Program Reviews

My experience in Málaga was incredible, when I came here I knew this city would be an adventure. If I have to tell something about my family I have just one thing: marvelous. Now I consider my host mom as my second mom because she was always there when I needed her and we had a really good time with her daughter and her grandaughter.
About the school, the ambience is really good the staff is helping when you need it, in class the teacher is always trying to do the best for us, I mean we learn playing games or something like that. So, for the people who have a problems with concentration in class it's a good solution to enjoy and learn at school.

Overall I´ve had a great experience. I have learnt alot and I would defenetly recomend this program to anyone who wants to learn a new languange or improve their skills in a language they already know. I think the school is really nice, its located in a nice area and its easy to get to the city centre. The teachers are really nice and helpful. I stayed in a host family, and it was a really good experience for me.

I came to Malaga in december and at first I didn't know what to expect and how my experience was going to be... immidiatly I met people (from all ower the world) that make me feel comfortable, those people are now my friends. I have learned a new lenguage and also I can say that I know a new culture, "spanish culture" which has different food, different values and different approaches with different people.
In malaga I also met the best teachers in all over the world (Dori and Carmen ) full of energy and charm, that always helped the students, moreover I enjoy the weather which is really good in Malaga .

I would advise everyone to go study abroad. Not only did I developed my language skills, I also developed a lot personally.
My Spanish skills have improved so much within such a short period of time. When I arrived I didn’t speak any Spanish anda after studying nine months abroad, I have the level of upper intermediate. I believe that there is no other way to become fluent in a language than to go abroad and ‘live the language’.

EF Málaga is a beautiful school, located close to the beach. During your daily life, you’ll be surrounded among local people, which is great for your cultural experience and language improvement.
The classes are very well organised, the staff is friendly and the school organises interesting activities and trips.

I would highly recommend EF Málaga, I’ve had the time of my life there!

I loved my experience in Málaga and I have fallen in love with the city. The teachers are amazing. One of the things that surprised me the most, is the close relation between the students and the teachers. Besides from this, it’s an amazing experience and I would recommend everyone who is able to,to make this decision. The school is located in the most relaxed neighbourhood of Málaga and close to the beach. I have learned so much about myself and have made the coolest friends but apart from all that, I speak a new language.

EF Málaga is a perfect place to learn spanish and to make memories that you will never forget. The school is in a cozy neighbourhood where the people are friendly and you can find shops and restaurants very close by. One of the best things is of course the beach that is only five minutes away by foot, and there is always life by the beach.

The course is really good and you really learn a lot of the language in a short time. The progression is very noticeable and that is very motivating for me and that makes me work hard.

The social part of the program is of course very important, and you will make friends that you will never forget! There are also a lot of fun activities to do here, and I really recommend travelling around to nearby cities and places, there is so much to see!

My experience in EF Malaga was amazing. My mother española is a lovely lady, whom I now love very much. Some things I really liked was the simple life. But I did not like the siestas. That was really annoying. I also liked the trips to other cities and villages in Spain, like Sevilla, Valencia, The smurf town, Nerja, Benalmadena, Fuengirola, Torremolinos, and the trip to Marocco. Also the christmas lights was really amazing and a cool experience.

My academic year abroad with EF Málaga have been amazing. I have gone from just knowing a few words in spanish to being able to understand and talk with locals without any problem. I have made friends all over the world, which I'm sure I'll keep for life. You get really close with the people and friends here, as you live together and hang out all the time, both in school and in the free time. Also, living in Málaga while studying makes you "live the culture" and you learn a lot of new things that at least for me was new. It's very possible that the culture in your own country and the culture in Spain is different, so it's a change suddenly living there, but a positive change. I really liked that the staff in the school treat you like family, the bond in the classes are really strong, the teachers are really flexible and in the end you have a feeling of a second family in Spain. I recommend it strongly!

It was an amazing experience. I learned a lot about the culture of Spain, other cultures, other people and about myself. I made so many nice friends from all over the world, for example from Norway, Italy, Belgium, the US, France and of course from the Netherlands. I am sure that i will keep in touch with all of them and that they will be friends for life. The school is a really nice place, a beautiful building filled with nice people. The teachers and the staff are always ready to help you with no matter what.

I was very fortunate to enroll in this well organized and enjoyable Japanese language program. The staff is very professional, competent and caring. The classes are in Japanese - even for beginners, but the teachers are supportive and skilled in communicating with beginners as well as the more fluent students. In addition to traditional language instruction, the program utilizes activities and games as well as multi-media tools which make the learning experience stimulating and enjoyable. I lived in the suburbs with a lovely Japanese lady who was a tremendous cook and I looked forward to my evening meal every day. Although she didn't speak a lot of English, we were able to communicate and I enjoyed feeling a part of her household.
