Colegio de Español La Janda

Warm, personal, professional and flexible.... I loved my course at La Janda

The school was located near the old part of the white village. The facilities were good. In the early week of June there weren't that many activities as I would have wished for, but this was due to the few number of pupils. Apparently there are a lot more students (and tourists!) during the summer months of July and August.

I really enjoyed being in the lectures. We were only two students there, therefore our learning process was very intensive and individual. I liked our teacher a lot.

Housing was well organised, food was pretty good and I appreciate the way my host family opened up their life to me.

I can warmly recommend this school and village to students who want to learn how to speak Spanish.

I've been in La Janda for 2 weeks taking daily lessons. Had an incredible time and substantially improved my Spanish skills.

Everyone at the school - both teachers and administration team alike - have been nothing short of excellent.
Vejer is one of the nicest towns I've ever been to and offered beautiful architecture, high-quality and affordable accommodation, great food and lovely bars, making the experience outside school hours very enjoyable.

I will most definitely return as soon as possible.

I started the course as a complete beginner and after 30 hours of one-to-one lessons I had grasped the basics of Spanish, at least enough to have a conversation. The lessons I have had have provided me with a good foundation on which to build my knowledge of the language.
My teacher was knowledgeable and patient, the school premises are located in a lovely part of the old town and the teachers made a point of putting on social activities where all the students would get together and be encouraged to socialize in Spanish.

I liked the atmosphere: quiet, small school, natural, small village, and the people.
I prefer the school rather small.
I want you to maintain such an atmosphere.

Quality of the course was very good. I had a very enthusiastic teacher and with just one classmate, almost private teaching. I had a private apartment in the school that was good. I booked one social activity: a walk around town, that I enjoyed.

The most striking thing about this small college is the friendliness of teachers and staff.
Vejer de la Frontera is a beautiful, emblematic pueblo blanco. Hundreds, if not thousands of little bars and eating places line its narrow, hilly streets. The hardest task is finding the college in the labyrinth. But when I did, I felt so at home, right from the first moment.
The school building is old and very attractive, with stunning views, especially from my favourite room, the library, full of modern computers, yet so peaceful.
Classes are small. The teaching is very flexible, you only have to mention something you find difficult for it to be brought up in the next lesson.
The teachers are good and share a great sense of humour and we talked and laughed a lot during the classes. Supporting staff are equally friendly in the office and will happily sort out any problems, from timetables to bank accounts.
Being a middle aged woman, I arranged my own housing, but next time I won't hesitate to stay in the college. I was nervous that I would feel out of place, being older and not having done a course of any sort since leaving school.
I need not have worried, I had a fantastic time and felt included in all activities.
I have to say, Vejer is not suitable for shopaholics, nor for people who have difficulties with walking as it is very hilly.
Walking, riding, and water sports are all readily available and there are flamenco evenings, tapas evenings etc.
I will be back as soon as I can!
