to come back to Valencia to enjoy more this wonderful city has to offer me and of course I would also love to return toTaronja School because I can always improve my Spanish level.Thank you all, thank you all very much!

Hallo! My name is Frédérique and I’m from Paris. I’m a documentary filmmaker (film and radio) and I translate books from English into French. Last winter I was in Valencia for a few days to visit a protagonist of my last film. I spottet him in Paris and he is living here in Valencia. One day I was walking alone in the neighborhood of Cabanyal, near the beach, and I liked it so much that at the end of the visit I sat on a bench and cried. In this moment, I decided to return to Valencia to live here for a few months and learn more Spanish meanwhile. Then, I searched for a Spanish school in the internet and I found Taronja. Well, now that this experience is about to end, I can say that I was right on both counts. At Taronja School I learned a lot – also how to cook paella! – and I didn’t only get to know excellent teachers but also friends. And with Cabanyal, I discovered a neighborhood so interesting I wouldn’t have thought before. Many thanks to everyone and see you soon, because it is certain that the adventure only had begun…

  I have greatly enjoyed my time at the Spanish school. I have been very comfortable with the group and the professors. The Spanish classes were also amusing. I would have loved the Spanish course to be longer and therefore I believe I will come back.  

My name is Christine, I am German and I spent one week at the Spanish School. I really enjoyed that time because in our group we had a good atmosphere and I learned many interesting things about life and people in Valencia and Spain in general. I’ll also never forget the night of the Tapas Tour or the Oktoberfest. It was great fun! The visit in Valencia was an excellent experience and would like to stay a little longer. Goodbye!

  I’m Berry. I love Valencia and Taronja School because people are very kind and friendly. I think Valencia is a beautiful city and cosmopolitan. There are new and old buildings. In addition, I have made many foreign friends in school. Fernando is an interesting Spanish teacher and his food is very good! I liked the paella party very much. I want to come back to the Spanish school and also go to the beach again!

Hello Everyone! My name is Anna and I’m from Germany. I studied Spanish in Valencia for three weeks because I need the language for my studies, because I am studying international economies in Innsbruck, Austria. The teachers at Taronja are very friendly and qualified. I learned a lot. At the school each room has a special theme – I really liked this a lot. During this holiday, I met very friendly people and did many things. For example, the paella party, beach party, Tour de Tapas … I really enjoyed my time at the school and I would like to return again.

I had an awesome time at Taronja. The Spanish teachers are very friendly and competent. In addition, the other employees are friendly and always help you with problems. Special is, that there are many activities in addition to classes at the Spanish School. In my first week, for example, we went to the Tomatína festival. All in all I’m recommending the Spanish School to everybody who likes to study and also to celebrate in Spain.

Hello all! My name is Mathias, and the children in my Valencian family tell me that the «alias» for my name in Spanish is «aunt», as in the wife of a man, but I think that they are only kidding.I’m from Belgium, the small German-speaking part. What, say that again?!! German? No! I feel that i’m more Belgian. The problem is that Germany has lost all of its wars. The people at the school are friendly and always in a good mood. My family is great! She helps me with all of my problems and try to speak to me in Spanish as much as possible. Taronja School, I will see you later, next yea during my Erasmus year! See you soon!

Hello, Hello and Hello! I’m Fernando, although many people at the Spanish school call me Nando. This is a picture of me and my good friend Barry … I was born in Valencia and studied English and Italian Philology at University. Now I am one of the directores of TARONJA and I work mainly organizing weekly activities and international contacts for the Spanish school. Many times I’m traveling the world so that the foreign students get to know TARONJA, the coolest and most woderful Spanish school ever! The rest of the time I’m at school thinking about and planning lots of fun activities and specials so our students can have the best time of their life with us. I have many passions in my life: cooking, playing music, the mountains, organizing parties…by the way, I have a great friend named Chef Nando… 😉

I decided to study Spanish in Valencia to experience its famous culture, food, architecture and beautiful beaches. Taronja Spanish School is conveniently located in the city center and it offers many interesting options to complement the Spanish classes, as cooking, dancing…and my favorite, sailing!The sailing experience had been better than I had thought. The Spanish teachers and the staff are friendly and dedicated. Spanish classes have been instructive and fun with current issues and modern situations. I’m looking forward to return. I’m staying.

After two weeks at Taronja School, I can say that it was a good experience for me. I’ve met many international students and have established relationships with girls who are very nice. I loved that the school organised many activities like the party last Friday at the beach. I had a great time. Now I will tell you a little bit about myself. As I said, my name is Jessica and I am 22 years old. I’m from Fürth which is located in southern Germany near Nurember. It is very famous for its Christmas fair. My hobbies are traveling, meeting my friends, going to parties and playing tennis. I am currently working in a private clinic here in Valencia called Fivasa Clinic. I’m a girl and I work a lot at the recepion administrative. I love it. In relation to Valencia I don’t really have an opinion but I am very happy and I like the city and also the beach and buildings. Finall, i’d like to give my thanks for a very nice stay.

I’m Víctor, although my full name is Víctor Manuel, what a long name, right? Well, I’m just named like that because my parents liked the singer Víctor Manuel. What would have happened if I had been a girl? Well, my parents had a plan B, which was to name her like his wife Ana Belén, who is also a singer. My Spanish Philology studies ended in 2009 and since 2011 I work at Taronja School, so I’m the youngest professor at the Spanish school. I enjoy being a Spanish teacher because every day I learn new things and meet people with different nationalities. As for my hobbies, I like going to the cinema, the beach, soccer, and I am devoted to Deportivo Coruña (soccer team) thanks to Bebeto. And above all, I love Formula 1, I do never miss a race, at whatever time it is. The problem is that none of my colleagues understands F1 and so I can not share my impresiones with them, but I have hope that Carlos and Sergio may reconsider. A hug to all my colleagues and students!
