Apple Languages

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.

All the staff at the college were friendly and supportive, adult learners from all over the world and a fantastic host family. Benalmadena was a wonderful town, so much to see and do and such a choice of restaurants. I will definitely return.

I had a very good experience with Apple Language Courses. The communications were prompt and clear and booking was easy. They placed me with a lovely language school in Taormina and I had a great and useful time there. Very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Apple Languages were extremely helpful in finding an alternative when my originally booked school was unavailable, due to circumstances entirely beyond their (or my) control. The situation was not created by Apple, but they assisted in transferring my original payment to a new school and finding alternative accommodation. Superb customer service, above and beyond what could reasonably be expected. I was also very impressed with the accommodation provided. This is a business you can have confidence in.

Very poor customer service. Definitely not suited to beginners. I attended for a month long course only to be entered into an already running class who had been attending lessons for 3 weeks. This made it impossible to join in and understand as everyone had already learned the basics I had not. Furthermore, I experienced car troubles (my petrol tank was drilled and siphoned) which costed me 1200 euro to fix.

As a result, I was unable to attend the last 2 weeks of courses. Apple refused to refund me as it was "company policy" and they thought they were "being very flexible" in allowing me to postpone my courses. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Fantastic week in Costa Adeje with Apple Language Courses! I started as really not much more than a beginner and by the week was talking about myself, where I live, my family, conjugating verbs, describing things in terms of size, colour etc & asking questions in Spanish with confidence. My teacher Laura was fantastic and really encouraged us to speak in Spanish.

I was the only English speaker in the group and this total immersion in the language really took me out of my comfort zone initially, but I was so pleased with the results attend of the week, it was well worth it!

I attended one of Apple Language courses, and I was very disappointed. The course was not suitable for beginners, I wasted 500. I would recommend you have at least basic conversation and reading skills in the language you book. Otherwise you cannot understand the lessons or the coursework as they are not in English. You are in mixed nationality classes so the teacher cannot be translating into all the students home languages. I would recommend you only book a few days trail at first as there are no refunds if you later find the course unsuitable.

I attended a course in Hamburg and had a great time. I had not studied German since being at school and consider myself to be pretty much a beginner. I started again with the basics and was pleased with the progress that I made. The total immersive element of the classes was new to me as all the lessons were taught exclusively in German. Despite this, it was really easy to understand what was going on and what was being taught.

It certainly got the brain thinking more in German which can only be a good thing. The other people on the course were in a similar boat to me so it was easy to make friends. This really added to experience and I'm looking forward to keeping in touch in the future (in German of course). Definitely the best way to learn the language! It has certainly inspired me to keep on with my studies.

Course: Two very motivated teachers at IS in Aix en Provence( Claire and Florence) have made the course (level B2) pleasant, interesting and useful Accommodation My host family in Aix - en - Provence has been really perfect. A very clean house and the meals were really good. A nice family atmosphere with a lot of \"conversations\" at dinner time. If I go back to Aix, I\'m surely going to ask for staying with them again

Booked private training (Portugese, Lisbon) for a week and a private room. 3 out of 5 days the trainer was to late, one day even with 35 min. She had the feeling to compensate for her late arrival so the paste of information coming my way doubled and was sometimes way to fast. Private room!? BAD idea, my 'window' was connected to the kitchen so not to an outside wall and had no curtain!

Meaning if people of the shared apartment used the kitchen, bathroom or corridor my room got all the light also. Private? If you consider a gap between the door and the wall of 5 cm private than yes this is what you end up with. People could see me in bed when they walked in the corridor :( O and if you think they compensated the no outside window part with a mobile Air Conditioner think again. I contacted the company, no response yet. Bad bad bad, think before you book!
