Fantastic experience: At the Habla Institute every student is met at their own level of ability and interest. The standard of teaching is excellent and the teaching style is relaxed and enjoyable. Lolo and his team make learning Spanish relevant to each person’s travel or personal experience. I highly recommend Habla to anyone who would like to make their trip to Spain or Latin America more enjoyable and easier or if you have Spanish speaking acquaintances. My holidays are richer because of the normal, daily conversational skills I have acquired at Habla. Give Spanish a try, you’ll be surprised and delighted with yourself.

Fantastic experience: Lolo and his team have perfected a language learning methodology that incorporates the communicative approach but also includes the very important elements of vocabulary and grammar. I have never attended a lesson at Habla Spanish Institute, whether in person using Zoom or on one of their language learning holidays, that I didn't thoroughly enjoy! I feel that it is always the needs of the student that inform the content and the teaching style of the lessons delivered by Lolo and his team. The preparation of each lesson is meticulous and the delivery is always engaging. For this reason I highly recommend Habla Spanish Institute to all spanish learners whether the motivation is pure enjoyment or improving proficency in Spanish for work or for exams. As a teacher myself, I recognize high quality teaching methodology when I see it. A testament to the quality of the language learning offered is the fact that students like myself return year after year and see their proficiency in the language improve steadily over time. I particularly enjoy how strands of Spanish culture are woven through the lessons which greatly enhance the language learning experience. I will be enrolling in September 2024 once again and I am already looking forward to beginning yet another round of inspiring lessons with the Habla Spanish Institute team.

Fantastic experience: Looking for a fabulous fun holiday where you can also immerse yourself in spanish language? Recommending this adult holiday / course with 5 stars! Lolo is a gifted and patient instructor - with a charming and hilarious sense of humour that makes his classes fun and relaxed. Along with his teaching partner Inma - another gifted teacher with the patience of a saint / Lolo and Inma create an atmosphere of fun and low pressure - the language comes because we were always laughing. They also ensure the trip is filled with group excursions where we got to soak up the beauty, history and culture Caceras - and the surrounding area. If you are learning spanish and want a low key, super social and fun vibes holiday - I highly recommend! I’ve already booked for the next trip! ♥️

Fantastic experience: I have been doing classes with Habla Spanish Institute since 2020. Great preparation helps create a nice mix of conversation, grammar, listening and writing skills.We are regularly consulted about class content and we work in a very relaxed atmosphere. This June I went on a Language Holiday with Habla Spanish Institute to the lovely city of Caceres. Caceres provides a very authentic experience of life in Spain. The level of teaching provided by Lolo and Inma our 2 wonderful teachers was excellent. The trip was also very enjoyable.We had lovely excursions, practical language exchanges and very nice meals together with our group. I strongly recommend Habla Spanish Institute for both its online classes and Language Holidays.

Mary gracias por tus palabras. It was an amazing week for us too! Inma and I really enjoyed having you in Caceres and showing our home city and its treasures. Really looking forward for the next one. See you soon in Málaga!

Fantastic experience: I recently spent a fantastic week in Cáseres Spain on a Spanish Language holiday. A course that is welcoming , inclusive, and challenging. We had an action-packed week, learning Spanish, enjoying cultural and historical activities. In addition to this, we visited Monfragŭe National park to observe local flora and fauna. Another highlight for me was a visit to a Roman amphitheatre in Merida. One day, we swam in a natural pool in the mountains followed by a long leisurly lunch. One evening was spent wine tasting ! Every evening we gathered together to eat in restaurants where we enjoyed local cuisine at amazingly low cost.Being immersed in the beautiful city of Caseres has really improved my Spanish I feel more motivated and confident to learn more and use my Spanish. Without a doubt, it was a memorable week. I am already looking forward to our next immersion week with teachers Lolo and Inma. Quality is the only word to describe their standard of teaching. All levels were catered for. Carmel Maguire

Fantastic experience: The June 2023 Habla Spanish Institute language trip to Caceres has been a great experience. Our class teachers, Lolo and Inma organised the trip excellently and the classroom activities and the cultural events and tours were a great addition. We particularly enjoyed the long chats in Spanish over tapas in the warmth of the Caceres evenings and the oportunity to meet local people. This trip was an insight into real Spanish life. Consider going next time. No matter if your Spanish is rusty, improving or advanced, the teachers will ensure that you come away with a lot more confidence in speaking than you had at first. You will enjoy the classroom work and the fun of being with like-minded amigos who can strike a balance between study and enjoyment! Lolo and Inma gave 100% to ensure that the course was a success and the added bonus was the opportunity to learn in a beautiful welcoming city, steeped in history. And before you go, why not sign up for one of the The Habla Spanish Institute online courses where you will get a great welcome and an opportunity to learn in a professional and engaging environment. Hasta luego!

Amanda Thomson Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Wonderful language holidays in beautiful Caceres, traditional medieval town with few tourists, or in Malaga. Dedicated teachers who make learning a fun activity with many practical activities and an introduction to real Spanish culture. Complete immersion including meals (delicious food) and excursions to get to know the region better. Everyone 's needs are catered for and nothing is too much trouble for Lolo and Inma. You are guaranteed to have a good time while you improve your language level. If you go alone, as I did, you will find the group extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: It is a pleasure and a privilege to be taught by a teacher of Lolo’s calibre. His classes are thoroughly prepared which makes for good learning and enjoyment . His mastery of IT learning tools creates a class time without any glitches. I thoroughly enjoy all my classes with Lolo , I learn a lot and hope to continue as long as Lolo is willing to teach me. I would truly recommend his courses for anyone interested in the Hispanic language and culture. A whole new world will open under the guidance of this gifted teacher.

Brigid Rowan-Castellano Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed this Spanish class. Lolo is an excellent teacher, great communicator and brings an amazing energy to the class. My Spanish improved so much in a short space of time and I really appreciate being able to watch some Spanish films with subtitles now and have a good understanding. I look forward to being able to try out the very practical Spanish he taught us, the next time I'm in Spain. I will, most definitely, be signing up for the next level when the class returns in September.

Martin Burke Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined the class with no knowledge of Spanish and no idea of what to expect, especially as it was going to be on Zoom. I have had a really enjoyable year. There were 6 in the class and while we were unable to meet physically I feel we have become friends and got to know and enjoy each other’s company. We were lucky with our teacher, Lolo, who kept the classes light and cheerful while at the same time cajoling us to learn and to talk. Already after 1 Year I have a desire to keep going and get my Spanish to the next level where I can chat with people and explore Spanish culture and more

Fantastic experience: I have been learning Spanish with Lolo for a number of years and loved the classes and the travel opportunities with him. The covid crises brought an extra opportunity to learn with my classmates through the virtual classroom that is Zoom. If offered the same learning from the safety of your home. Highly recommend Lolo and his team both fun and educational. Tks Lolo
