Learn Spanish in Valencia, Spain

Valencia is a sun-kissed destination on the eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain and a very popular destination for learning Spanish. Besides the beach and the sea, Valencia and its environs offer countless sights, exciting attractions, large sport events, culinary delights and much more. One of the best arguments for choosing Valencia for studying Spanish is, of course, its outstanding climate: 300 days of sunshine every year with the Mediterranean beckoning you to dive right in between April and mid-October.

…

In the old part of town you can see and feel Valencia's Arabic past as you wander blissfully through the narrow streets on your way to the 750-year-old cathedral or the glorious buildings from the Gothic and Art Nouveau eras. One of the largest and most recent of Valencia's attractions is the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of Arts and Sciences), a modern city standing on the dry riverbed of the river Turia. You'll be fascinated by the sights and views of Valencia!

If you like sport, you can enjoy the America's Cup and annual Formula 1 race in Valencia. The culinary delights of Valencia include the traditional paella dish, which tastes better in Valencia than anywhere else in the world. They also know how to party in Valencia and don’t take life too seriously. Each March sees the spring celebration of the Fallas where larger-than-life colourful papier-mâché figures are erected and then set ablaze on the last day of the celebration. The last weekend in August sees Valencia's streets transformed into a river of tomato sauce during the Tomatina, a world-famous tomato fight dating back to the 1940's.

Discover Valencia, learn Spanish and catch the sunny spirit and joie-de-vivre of Valencia's people!

Diana P.

"My name is Diana, I’m 24 and I am Russian. I study Spanish in order to communicate with my family and because the language is very nice. I really like Valencia. Great city, nice people, very hot weather. Studying at the language school in Valencia is a lot of fun. The activities of the Spanish school are very amusing. Studying Spanish in Valencia is very interesting. The good atmosphere, the teachers are professionals and the interior decoration of the Spanish schools is very nice. Many new friends and awesome memories."

Nicole C.

"Hello! If you want to study Spanish come to Valencia! It has many advantages. It’s in Valencia, beautiful city with diverse architecture from Roman times up to today. You will find places for every desire. Museums, gardens and parks. But most important is the school team that cares about you, answers all questions and organizes various activities. The Spanish teachers are all very nice and teach grammar via different topics so you never get bored! Nobody kills you if you make a mistake! For me “super”! You’re running into Spanish students from countries all around the world. Accommodation: I was lucky: my host took care of me like I was a baby. All this accompanied by the sun (normally!). In addition, a 20 minute bus or subway ride and you are at the beach… ¡Viva Valencia!"

Patricia C.

"Hello! My name is Patricia. I’m from Paris in France. I just spent two weeks in Valencia, a very pleasant stay, both at the Spanish school and also with my host family. I liked this city especially for the beauty of its architecture from different epochs. I was here with four friends. We also took advantage of our time here to visit Xátiva and its castle. We spent a great day there, a beautiful place. Last Sunday we spent the day on the beach and ate a very delicious paella. The extracurricular activities (especially the paella with seafood and the tapas tour) were a lot of fun. I have improved my Spanish thanks to our teachers and the exchanges with my hosts. I also liked a lot to meet students from other nationalities. Thanks to the school, Vincent and Monte for this unique experience. One day I will return to Valencia…"

Marie H.-P.

"Desires are rarely satisfied fully, but this time they were fulfilled during my stay at Valencia. The care and the kindness that had been provided for me, made my stay unbelievably enjoyable. Thanks to the teachers, for their patience, their diversified and intelligent classes and in future it surely won’t happen that I don’t know anything to say in Spanish. I return to France feeling safer and more comfortable speaking Spanish, I also think that chocolate, ‘Water of Valencia’ and Paella had helped me a lot. For all that I have improved my Spanish without tremendous effort. Goodbye everybody!"

Anna S.

"I was in Valencia for four weeks and I had the opportunity to visit many sights, meet new friends and celebrate many parties. Valencia is a good choice for vacations, because it is very diverse.

I’ve been with a family (mother & son). My mother is a very friendly and outgoing person and I could talk to her about everything and I understood her very well. She always tried to explain Spanish customs and helped me understand and learn new words etc.

Above that she is also a good cook. About the Spanish school: For me it was important that we talk a lot in Spanish in the Spanish classes in order to practice conversations. At first we studied grammar, which I had learned before, but it was a good repetition. And yes, the parties were so much fun!

Thanks for everything."

Jonas T.

"Hello! My name is Jonas and I’m from Switzerland. I spent the last three weeks at the Spanish school in Valencia. It was an awesome time! The Spanish teachers are very nice and the Spanish classes are a lot of fun. I have learned a lot. In addition, there were activities or trips almost every day. I went to the Paella party three times and enjoyed it every time. The school does its best to combine Spanish classes and parties. Viva the Spanish way of living!"

Claudia T.

"Hi all! I would like to thank my Spanish teachers at the language school for their very interesting and lively classes, and the entire school team (especially Marta for her availability and support) who has organized extracurricular activities that were fun and varied: the welcoming paella, the guided tour through the city center of Valencia, the tapas tour (very nice!), the Seafood Fair and also the Flamenco show in the “Café del Duende” (great for me because I dance flamenco). All these activities have allowed us to meet some Spanish students from other countries and share our impressions in the Spanish language. Thank you very much, really, for everything and everyone."

Sophia P.

"Hello! My name is Sophia, I am 18 years and I am a student in Valencia. I’m from Germany and I’m going to study art and Spanish at a German university next month. I decided to study Spanish in Valencia because it is a very very nice city. I especially like the ‘city of arts and sciences’. Besides that the classes at the language school are interesting and the Spanish teachers are very good and very funny. Thank you for three wonderful weeks!"

Nicola E.

"Hello! My name is Nicola, I’m German. I’m 18 years old and I’m studying Spanish since three weeks here at Valencia. The Spanish school is very nice and is in the city center of Valencia. The Spanish teachers are all very young, friendly and fun. You get to know many nice people, for example in class with people from all around the world. Above that I loved the fun activities. Valencia is in every case magnificent because it is a very diverse and wonderful city."

Paulo F.

"Hola, I’m Paulo and I am from Italy. What I can say about the language school in Valencia? Incredible! Crazy and very nice! There are many things that all together create an unforgettable experience. Like what? Tapas, fun, party, Valencian coffee with ice cubes, ice cream in the afternoon, Sangria, Spanish teachers, Paella, Flamenco, Tortillas, the bulls, football games, people, the noise of the students, people from Korea, Japan, Italy, Germany, Australia, France, the stores that open up at 10, dinner at 11 at night, the owner, Chef Nando, the friends.

Apartment

The shared apartments in Valencia are the perfect type of accommodation if you want to enjoy as much independence as possible during your language course and also want to live in an international environment.

…

The apartments are about 10 to 25 minutes on foot from the school, or if they are further away they have an underground station or bus stop giving you easy access to the language school. Students live in single rooms and people travelling together can book a double room. All the apartments have a kitchen, a living room with TV, and a bathroom for common use. Bed linen is provided and changed weekly. Towels are not provided. The apartment is cleaned once a week. There is also a washing machine available in each apartment that can be used by each resident twice a week.

Those that are located further are always near an underground station or a bus stop so that you can easily get to the school. Students stay in single rooms, people travelling together can also opt for a double room. Bed linen and towels are provided and changed weekly. The rooms are cleaned once a week and the laundry can be washed weekly.
