  I arrived very enthusiastic about the idea of learning a language I always wanted to discover in a city like Salamanca: culture, history and beauty are the elements I found in this town. I chose Salamanca for its history of student town, and its elegant cathedral. I haven’t been disappointed: the classes were good and some teachers very competent. My overall experience was good though because the students sharing my class were great and talkative. don Quijote has many assets which make of it a very good school: very friendly and available teachers, good locations, serious classes and the books are given, this is great!

  The teachers are mostly young and fun. That really helped relate to the new culture we were facing since they were speaking Spanish but spoke “our language”. The school offered good service and seemed really like a Babel tower since there were people from Latin America, Europe, Asia, and North America all in my own class. I still want to go back and get to know the rest of Spain. There’s nothing compared to spending time in a country where the language spoken is the one you’re trying to learn. It’s the fastest and most accurate way of learning!

  At my age, I was apprehensive about going to school in a foreign country. It was like going to college again and leaving home for the first time. I was also concerned about living with a family. What a surprise it was. It was something I will never forget. I fell in love with my Spanish family and I miss the closeness that they showed me. I also loved my two classes. Yoland, Ana and Agustin were excellent teachers. They had the ability to answer any questions we had about Spanish life with so much information and humor. I learned enough to be able to speak with the confidence that I never had before. I loved Salamanca and I applaud don Quijote.

  The teachers at don Quijote are very good. I was placed in level C1 and felt that I was in the right class for my level of knowledge. We were five people from four different nationalities. I like meeting people from other cultures and enjoyed the class. I especially enjoyed the voluntary classes each evening and recommend that all students take part in them; they are of interest and fun. I would recommend don Quijote because they deliver as they promise, and because there are dQ schools in different places both in Spain and Latin America.

  My experience with the school was excellent right from my first contact. I had never been overseas before so was very nervous. The information I received from the school was first class and did much to put me at ease. All my questions about the schools, courses, accommodation and cities were answered promptly and thoroughly. I found the teachers at the school to be fantastic. They were extremely patient, friendly and very helpful. They clearly believed in and enjoyed what they were teaching. The administration team was also very helpful, patient and friendly and the excursions and extra classes were well organised and conducted by knowledgeable, friendly guides.

  My experience in Salamanca and with don Quijote was outstanding and I would recommend it to anyone. I am an older student (38 at the time) and it was wonderful for me. Don Quijote makes young and old welcome. Thank you for this wonderful experience and I hope to return one day.

  It was such a great experience learning Spanish with don Quijote in Valencia and I can really say I had the time of my life. I stayed with other students in a student flat and I was always given all the help I needed. I also participated in cultural classes, and it was Las Fallas week which gave us a great insight into the whole tradition of the festival and I really enjoyed it. I will definitely do another course with don Quijote, but I would like to experience a different town, maybe Granada since I have also heard great comments about it.

  Quiero agradecer a don Quijote la calidad de los professores que encontré en mis clases. Todos ellos, sin excepción, demostraron tener una excelente formación y pleno dominio de la gramática española. Además, saben trasmitir a sus alumnos buen humor y mucho respeto en las clases. Siempre estaré agradecido a don Quijote y a la casualidad de la vida por haberles conocido.¡Gracias!

  Salamanca was great and the school very good. I have already recommended it to some friends. I have learnt a lot in my class (profesores Salva and Pedro) and we laughed a lot too. My next stays will be in Quito and Cuenca, during my travels through Ecuador this November. Qué linda la vida de una jubilada! Many thanks again for your assistance highly appreciated. That´s another strong point of Don Quijote: a very good organization!

  Participé en el curso de vinos de Salamanca. El curso fue una estupenda oportunidad para descubrir un poco más el arte de vivir en España y para practicar español en torno al tema de los vinos. Quiero dar las gracias a mi profesora que supo transmitir todo su conocimiento y dinamismo a la clase.

  I first heard about don Quijote from a friend. I decided to study in Tenerife and I had the best time of my life! I met friends for life and people from all over the world. The school is great with a cosy environment and the best teachers I ever had. When I got home from Tenerife after three months I missed it so much I decided to go back for six more weeks. If you have doubts, don’t think twice, just do it!

  I´ve spent one month in Madrid and another month in Barcelona. I´d like to say that I had a great time at don Quijote in both cities. The teachers and the way of teaching are very efficient. Besides that, the infrastructure of the school is amazing. Thanks for providing me an outstanding stay in Spain!

  A friend of mine, who has been a regular student of don Quijote, informed me about the school two years ago and I am very happy she did! As a language teacher myself I admire the abilities my teachers had, the classes were never boring. I will continue with don Quijote next year, either in Salamanca again or perhaps in Valencia, to explore Spain a little bit more.

  I spent two wonderful weeks at don Quijote Salamanca. The classes where small and fun. My teachers were great and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed teaching. Salamanca is a great city to practice your Spanish, I don´t think I have ever spoke so much Spanish in my life. I have also made friends from all over the world. I will never forget this experience!!

  I completed the Internship programme and I had the most delightful and fulfilling experience of my life. I spent 6 fantastic weeks improving and polishing my Spanish in the unique international atmoshere of the school, teachers were brilliant, I was feeling like home and made a lot of friends. I also spent 12 remarkable weeks working for a Spanish company in Barcelona which was carefully selected by the school and suited to my skills and desire to apply my professional background in a challenging new environment.

  I have had a great time at the don Quijote school in Mexico. The classes are fun! I have learnt more than I could have imagined in such a short time. My host family have been great.

  My experience with don Quijote has been nothing but positive. The teachers are very patience and knowledgeable in teaching the Spanish language. I liked it so much I wanted to add more time so I could continue to learn. I feel I really know a lot and am able to apply my knowledge of the language into a conversation.

  Vine a don Quijote con un nivel básico de español. Durante los 5 meses aquí he aprendido mucho y ahora tengo mucha más confianza con la lengua. En 5 meses he tenido varios profesores y todos eran simpáticos, pacientes y siempre estaban de buen humor. Por eso, había un buen ambiente en las clases. La preparación para el DELE fue muy intensiva y parecía que los profesores tenían interés en que aprobara el examen.

  Vine aquí a aprender español, pero también a tomar un descanso de trabajo, y experimentar la vida española. He disfrutado verdaderamente mis clases a don quijote. Los grupos son pequeños (menos de 8 estudiantes) y los profesores son entusiastas y apasionados. El ambiente es relajado, y hay mucho tiempo para diversión y conversación. Sin embargo, las lecciones estan bien planeadas y cubren toda la gramatica y pronunciación.

  The true soul of Spain is not in the classroom but on the streets and in the cafes and bars. don Quijote served as a touchstone, giving me the language practice and cultural background and confidence necessary to go back en la calle and experience the real Spain. I hope to repeat the experience in the future.

  With able and intelligent instructors, don Quijote puts its students at ease in the classrooms, thereby facilitating the language learning process. Moreover, the international student body increases cultural understanding and allows students to discover more about Spain and other countries, as well.

  I had a wonderful time in Salamanca last year - 6 weeks of concentrated "topping up the metaphorical tanks" with very pleasurable, rewarding and fulfilling activities all in the most friendly atmosphere. I was very lucky with the groups of students I was placed with and felt that my tutors fully respected my needs and abilities. I stayed with a very friendly family, which added a further dimension to the stay, and was able to ferret out all sorts of cultural activities.
