During my stay in Toledo there were 2 things that were extremely important, and central to the whole experience: The school itself, and the host family. I am happy to say that for me, both of these were perfect!

The host family was amazing: The house was brilliant and in a great location, and all of the people in the family were really friendly and helpful. It was great to return from class each day and have a delicious (and often enormous) meal waiting for me, and I could never have learnt so much without being able to practice speaking with the family. It was also great that they had such a wide range of ages in their family, with 2 sons aged 23 and 26, and a daughter aged 3 who always great fun.

For me the school was also amazing. When I had to fill in the questionnaire on my last day, there was a section for suggestions, but I really couldnt think of any way in which the lessons could have been improved. I have had Spanish lessons in the past in the UK, and always found the materials to be poor, and didn't really learn a lot. The materials here were good, and the lessons were fun and interesting, and I think I have greatly improved my Spanish over the past 4 weeks. When I arrived in Spain my host family didn't think I could say anything in Spanish, and to be honest this wasn't far from the truth! After just a few weeks at Aula Toledo I have been able to have lots of interesting conversations with people in Spanish, and have generally been able to understand what people have said to me, and have made myself understood most of the time.

Outside of class, Maite has organised lots of things for me to do in the evenings, such as watching films in Spanish, going to concerts, going on tours of the city and having intercambios with students who are learning English. This has been great, because I don't think I would have found any of these activities on my own.

For me, the best part of this whole experience has to have been all of the lessons that I had, especially in the last 2 weeks when I was the only student in the class. My teacher was excellent, and we got on really well. She was really easy to talk to, and always showed a great amount of interest in what I had to say. I'm going to miss her a lot!

Overall, Toledo is a beautiful city, and the school has been excellent. I have learnt a huge amount of Spanish during my time here, and can't really think of any ways that the course could have been better.

AulaToledo:2 semanas increìbles

Hello, I spent a wonderful time in Toledo! The two weeks organized by Aula Toledo were so rich! First, I wanted to go to Toledo, because it is a very old and culturally interesting town. The old part of Toledo (el casco) is very nice and you can visit a lot of sites (old Roman bath, mosque, synagogue, churches, cathedral, museum of El Greco and so much more… and there are so nice bars and restaurants).
Then, I looked for a language school and found Aula Toledo. Although I organized my time in Toledo very spontaneously, Maite López, the director of Aula Toledo, was very committed and found a host family in a few days. The contact (e-mail) was very reliable I always got help and answers very quickly. The Premium Intensive course (24 hours/week) was very helpful to improve the knowledge of Spanish language. The main focus was communication, but our teachers were always ready to revise grammatical problems etc. if we wanted to do it. Our group was very small: 4 students and one teacher, so we always had the opportunity to talk and our teachers found good and varied occasions to speak about. They were very interested in our persons, our lands…They are humorous people and had a very good sense of what every student wanted to learn and was able to do. We enjoyed the time together!
After school I lived in a Spanish family, so nice! They gave me the opportunity to become integrated into their family and were so open to me. They showed me interesting sites and gave me some good advice what to do. And they spent a lot of time with me. So I had another good occasion to talk and to learn about the Spanish culture. And it was a wonderful human experience.
Thank you so much!
ent a wonderful

Hello everyone!

I spend 2 amazing weeks in Toledo. I was basically looking for something serious and fun. I read so many reviews and understood that many "schools" do not actually deliver what is required to master a language.

Aula Toledo is first all a real school with talented teachers. They really sense the needs of a student and how to help him progress effectively. The program is clear and you can really notice the improvement quickly. I will also recommend a minimum of 2 weeks to really get the maximum of it.

The school is as well amazing, very stylish and you can really feel after a while at home.

I took the option to stay in a family. Everything was great and I salute the two of them as they were really kind and down to earth. They welcomed me not only as a guest but also as a friend. That makes the experience even richer.

Toledo? A great city full of history with amazing food and fun!

I highly recommend this school and strongly believe they should deserve much more credit as I can really see the improvement! Be part of the adventure and go to Aula Toledo!!!

Holá!
I studied 2 weeks in Aula Toledo and the whole experience was just great!
Toledo is a wonderful city, every corner is picture-worthy, and it has a unique and incredibly rich history. To illustrate this, the walls of the room where I lived were made of stones from the wisigoth and Arabic eras and there was a roman cistern in my closet!
I've studied in a few language schools and I can tell that the service, the whole registration process, is the best I've encountered. You really feel like you are welcomed. My host family waited for me at the train station and Maite toured with me in the city showing me the main points of interests, restaurants and bars (they are surprisingly many). 
The courses themselves are great too. They are centered on conversation, but of course, all the important aspects are covered (grammar, audition, tricks to learn verbs, slang etc.), and meanwhile you learn a lot about Spanish culture. My teacher, Chus, adapted rapidly to my level. 
As I said, I lived in a family, wonderful and kind people. The room was perfect (my own bathroom!) and food was fantastic. I practiced a lot with them and it was a real immersion. I made a lot of progress there!
My two weeks in Toledo were certainly the highlights of my trip in Spain and I just wished I had stayed longer!!

Pasé una semana con Aula Toledo y habría podido pasar muchas más tan la experiencia me gustó. En general, soy bastante crítica pero en este caso no había mucho que criticar.

La ciudad es fantástica y da la impresión de vivir en siglos pasados pero con las comodidades modernas. La comida está muy rica y la gente muy agradable. Por suerte no se habla mucho inglés todavía.

En cuanto a la escuela, el sitio, el ambiente, los docentes, todo perfecto. Me gustó el contenido del curso. Me gustó también la honestidad de la escuela. Por ejemplo, cuando dicen 4 horas, son 4, no 3.30. Cuando hacen una semana de 3 días por causa de vacaciones, no hacen pagar 5 días. Cuando dicen que no se fuma en la casa, no se fuma, no es que se fuma en la ventana con la mitad del humo volviendo dentro de la casa como lo experimenté la semana siguiente en otra ciudad.

Bueno, solo cosas positivas. Yo seguro que volveré (si me aceptan).

Pasé 6 dias con Aula Toledo junto con mis hijos que tienen 9 y 11 años. Hemos tenido algunos dias muy agradables con algunos profesores muy entusiastas. Como yo tenia clase con 2 otras señoras hemos podido hablar mucho sobre diferentes temas. Claro que también hemos repasado un poco la gramatica. Para mis hijos era la primera vez que tenian clase de español y ya tienen ganas de volver. Estoy muy contenta que ahora también a ellos les ha atrapado el virus del español. Entretanto es una gran oportunidad de explorar Toledo, una ciudad maravillosa.

I enjoyed my week with Aula Toledo and found that I had progressed well in speaking Spanish. I went in late March and there were only three people in class including me so the individual attention given was high as was the level of conversation which brings you on at a faster rate. The school itself was lovely, set in the heart of Toledo which is a must see for it’s architectural heritage and to me this is one of Spain’s best kept secrets.
My thanks goes to Maite who kept in touch with me almost until I left Glasgow and of course to Chus my teacher for the week.
I look forward to returning later in the year.

I spent 3 weeks to do a spanish course with Aula Toledo in march. When I signed up for the course I didn't know what to expect but I was surprised by the school when I got there! Aula Toledo is in the best spot in Toledo, right in the beautiful center. The school has the nicest teachers all very experienced but still very fun and young :P they all try really hard to make you feel comfortable and to get the best out of your time in Spain. I also decided to stay in a hostfamily which I also would recommend if you don't want to stay by yourself in a Hostel.
The course helped me a lot! Every day i felt like I've really learned a lot and now after 3 weeks I can express in spanish almost anything I need to altough I came to do the course with zero knowlege of spanish.
In the end I can just recommend it to anyone who wants a nice personal school with the possibility to learn a LOT of spanish!

I went for 3 weeks in August and had a very great time. I had little spanish experience and found it very comforting that Maite was there to help me with anything I needed. I felt very welcomed from the minute I arrived in Toledo. This school is the best when It comes to teaching spanish and I learned so much. The entire staff is very pleasant and helpful.The host families that you are set you up with are very inviting as well.

I spent a delightful week in Toledo AND souped up my Spanish courtesy of Aula Toledo. I felt incredibly lucky to receive so much individual attention to help me iron out some my (many!) pesky grammar problems. The teaching staff clearly knew what they were doing. Aula Toledo struck me as very well organised, efficient and reliable, sending me plenty of information prior to my arrival as well as sorting out lovely accommodation for my stay. The city of Toledo itself is incredibly beautiful - photographs on the web don't really do it justice. A true gem if you love exploring European history and geology. I will definitely be back for more.

I went to Aula Toledo for one week in August. The lessons were ejoyable, insightable and cheerful. I had a very nice time. I think Aula Toledo is a good school to choose: first of all because the classes and the atmosphere are lovely, but also because the city is worth experiencing. I went with my two friends, and we felt wellcome all the time. The school offers good places to live, and nice activities after class in the beautiful city. Classes may easily fit your needs.
