Fabianas questionnaire

1. My first impression of Uruguay was of an country that couldn´t keep up with the development and, because of that, many of the neighborhoods are old and sometimes deteriorating. But people there are really friendly and helpful, so it evens up everything :)


2. I really like Montevideo city, its a big city but safer than São Paulo -Brasil, for example. I just don´t like the way most all of the old buildings look, and there are really nice houses that should be recovered before they actually deteriorate. But again. it happens in all big cities.


3. Method: Bien / Teaching Materials: Bien / Conversation Classes: Bien / Homework: Bien / Teachers: Muy Bien (But Cristina should give grammar classes instead of conversation classes).


4. What I like most about the school is that you always try to do everything that is possible to make us confortable and adjust everything to our needs. Also, is great to have diferent teachers so we can get in touch with diferente ways os teaching and accents as well.


5. There isnt anything that I didnt really like about the school.


7. The school is well located, have everything that is needed for a good living but the noise of the running water, specially in the room 1, is terrible. :(

Feedback of one of our students

First of all, I would like to thank you very much, I really enjoyed my time at school and could learn at least a little bit of Spanish. I hope to continue in USA and if I ever know anyone coming to Uruguay to learn the language I will definitely recommend this school. My experience was very good and I appreciate the effort of you, your daughters and all the teachers.


All the best and hope to see you in the future again.


We appreciate every feedback of our students

The feedback of our students is very important for us as we want to improve constantly in order to provide them a pleasant stay at the school and excellent classes. Therefore all students receive a questionnaire about their experiences at our school together with the certificate at the end of their courses. And we also ask them to tell us immediately in case they should be not satisfied with anything.
On this page we would like to share some of the feedbacks of our students with you and show you the questionnaire.

Guided tour through the museum of decorative arts

Last thursday we enjoyed a guided tour through the museum of decorative arts, a beautiful building in the old center of Montevideo. Designed by french architects in the beginning of the 20th century, the building is also known as „Palacio Taranco“ named after its owners, the Ortiz de Taranco family. Today it hosts the wonderful original interior of the family residence, mostly imported from France, alongside a collection of antique ceramics from the mediterranean region. We had the pleasure to get a lot of interesting informations about the history of the house and the exhibited pieces which was also a perfect way to practice the comprehension of spoken Spanish.
