朝9時から14時までレッスンした後でアルハンブラ宮殿やアルバイシン地区を観光し、勉強に遊びにめいっぱいのプログラムです。ホストファミリーになってくれたJosé先生の授業は非常に分かりやすく、曖昧模糊としていた知識がクリアになり、たった5日間でしたがかなり内容でした。学校は初日だけで個人レッスンだったのでグループレッスンのことはわからないですが、学校全体からアットホームな雰囲気が伝わってきました。滞在した先生のお宅では、奥様と2人の小さいお子さんがいらっしゃいますが、とても温かい雰囲気で迎え入れてもらったので非常にリラックスしました。食事もすべておいしかったし、滞在した部屋は別棟の個室なのでプライバシーも確保されています。お家からの景色も最高です。絶景を眺めながらのお勉強はとてもおすすめです。

Spanish lessons were always really interesting, we had some grammar exercises everyday but what I liked most was that there was a strong emphasize on the speaking part. I really liked all of the teachers that I had classes with!. They used all kind of different activites to keep us active with a lot of games for speaking spanish which was really great because it get you so enagaged into game that you don't realize when you speak spanish! Hahaha :) Also all of the classes were in spanish, which might sounds scary for some people but actually it's the best way of learning so don't be afraid! Teachers know how to explain everything with a little bit of acting if needed ;)

If you want not only learn spanish but also have a nice time after classes escuela montalban is a perfect choice. Every week they organize a lot of cultural activities, you can go to cinema, see flamenco show, go to the beach.

I would highly recommend going for tapas tour with Marisa which is usually happening on every monday evevning! She is one of the teachers and she knows all the best places in Granada to go for tapas and delicious tinto de verano! :) It is a great way of getting to know other students just at the beginning of your stay and practising spanish! And usually most of the students participate in this activity - it's completelly free! You just pay for the drinks you order - which is around 2 euros per drink (+ free tapa)!

Well and Granada! Another great thing about escuela montalban is that it's located in Granada, one of the most charming cities in Spain! Really, I was in few places in Spain but Granada made such a strong impression on me. Beautiful streets, Albaicin, Sacromonte, Alhambra - ach so many beautiful places! Also Granada is not so big, so you can just walk almost everywhere and don't be afraid to be lost! :) Och - just don't forget to book ticket for Alhambra in advance - because they tend to sold out pretty quickly!
