It's a great institute to learn Spanish, with a very friendly environment. I will be joining the classes again in a couple of months. However, for beginners, the speed needs to be slowed down slightly through more classroom practise and speaking.

¡Hola, Divya! Thank you so much for your kind words about our school and environment — we’re really happy to hear you felt comfortable with us, and we’re excited to know you’re planning to join again in a couple of months :)
We also truly appreciate your feedback about the pace for beginners. In our Evening beginner groups, the rhythm is usually quite gradual, especially during the first weeks, as new students can join and we regularly review previous content to help everyone feel confident. It’s possible that you joined a group that had already been running for a little while, which may have made the pace feel faster than usual.
That said, we always want our students to feel supported. If we had known during the course that you felt the speed was a bit fast, we could have provided extra review materials or followed up more closely to make sure you felt fully comfortable with the content. Please don’t hesitate to let us know next time — we’re always happy to help and adapt wherever possible.
We’re really looking forward to welcoming you back soon and continuing your Spanish journey with us! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!

I didn’t receive my book in the first week. We got in week one a teacher who wasn’t good at all. After that the teacher was better

¡Hola, Jeroen! We’re sorry to hear that your first week did not meet your expectations.
As explained, unfortunately, due to international shipping from Spain, there was a temporary delay in our stock. However, the books were provided as soon as they arrived.
We also made the necessary changes regarding the teacher to improve the learning experience, and we’re glad to hear that it worked better.
We appreciate your understanding and thank you for helping us improve.

¡Hola, Andrej! Thank you so much for your feedback! :) We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed Yanina’s classes — her clear explanations, patience, and passion for teaching truly make a difference, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to her.
Thanks again for the recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you back again in the future! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!
There are other places that will fight 4 yr business
I contacted them to learn what kinds of lessons they offer for advanced Spanish speakers. I received a very basic email. I had to write again to Maryana to get a clearer understanding. Again she answered a basic answer. That's when she probably decided she is not going to invest in me anymore and did not address the issue I was concerned about. I guess this was too much for Maryana and she opens the emails but no longer answers them. You dont get to ask questions there and you certainly dont get direct answers.

¡Hola, Karen! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear that your inquiry left you feeling unheard and frustrated.
We’d like to clarify that at the time of your messages, Maryna was on holiday. Normally, inquiries are reassigned to another advisor when someone is out of the office, but unfortunately, in this case, your follow-up message was mistakenly lost in our inbox. This is not the level of communication we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused.
We absolutely welcome questions—especially from advanced Spanish speakers looking for the right fit—and we regret that we didn’t give you the clear, detailed answers you were seeking at the time. Your feedback is important to us and helps us improve our internal processes to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
If you would consider giving us another opportunity in the future, we would be truly happy to welcome you and show you the high standard of teaching and care that defines our school. We’d love the chance to provide you with the experience you initially expected. Un abrazo.
I’ve been here many times
I’ve been here many times, and this time was a bit better than usual — mainly thanks to the teacher, who was very nice and engaging.
However, I still don’t like the system. You never really finish a topic until you’ve truly understood and can use it; instead, they rush through the book from chapter to chapter, no matter if students follow or not.
The facilities and location of the school are great — definitely an upgrade.
Still, I feel very anonymous here; nobody really looks after your individual needs.
In my opinion, this school is perfect for young people who want to have fun and meet others. But the 30+ classes feel a bit out of place. Altogether, it’s a good school for young students, but for those over 30, other places might be more suitable.

Great school for both short and long visits to Madrid
I would definitely recommend Expanish for improving or learning Spanish. I had an amazing few months in Madrid and really don't feel like I could've picked a better school for my stay. Expanish really focus on the students and their well being, by offering immersive classes, invested teacher and fun activities outside of school. I really looked forward to going to school every day I stayed in Madrid.
My favorite part of Expanish was the teachers. They're really focused on improving your Spanish and put together classes to help their students understand, not just rehearse. The teachers were also very invested in their students improvements, and really worked hard to ensure that every student was at a good level in their learning.
Another great thing about Expanish was that the location and school premises was top quality. The school is fresh and modern and the location is super central and very easy to commute to.
All in all I could not recommend Expanish more if you're considering learning Spanish in Madrid. Im eternally grateful for all the memories and experiences I had in Madrid, many thanks to Expanish.

The teachers are nice but it was the only positive side of the school. The activities were always the same. Each week, the activities were repeating. I think there should be more activities that bring people together.
