All AIP employees were very nice, very helpful and also took the time to answer questions. You can also speak to a German in the organization team. As a beginner, I thought that was great too.
Disliked
My first accommodation was not according to my expectations regarding the cleanliness of the kitchen and with locals. In general, finding an accommodation in Valencia is very challenging, although the school and those responsible put a lot of effort into it.
Insider tip: I found the leisure activities and the organizers great.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: In practice, it is not just a language course. But people try to talk a lot. The basics of grammar are also taught, which is also required for speaking.
Other comments The free computers are not exactly up to date. Small monitors and Win XP. When you can't do something on your smartphone.

I liked the lessons, which were well structured and held by dedicated, active, humorous teachers. We learned and laughed a lot. I lost my fear of speaking.
Insider tip: My friend and I lived in an apartment between the old City centre and AIP idiomas. Both were within walking distance (+/- 20 minutes) . I would recommend other students to live in a central location.

Quality of teaching / language progress: I did not join afternoon activities, so I cannot rate this point. The classrooms are well equipped, but there are no windows.

The way the language was taught was fantastic, easy to understand and slow enough that the information would be transferred.
Disliked
However, as much as I liked the classes, it was pretty expensive and many people would not be able to have the opportunity to learn from you. Which is shame because it's a really good school! I also find that being put into a classroom with people studying for longer periods of time doesn't help since I learned at their pace rather than a pace for two weeks of classes.

My zero level in Spanish was not taken into account, and the blame was passed on to Madly Simba (and vice versa, it seems). Little or no preparation for certain courses. Reception: the group was not expected, we were forgotten.

Questions and answers about AIP Language Institute

  • Regarding the sailing course, availability depends on the weather forecast. November is the last month for sailing and depending on the weather it may or may not be possible to book sailing this late in the fall. This is something we cannot confirm until the week before the course starts.
    Martina Fuchs, Sales Manager from AIP Language Institute - Jul 29, 2021
  • Yes, the school offers a late check-in in some cases. However, if you arrive after 23:00, the flight transfer must be booked in addition to the usual fee.
    Martina, Administration from AIP Language Institute - Feb 14, 2023
  • The school offers English courses (and other languages such as Catalan/Valencià, French, Italian and German) for all levels, both face-to-face and online, throughout the year. You can choose from General English, Exam Preparation, Business English and Conversation courses.

    The Standard English course consists of 3 hours per week, 1 or 2 days per week, in a course which places special emphasis on developing the student's oral expression. The classes are based on communication, so you will start speaking English from day one.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 10, 2023
  • "AIP" means "Advisers for International Programmes".

FAQ about AIP Language Institute, Valencia

  • Definitely! Studying in a group has its own advantages. Firstly, you can communicate in a foreign language with your teacher and classmates. Secondly, you will learn not only from your own mistakes but also learn to notice the mistakes of other students. But we also have private lessons in case you want to practise one-on-one with a native speaker.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 02, 2023
  • If you have dyslexia or another learning disorder, it is important to choose your target language carefully. Languages with a close correspondence between pronunciation and spelling, such as Italian and Spanish, may be easier for you to learn. In contrast, English can be more challenging due to its less consistent spelling and pronunciation. In particular, Spanish has almost a 1-to-1 correspondence between letter combinations and sounds. The English language can be tricky, as the same letter combinations can result in different sounds (such as through, tough, and bough), and different letters can produce the same sounds (as in super and circle).
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jan 09, 2024
