Foundation of the Spanish Language

I entered the school last year. I picked an individual class for several months. Now, im in a group class. Either individual or in a group, I always have good experience from several teachers. My Spanish improved too. A lot of improvement! Thanks to Natalia who always provides the best teachers for us.

I would recommend this course if you want to improve your spoken Spanish and immerse yourself in the language. I went to the Fundación in August 2024 for a two-week course, having obtained a scholarship via my university in Turkey.

After an exam on the first day, I was placed in a A2-B1 level course, which was a bit below my level in terms of grammar but very much what I needed in terms of vocabulary and daily spoken Spanish. Of the 10 students there at the time, 6 were in my class. Our professor, Alfonso, asked us about our expectations about the course and tailored the class according to our needs. He was a very good, humble and funny professor. He was very attentive when we did not understand something and always provided relevant vocabulary or cultural details to our conversations whenever he could, which was what we wanted. We did a number of activities and games to improve our grammar, vocabulary, knowledge of local expressions, and natural speaking skills. The class, which was 4 hours with a half-hour break in the middle, never got boring for me.

The Fundación also provided a trip in Valladolid and an excursion to Salamanca. Special thanks to Álber for organizing a trip to Salamanca on a public holiday, accompanying us, and taking time off his personal schedule to show us around Valladolid on two separate evenings. He shared a more personal side of Valladolid that I will not forget.

I cannot personally speak to the Fundación's accommodations as I found an AirBnB place to stay, which was a cheaper option at the time. However, some of my classmates stayed at the university residence and were happy with the rooms and the food.

Overall, I would definitely recommend the Fundación. Special thanks to Alfonso and Álber once more :)

To anyone wanting to massively develop their overall Spanish language skills, this foundation is by far the best place to study. When it comes to the structure of the lessons, there is always a mix of well selected activities in class; whether being, interactive speaking, useful activity tasks, listening practice tasks or general worksheets. The location of the foundation is fantastic, right in the centre of the city, surrounded by many architectural sites, churches, bars, cafes etc. The staff are very kind, helpful and most importantly, very informative. This means that if there is a request you might need, for example, you are still not sure how to use the subjunctive or you might want to book a day trip to Salamanca, staff members will always go out of their way to help their students, prioritising them first.
The foundation also organises activities for their students such as reggaeton dance classes, visits and day trips which are a major selling point in order to get the whole experience of being in Castile y Leon.
The institution itself is very neat, tidy and makes you feel comfortable whilst you are learning.
In my experience the sense of the passion to teach at the foundation, the helpfulness of the teachers, effective learning techniques and the pool of many other fellow students are many of the factors that made me enjoy my time here whilst also drastically improving my linguistic and grammatical skills in Spanish. I can't mention enough, how good this place is. Plus, I also noticed that the form of spoken Spanish in Valladolid is quite slow, clear and well enunciated making it easier to communicated with everyone whilst improving your Spanish.
I highly recommend Fundación de la Lengua Española, you'll love it!

He sido profesor para la fundación y mi experiencia ha sido muy positiva. Los grupos abarcan muchos niveles diferentes y se adecúan a las necesidades de los estudiantes (si vienen en grupo, si quieren trabajar temas específicos, etc). Además, por las tardes también se ofrecen actividades culturales para descubrir la ciudad u otros lugares cercanos como Salamanca y Segovia.
Por último, destacar el papel de la administración, que atiende de forma muy clara y personalizada, así como resuelve cualquier posible inconveniente rápidamente.

Colaboro con la Fundación de la Lengua como familia anfitriona desde hace poco tiempo y estoy disfrutando muchísimo de los estudiantes que traen a Valladolid. Son muy profesionales y los estudiantes se van encantados.

La Fundación de la Lengua Española es un sitio estupendo con profisionales muy competentes y atenciosos. Cuando alli estuve me trataron muy bien y fueron mas que maestras, directoras y secretarias…. fueron amigas . Todos os alumnos que estaban conmigo apreciaron tambien el tratamento que recibieron. A todos que conozco, les encantó estar alli. Volveré cuando tenga la oportunidad. La recomiendo a todos.

Ha sido una buena experiencia,tengo que agradecer a todo el equipo de la fundación por su trabajo.
