I liked the equilibrium between visual, auditional examples and excercises in speaking. Mario is a nice and serious guy and he takes his time for his students. And I really liked the cooking class with José Ignacio, that was really a party. 🙂
Muchas gracias a todos en Spark! Me han gustado mucho las clases y ha aprendido mucho aquí en la escuela. Muchas gracias también por ser tan flexible con Torsten y mí. No pensaba que era posible hacer el curso con los niños, pero vosotros sois tan flexible! Muchas gracias!
Mario was fantastic as always! 🙂
Our lessons were very varied and pleasant. Our teacher Mario was excellent, a real “hit”! I am very pleased with the course and the people who worked at Spark. Everything was well organized!
I think the tutor, Mario is excellent and that all of the facilities, staff and materials are very good or excellent.
I’ve enjoyed my week at Spark and I am planning to return next year for a few weeks and to stay as a Spark resident. I am more fluent and confident using my limited Spanish, I feel that the course level was right for me and that it stretched me; I feel that I have made good progress this week. 🙂
Our teacher was always very good prepared for the lessons. Using many different ways of teaching
have been very helpful!
Mario era un profesor muy divertido. También las clases eran muy bien con lecciones variadas, por ejemplo juegos, escribir anuncios, escuchar música etc. The location of Spark is really nice, it´s close to everything! And all people who worked at Spark were very nice. I loved it, everything! Perhaps I will come back. 🙂
I can´t mark just two best things about my stay at Spark. I´m very satisfied with lots of aspects!
