The care and attention the apple languages (and CLIC) teams paid to our daughter and her friends was wonderful. They had a brilliant 3 weeks in Cadiz and. Seville.

From the brilliant hosts who were both so kind, to the transfers and the teaching, it was all fantastic. The team’s swift and sensible response to queries was refreshing.

We’ve sent our daughter on exchange with other organisations before, Apple are the best. Hands down. We put our trust in them and they did not let us down.

Thanks to each and every one of the team who made it so ace. We will recommend Apple to everyone we know.

This organisation and its people care about what they do and it shows.

I took my two daughters to Malaga for a language and dance course. We had a brilliant time. All of our teachers were excellent. I loved the mix of nationality and age. We all felt that our Spanish improved and would definitely do it again. The Flamenco was fantastic, we laughed a lot, loved our teacher and want more! The location was great. We stayed on site and had all we needed within walking distance.
I spoke to the staff at Apple Languages a few times. They were all helpful and friendly, making the whole process exciting and stress-free.

The ambiance of the school was relaxed and friendly and I felt very comfortable and at home revising the French which I hadn't used for a few years. On the other hand there were students in the class who, because they needed the language for their work, were able to become proficient quickly because the school did listen to students' requests and needs The host family the school had found for me were friendly, helpful and generous. And the town itself is charming and has a very good bus service.
your stay there will be lovely.

I visited France (Paris and Toulouse) in October 2022 and enlisted Apple Language Courses to help with my studies (and lodging) in both locations. I cannot recommend Apple Language and their team enough. The staff was professional, supportive and extremely responsive. My visit was fantastic, and the quality of the schools was excellent. I will be visiting to study again in the future. Thank you!

I booked my 2 and a half month German language course through Apple Languages. I had an excellent & seamless experience.

Overview
I spent 2 and a half months studying German in Kitzbuhel with the Deutsch Institute as part of my 6 month sabbatical from work. I cannot rate this language school & Apple Languages enough. A wonderful mountain location, small bespoke classes and a great social activity agenda for those travelling solo. I was in Kitzbuhel with my husband for a number of weeks whilst he worked remotely as well as spending time here alone. The language school was incredibly flexible depending on whether my husband was in town or not with social activities.

The quality of language course was excellent. I have studied German on and off for many years and Hans at the Deutsch Institute is the best language teacher I have ever had. Great at finding common topics we can discuss and relentless (in a good way!) with correcting my German Grammar!

Accommodation
I rented an apartment for 2 and a half months. Apple Languages helped me source this via Hans at the Deutsch Institute. It was two minutes from the school. I drove my dog over from the UK and the apartment owner was dog friendly. (Kitzbuhel is very dog friendly). It was a perfect space with a Mountain View & terrace. The landlady was so helpful and kind (even helping rearrange flights when my husband was snowed in for his London flight on one occasion!)

General
Hans is a fantastic teacher. I fell in love with Kitzbuhel and was terribly sad to leave! It was a magical place to spend the end of summer, autumn and winter. Thought I’d mention that in November Kitzbuhel is pretty sleepy - but for someone trying to escape central London life for a bit this suited me! But if you’re looking for buzz then the summer or winter months would work.

I created life long memories, met sone fab students and am more confident speaking German than ever before. I even learned to Langlauf in December and loved the village. Incredible mountain hikes, skiing, dreamy dog walks, running and swimming. Overall 10 out of 10. Thanks to Elka & Hans in Kitzbuhel for making it so perfect.

For the first time we decided to send our teenager abroad. We had no idea what we were getting involved in and if Apple Languages could be trusted. We had lots of questions, especially as travel so complicated with Covid. It was a complete success. The office staff who helped us with our booking and endless questions were friendly, patient and so kind. The host family were fantastic and the staff at the school were wonderful. Benalmadina, our chosen school, is perfect for teenagers. A nice manageable town, all the joys of the beach and wonderful activities and tours. I thought it was super value. Our son made loads of friends and we'll definitely use Apple languages for him and our children. It seemed overwhelming to us at the start, but we're delighted with how it worked out. Well done all.

I had a great experience learning Spanish in Sosua, DR. The staff are all really helpful and friendly, and there is nothing like immersion to learn a language quickly. I had a great teacher, Mr Victoriano, but all the teachers are very good. The classes are informal but structured to ensure a positive learning environment. The accommodation at the school is basic but very clean and safe. The school is a 10 minute walk from the beach and numerous restaurants, a supermarket and pharmacy. The weather is great all year round and it is a quick flight from the USA. I am planning on returning later this summer...

My time in Nerja was truly amazing! From initial booking with a friendly, helpful team, transfer to Nerja to my accommodation, being so welcomed by my host family and into school the following day - all went really smoothly. The whole experience was fantastic - living with a family meant I was able to continue both practice and learning beyond school hours which was so rewarding, and really helped my confidence in speaking the language. Lessons were lively, lots of fun and our tutor Francisco was so creative and encouraging. We were a group of 8 in total, lots of nationalities which was so interesting, learning about other cultures too. Emphasis on speaking all the time, while recognising that grammar is important too, even in break times, we were chatting in spanish, which was great! Activities were varied and really interesting, history, culture, film etc and as a group I felt we developed a good bond, meeting and sharing social times and meals together. I will most definitely be returning to Nerja as I had such a wonderful time, my thanks to all who made this so enjoyable! I did have a 2week stay in Granada 2016 which was also fantastic and a beautiful city, again, so well organised, but I think I enjoyed Nerja just a little more. I feel Club 50+ suited me a little better somehow and I felt comfortable from the outset! I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. I will be continuing my classes here in England but nothing can compare to really being immersed into the life, culture, and above all, such a welcoming people!! Thank you again, Carol
