Studying Spanish in Spain

Teachers at K2 all have neutral accents - I took a course there and it was fantastic - very personalized service. Cadiz is very safe. The seedy look comes from the weathered buildings which give it lots of atmosphere IMHO. Gaditano is just Castellano pronounced with heart :) No, I haven´t come up with that myself....

Navajo's a "local" who knows her stuff - I'd go with that one

I know Cadiz pretty well and I happen to know that school.The school is family run, by two sisters, good atmosphere.
Estudia Espana might have a discount on that school too - worth checking.

Cadiz is big enough to give some nightlife and small enough not to tire you out like big cities do. The food is fantastic, too. If you decide on Cadiz you can PM me for more info.

My first post on this forum!

I thoroughly recommend Granada. A small, but varied city. Old and new, vibrant yet peaceful. The Alhambra. Barrios of Albycin, Sacaramonte, Realejo, more...more...more. The snow capped Sierra Nevada. Beach a short coach ride away. A city with a population of just 250,000 (of which 60,000 are students) it feels more like Five or, Six very different towns clumped together.

The large student population means a) plenty of quality language schools and, b) a very lively and international social scene. Great clubs as well as the tourist tapas bars and shows. Very cultural city with plenty of free entertainment. It really does have everything. You can easily avoid picking-up the local accent as you learn Spanish.

And, it is cheap! Rooms in shared houses available from €80/month. For a more central and comfortable room you're looking at €130/month. Single bed flats from €240/month. Drink with free tapas (a Granada policy) from €1.40 - €2.40.

You would be foolish to learn Spanish anywhere else ;)

Sevilla or Granada... would be your best bet. I lived in Sevilla for 2 years and I am not a big city person but loved it there. it is a quaint city. I loved it

Hello Sussie,
I'm planning to study spanish in Spain for a month this June with my husband and I'd like to know more about your experience. Where did you end up going?
I'm thinking about going to Valencia and attend the Don Quijote course.
I look forward to hearing back from you or anyone else that have studied spanish in Spain!

Thanks,
Lea

Lea, I think you can assume that the original poster has now abandoned this thread if you look at the dates. I sggest that you start a new thread with an appropriate title, including the name Don Quijote.
