What our students say

  • “Coming to Malaga has been an unforgettable experience. First, because the city is very nice and especially because the course was very interesting. I will return to France with concrete elements (games) to give my classes. Exchanging with other professors from different countries is also very interesting.”
    Anne-Laure Sanchez Lacombe
  • “The course has been really interesting. I learned a lot of things regarding the use of Internet in class. In class I learned many things by playing game in Spanish, which has proved to be a very good way of learning a new language.
    Furthermore, we went through the grammar again, which was particularly good for me as I learned more about some specific issues that were difficult for me in Spanish.”
