Tropical Coast Languages

TCL was a great place for an Intermediate level Spanish student like me. The class size was usually small although fluid based on different requirements for students. Many of the students are there for longer term studies, while I was there for 2 weeks. We dropped into future tense on my first day which was great and I think for some folks in the class it was review. I had two different teachers in my time at the school. They were both great/ fun and super supportive. They had slightly different styles, but both of them strongly encouraged speaking in class. We used a textbook which gave us some structure as well as homework opportunities. I enjoyed having class in the morning, then being able to take a break and return to my apartment to study and do homework. We had a school supplied apartment which was just a 2 minute walk to school. The apartment had two bedrooms and two baths which was good for myself and my friend. The apartment could definitely use some updates, but at the same time was very close to the center of town and easy to get to most things. Loved meeting the other students and it was so interesting to hear about their lives and why they were at the school. All in all, a great experience

The school had a very good atmosphere, they are very kind, helpfull and very positive and supporting.
I was enjoying a class with a nice group of people ( max. 10 ) , and the teacher Paula was amazing, She was a very good teacher!
And also the activities they organized were helpfull to feel comfortable with the Spanish language. I followed class twice a week in two months and learned to speak more Spanish.

the location is very nice. Nice neighbourhood, activities nice but few. The teacher was excellent, Espe.
The classes were not that good. a bit small without windows.

I was for 3 weeks in the scuol full time and i need 2 weeks to speak. Mas o menos
The guest house with Fatima was very good. I can recomand Fatima

All persons and teachers are very friendly and nice. The location in Almunecar is nice too.
The room nr. 3 is not my favourite space. There is no fresh air and it is stuffy.
Maybe we see us again next year.

Paula the best teacher there is!
Knows exactly what you want and what you need.
Explains is perfect.

Atmosphere in school is so nice with alle warm positive people

Just loved it

Super - very helpful staff and patient teachers

The facilities and the teachers were great - the schools location very nice and the general atmosphere at the school warm and welcoming. Liked that the school apart from teaching offered excursions

However the class i participated in became "bit of a mess". 2 days with only 4 students - then all of a sudden 7 German (very young ) students who should participate for 4 days - back to 3 students plus one new who only showed up for a day .- and the last 2 days back to the basic group

Our teacher handled it well - however I will not in future participate in classes but have booked some private lessons instead. More expensive but I bet more efficient

Difficult for a beginner, but during the course I understood Spanish better, the location in the center of Almuñécar was fantastic, but the locals were too small. The teacher was nice and she helped when I asked for it (when I did not understand it all). The walk through a part of Almuñécar was a nice initiative.

We would have liked to have lesson from 2 to 4 hours. When I heard it was possible, I was very happy. I didn't read the contract properly, 1 hour of school is actually 45 minutes. That was very unfortunate. We also learned during the third day that the following Monday and Wednesday were Spanish holidays and that the school would be closed. At that time our contract was very important, because we had bought 20 lessons. Felipe, the principal of the school solved 'the problem' by giving us extra lessons for the last two days. Our teacher was very nice and we have learned a lot of her; her name is Maria.

The classrooms were very small, I was glad we were three people. This of course because of the corona pandemic. We had an excursion: 'Malaga Iluminada'. This was really great! During this activity, we spoke to some students who were at school in the morning. My girlfriend, who is staying in Spain for two months, asked Felipe after 'our' two weeks, if she could go to school longer. At the moment she is still in the study benches. If it is possible through you, I would like to thank the people of the school again. ( ***Did you extend your course at the school and study for more than 2 weeks - my friend did)

Classes : inspiring,good mix with language, grammar and knowledge about Spain. Teachers: experienced good quality in the training of grammar. Location : In Almunecar perfect. Good facilities. Housing in an apartment without internet. Good location of the apartment in an area with supermarkets and close to the beach.
