This is probably the best place to learn Spanish in Valencia. I’ve spent 2 weeks there and now I can actually understand people talking to me and even respond in a way that makes sense! Thanks for the great time y recuerdos a todos los maestros!
Noë Beril
I spent almost 4 months in Españolé with just incredible teachers of extraordinary kindness and support, which allowed me to reach level B2 to enter a university in Spain!! I am thinking particularly of MARIA JOSE, LETICIA, PILAR, JAVIER and many others who are just golden people, thank you again if you read this message. I had a great time in this beautiful city of Valencia! The school is just beautiful, so there is a great environment to learn. In addition, the staff is great, and does not hesitate to help students in their external procedures. I am thinking particularly of CONI, who helped me a lot and defended me in a somewhat complicated moment. In addition, the school is adapting superbly well to the health crisis by finding very professional solutions. Thanks again for everything !

Good location, beautiful school, the best people, beautiful city! The best conditions to learn Spanish. I can only recommend it. 😎🇪🇸

I studied at Espanole International House for about half a year. I had been studying Spanish for two years at university, so I thought I would be fine. However, the level was higher than I expected and I could barely catch up with each day of preparation and revision. But thanks to the kind and enthusiastic teacher, my Spanish skills have steadily improved! All my friends at school are so nice and kind that we went out to eat together after school and partied on weekends! Every Monday there was an exchange between Japanese and Spanish, so I was able to use a lot of Spanish. The food was delicious, the people were friendly and Valencia was a very good city! I definitely want to come back! !!

International House Valencia is the place where people from all over the world meet and pursue a goal: to learn Spanish. I spent eight weeks in this school and it was probably the best school time of my life.
Patricia Batová
Thanks to International House, I broke my fear of speaking Spanish, met a lot of amazing people, a beautiful city and a home culture. I visited the school for the first time in 2012 and it was immediately clear to me that I was not there for the last time. The time I spent in Valencia far exceeded my expectations and I recommend anyone considering this option not to hesitate.

Kisses from Australia XXX Hi, guys! My name is Bob, I am a Capricorn. I miss you so much! I want to go back to Spain very soon, but Valencia is a long way from Australia. Besides, I haven't won the lottery yet. Nobody here speaks Spanish, so I have already forgotten a lot. I think I need to enrol in school again. I'm looking forward to it! My nieces love to dance in the flamenco dresses, they look beautiful! The teachers at IH Valencia are the best in the world!!! I will never forget!
Simone Schmatz
Hello! My name is Simone and I am German. I was in school for almost 3 months. It was a very good time for me. I liked the school very much and the teachers are very nice. The classes were fun and I learned a lot. My level of Spanish has improved a lot. Also, whenever I had a question or a problem, someone always helped me. I have never been bored because they offer a lot of activities.
Benedetto D’Alfonso
The school is wonderful. Everyone works and they are always smiling. The organisation is excellent, the support is completely individualised. The attention you receive, the immediate problem solving, the happy atmosphere and the wide variety of activities on offer make you want to come back to repeat the experience. Thank you all for making me feel like family!
