In ancient Greek language, it is believed that the language was a gift from the Gods.  People of Greek culture felt a sacred connection in understanding and learning the Greek language. At iNMSOL people are able to relate to teachers with similar respect of the Grecian gods.  When in Granada, my experience was similar. As the language of Spanish unfolded, it was a melody of Orfeas.  Ofrea, a Greek God of Sleep would play the flute for people who needed to relax.  My experience, it is similar because while at iNMSOL I was able to travel within the Spanish culture and history with tranquility.

The first thing I have to say is that the staff at iNMSOL is some of the friendliest people I have ever met. They will help you with whatever difficulties or problems you may have. Moreover, if you choose to join some of the trips they arrange, they have knowledge of mostly whatever you need to know. When it comes to Granada for example, they have knowledge both on subjects which tourists need to know, like the history of Alhambra or Garcia Lorca, but also on the funfacts, like who is the creator of the many awesome graphities in the city, where to go for the best tapas, the best flamenco-shows and much more. The staff have been wonderful in giving tips for how to enjoy this fantastic city even more. When it comes to the learning I don't have much to say other than I can assure you that you will learn spanish. The more important thing is what you get for 'free'. You get to know other people from all around the world, you get some free lectures about where the cheapest beer is sold, what cities to visit, and in general tips that make your life a whole lot easier. If you choose to live with a family during the stay(which I think is a great opportunity) you get to see (and experience) how the locals does it. Spanish food, every day? Yes please. Also, if you are staying here for a long time, it is nice to have an acommodation while searching for your own place to stay. If you want much value for your money and have a really  nice time, I think iNMSOL is a really good alternative, and I don't think you'll regret it if you choose to go there.

I went Granada for 5-6 time via iNMSOL. I think they are  very professional. I found iNMSOL through the website of  Cervantes and lots of  times I've been in Granada via iNMSOL. For the next times lots of my friends went  to Granada and they liked very much both of them iNMSOL and  Granada. Especially  in summer season the school is mostly very crowded and the age range differs  from... But everytime I found a friend at my age and I had  lots of friends and  we still see each other for years.. For the first 2 visits  I 've stayed with a  spanish family and I liked them. The family was very warm,  the cooks are  fantastic and the house was very clear. And also stil communicating with them. For the other visits I've stayed in a flat with students and they were great  too. We were getting on well, at nights we went out  together, we had traveled together and seeing each other too. The school is doing a leveling exam to define your language  level and they put you a convenient class based on that exam. If the students' age is very small, they put them within a separate class with their own  teachers. Every day of the week they arrange another activity. City  trips, tapas route, cinema day, musical activity, history of spain etc. The teachers are fantastic and they are very good at communicating. And the activities are made by the teachers. These activities are  free. I’ve joined every one when I was able to and don’t miss them. In the weekend Saturday and Sunday they have trips to another cities. Sevilla, Cordoba, Costa Tropical, Alpujarras, Cadiz, even Morocco. These are with fee.But cheaper than the other tours.The guides graduated from Historical sciences and they...

I was in Granada for about 10 days. I can tell you that it was really good experience. I wish I had been able to stay there much longer. Being in Spain, in Granada makes you speak Spanish from the first moment you are there. I took intensive Spanish courses four hours a day. The first two hours were based on speaking, and the other two were based on grammar. The classes were fun. The teachers were really helpful and friendly. However, you can experience the best Spanish learning in the street, with friends in and out school. I shared a flat with two other friends from other countries and we communicated in Spanish most of the time. They were really nice people, friendly and helpful all the time. Our flat was in the city center and ten minutes to the school. It was well furnished, clean and safe. As to my classmates, they were really fun. We always encouraged each other to speak Spanish. We met after school, organized short trips in and out town, went dancing after school. In Granada you can always find something to do. There are historical places like Alhambra and the Cathedral. If you are interested in flamenco, you can enjoy Sacramonte. You can shop. There are nice stores. You can go out to tapas bars, where you buy a drink and get free starters. Eating out is quite reasonable. You can cook and eat at home as well. Don't worry about the transportation. Actually, you can walk everywhere or take the bus. If you like travelling, you can easily go to other cities at weekends. You can take a coach to Cordoba, Seville etc. at the bus station or take a train. The school organizes excursions to those places at weekends and on...

The school has a central location and is close to the beach. It´s better to learn Spanish in Spain, because you have to speak Spanish here, no one can speak your language, this is the reason why you advance your level very fast. I like Spain very much and I like to come here another year again.

After I finished my degree in Hispanish Philology in Barcelona, I decided to specialize myself in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I got information from different Institutes who provided courses for teachers and I chose to study at iNMSOL, because it´s an accredited centre for Instituto Cervantes, also satisfying high level standards. The guarantee that the training would be profesional convinced me to move from Barcelona to Granada. Also, iNMSOL is located in the heart of the city centre that captured me from the first moment; Granada is a magical enclave, where the study becomes pleasent, the whole city is surrounded by culture and history, of art and bohemian. My experience with Inmsol was unbeatable, And It will keep one of the best memories of my life in Andalusia.  The course that I carried out also opened me doors to work as a teacher. In fact I was able to work as a teacher in one of the most presticious school in Andalusia with this diploma. Thanks a lot for your professionality and humanity, a big hug for everyone who makes iNMSOL such a great school.

I started with speaking a little bit of Spanish for the first time. I have to continue study Spanish in France. I will come back another day to finish where I started. I loved Granada. The city was very well with a lot of history and culture. I visited the Alhambra en Albaícin and both were magnificent.  I also went to Sierra Nevada, I skied a little but, but the weather was bad. I have to return another time to see the mountaint with the sun and the blue sky. I also went to Malaga and Marbella in the weekends with my car and it was a marvelous weekend. I visited the old town of Marbella and the old town of Mijas aswell. Those two are very beautiful. I especially loved the nightlife and Tapasbars of Granada. Every night I went to the bars. I drank Spanish beer and eated tapas, ham, cheese, tortillas, pealles etc. The environment in the bars was perfect.

I was also very positive about the flexibility of the school (for example the desired modification of the schedule). I followed partly private lessons, what also was a possibility.  Granada is of course, beside all of this, a extraordinary beautiful and living city. The school organised activities every night, like a tapas tour, a tour in the Albaícin or a tour to the mountains, Alpujarras, in the weekends. Sometimes the school organised special classnights, were for example the streetlanguage of Andalusia and films were spoken. My Spanish language progressed a lot, exactly what I wanted. I had a splendid time and I would return to this school for another course.

I stayed in Granada for 4 months. I admire the city and the school. The teachers are very good and are good trained. When I went to the school, I couldnñt speak Spanish, after 4 months of training I learned very well. I didn´t think I could learn a language in 4 months, but it´s possible in the school, thank you for everything teachers. The classes are playful and fun. The books that you need can be obtain at the school. There are a lot of films and books, which you can bring to your home and watch. They also organise trips to other cities. There are lessons with free additional. One time a week there are lessons about art, cinema, historie. The teachers helps us with every subject. I met people from different countries. I did not need to visit other cities, because the world seems to be Granada, people can find the world in Granada. I would go back there again. They welcomed me very well the first day and, although i did not know Spanish, I didn´t had any problems. I could say so much more, but in generel everything was perfect. My advise is to stay longer to get to know the Spanish culture
