About the school
FU International Academy has been teaching Spanish in Puerto de la Cruz, in the north of Tenerife, for over 20 years. The school sits between Mount Teide and the Atlantic, in a town where Spanish is still the everyday language, which means our students practise what they learn the moment they step outside. Small groups: a maximum of 10 students per class. We work with a system of 24 sublevels mapped to the CEFR, so students are placed precisely rather than lumped into a broad A2 or B1, and they start exactly where they left off. The school is a member of FEDELE, the Spanish federation of Spanish language schools. As well as learning the language you will explore wider aspects of Spain and its rich cultural heritage with a full programme of optional extra activities. Our leisure team will ensure that you enjoy your free time as well. Once a week we organise: breakfast, an excursion, sports activities, surfing, beach volleyball, salsa and Flamenco lessons etc.

I have studied 3 months Spanish in FU academy. My teacher in the morning was Amanda. She was great! It was nice to have the whole time the same teacher, she knew perfectly were my level was. The lessons with her are of course intensive but also so much fun. We learned in a fun way and played funny games. Also a nice way to get to know your classmates. In the afternoon I had Amanda, Laura or Juanjo. Most of the time I had Juanjo as my teacher. He was also a very funny teacher and makes learning fun to! The lessons are in Spanish, the first day was really heavy to only hear Spanish but after that I changed my mind. You learn so much more and faster if everything is in Spanish. If you don’t understand it, no problem they have alot of patcient;) and they will try to explan it in a different way. After school there were fun activities you can sign up for. Like surf lessons or follow fhe culture lessons. I really enjoyed my time in FU, learned alot, made new friends and great memories on this island. Thanks FU!

How we collect reviews: «Verified booking» means we e-mailed the student who booked when the course ended, so we know they took that course. «Invited by the school» or «by the agency» means the school or agency gave us the e-mail of one of its students and declared that they are a real student; we sent the invitation ourselves, but we did not see the booking. «Not verified» marks older LanguageBookings reviews written without a booking check. We publish good and bad reviews alike: schools and agencies cannot delete or hide them, they can only reply. We hide only insults and personal data.

Other terms
Course book: not included in the course price. It costs EUR 25, which the student pays in cash at reception on the first day of class (nothing to order beforehand). The student can buy the book and keep it, or rent it: in that case the EUR 25 works as a deposit and is refunded on the last day of the course if the book is returned undamaged and without writing inside it. We close on public holidays in Puerto de la Cruz. In weeks with a public holiday the course price is reduced by 20 %, because the lost lesson day is not made up; the school applies this reduction when it confirms the booking. Accommodation weeks are 6 nights (Sunday to Saturday). Our groups are made up of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 students. If only one or two students have enrolled in a group course, the course will normally still take place. However, we will reduce the teaching time to 75% (two students) or 50% (one student). Courses may start in the morning or in the afternoon.

How do I book a language course / accommodation?
Booking with us is really easy. You just have to go to the link of the school you are interested in. Where it says COURSE and then START, you select the dates you wish to study there. Afterwards, you select how many weeks you want to study.
You then select the course you wish to attend. You can add optional services, such as accommodation and airport transfer. If you would like to add these additional services, you need to go further down the page where you will find the section relating to ACCOMMODATION. You select the option of the type of accommodation you want (You do not have to select the dates here if they are the same as the course - they are automatically selected).
After the Accommodation, you have another option, that of TRANSFER. This option allows you to book a transport that will pick you up at the airport and will take you to your residence or host family.
Once you have selected all these options, on your right hand side, you are going to see a summary of your reservation with all the information about the course and the accommodation, together with their prices. Also, the deposit you have to pay will be displayed there. You just have to press the Orange Button that says BOOK NOW and this will take you to another page to enter your personal details. When you are booking you only have to pay the little deposit. After that, we will contact the school and request your booking. When your booking is confirmed by the school or host, they will hold your place until the your booking balance is paid in full. The same applies for the accommodation. You can pay with credit card, a PayPal account or, for most countries, bank transfer; as you prefer. This deposit you pay now will be discounted from the total price. The rest of the money will not have to be paid until 15 days before your course starts. In any case, you will be receiving emails about your deposit payments; and also, reminders about the rest of the money when it needs to be paid.
What are the benefits of booking through LanguageBookings.com?
Our discount: When the school offers it, you get the LanguageBookings discount and pay less than the school's own price list. You will see it on the school and course pages.
Help in your language: We answer your questions in your language, before and after you book.
We deal with the school for you: If the price, dates or accommodation change, we sort it out with the school on your behalf.
Book with a deposit only: The deposit is part of the course price, not an extra charge. If you pay by card, it is only authorised when you book and charged once the school confirms your place. If the school cannot confirm it, you are not charged, or the deposit is refunded in full.
When do the courses start?
The start dates of intensive and standard language courses are generally flexible. If you have some basic knowledge of the language, you will be able to start any Monday of the year at almost any school. If you are a total beginner, courses usually start once or twice a month.
You should be aware that language schools have more students in July and August than during any other time of year, which means that course fees, housing prices and the overall cost of living are often more expensive during this time. If you would like to book a course in July or August, you should do so very early: schools have limited spots and might be booked well in advance for the high season. Your chances to get your preferred housing type are also greater if you book your course early. Housing options near the school are especially difficult to secure in the summer and tend to fill up quickly.
Language courses during the low season (September to June) are not only less expensive, but also have smaller classes. If you are able to wait to take your courses during this time you will pay less for your courses, and you may even receive better housing, since demand is much lower. Please, review this information within the language course details on the language school page.
How do I know if a place is available?
You can find the availability status underneath each price on the school / host page. Nevertheless, if you submit a reservation request and your place is not available, the deposit paid will be 100% refunded.
