Fantastic! I really enjoyed my time here. The teachers were amazing, very friendly and professional, and the whole place had a really nice aura. Daily activities were arranged for the students, which were really fun and allowed us to immerse ourselves in the culture as well as the language. My language skills overall did improve two levels in only three weeks! I will certainly be back the next holiday!!

Ich kann Academia Contacto nur empfehlen! Während der Zeit an der Schule konnte ich mein Spanisch, vor allem das Sprechen, verbessern. Die Lehrer sind sehr freundlich und der Unterricht macht Spaß. Man behandelt verschiedene interessante Themen und lernt gleichzeitig neue Grammatik, wobei der Schwerpunkt immer auf dem Sprechen liegt, was mir besonders gefallen hat!

I studied B2 level Spanish at Academia Contacto for 4 weeks and it was a great experience. As well as improving my language and grammar skills, the school organised weekly activities that allowed me to get to know Madrid more as well and make new friends at the same time. The staff were really friendly and always willing to help with anything during my time there. I would definitely recommend Academia Contacto to anyone who wants to improve their Spanish whilst having fun at the same time.

Academia Contacto is a great school in the centre of Madrid! The classes are small, so you get lots of individual attention and you learn the language more quickly. The school organizes fun events for the students. Highly recommended!

I had a very enjoyable time at Academia Contacto and made tremendous progress thanks to the wonderful teachers who made every minute worth it. The other students in the group were pleasant company, and it was nice to meet after the classes to visit places, go for walks and drinks together and explore the city. I would love to go back and would certainly recommend this school to anybody who is serious about learning Spanish fast and well.

Academia Contacto is a great school and I really enjoy learning Spanish here! As a Dutch student I am currently taking A2 classes here. My class consist of only 3 students so everyone gets a lot of attention. The atmosphere in class is really nice, students and teachers are very friendly and helpfull and my spanish is improving rapidly! The school is located in the centre and easy to reach by metro.

Academia Contacto is a really nice friendly school. The class sizes are small which means you get a lot of attention and you can improve really quickly. My teacher gave me lots of confidence as I was really shy to begin with!! The school is situated in a nice area right between Iglesia and Bilbao metro stops and so is very easy to get to and Mario the owner is very kind and funny:)!! I would highly recommend this school if you want to learn/improve your spanish. Hasta Luego Academia Contacto!

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.
