I went to El Capitán for 4 weeks to learn Spanish! I had such an amazing experience. I had 2 teachers within my time there (Angel & Pilar). They were both sensational and very patient with me as it was my first time learning a language other than English. I also became friends with a lot of the students there as well :) While all the students varied slightly in ability the classes were structured to help each individual get the most out of class. The amount of classes/time you have in class depends also on class size. I enjoyed having classes in the morning and having all afternoon to explore Las Palmas and the surrounding areas. The school also organises tours around Las Palmas and some other towns which are great and informative! (At a small extra cost) Apart from the course, I also really enjoyed living in Las Palmas! The bars, cafes, beaches, surfing, friendly people and a relaxed lifestyle. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to learn Spanish. I hope to come back one day!

This language school is more than good! You get everything you need to learn the language and get to know the history and culture on Gran Canaria. The teachers are patient and helpful. The classes are build up with different methods to learn which brings some variation. The daily coffee break gives you the chance to talk Spanish outside of the classroom. The owner is kind and makes you feel home right away. All the cultural activities are thought through and well prepared. The activities on Fridays are difficult when you are a total beginner, but it is possible to manage and only helps you with your Spanish. The classes are small enough to get a lot of attention, tiring but so worth it! All in all the perfect place and school to learn Spanish.

Wonderful, enthusiastic teachers and a rich, cultural programme that includes guided tours, museum visits and trips to local markets - highly recommended for a 360 experience of Spanish life in Gran Canaria. Academia El Capitán really made my language learning fun!

I followed this intensive Spanish course during 2 months in the beginning of the Year. For me It was of an excellent quality and it prepared me to understand and really express myself in Spanish. Our teacher Angel did a wonderful job. My group varied from 6 to 8 persons and he gave everyone the attention and support we needed in a good atmosphere, with a nice sense of humour and a big personal interest. This guy likes his job! Strongest points were the outdoor sessions where we were forced to speak our first Spanish phrases with real Spanish people. I also liked the cultural excursions and a couple of times we also visited good tapas restaurants. Best thing was the group with people with really different backgrounds, jobs, cultures and characters. Angel made us talk to each other, explaining our lives, ideas, convictions and even sometimes emotions. We were our own colourful conversation topics and that made this course not only very useful but also an experience never to forget.

I visited an intensive A1 course in July 2019 and it was absolutely an amazing time. I learned and improved my spanish day by day thanks to the fantastic work of Angel and Monika. The classes are structured, we learned grammar, vocabulary and communication at the same time. We repeated regularly what we learned before and got answers for each question. Angel&Monika are perfect teachers who pay attention for the students very honestly and try to provide the best learning for everyone. The atmosphere of the classes are friendly and warm, I felt at home at the language school every day. I highly recommend the language school to everyone! In addition we had amazing optional cultural programmes. These events were also super helpful to get closer to the spanish culture and to the local canarian life. We visited wonderful and interesting places and learned a lot about the history of Canary Islands. Last,but not least we went to the best places to eat local food, everything was super delicious :) I will certanly return to further classes in the future! xoxoxo Ildiko ps: I had the luck to celebrate my birthday on the last day of the course with the class, it will be always a memorable time!

In February 2020 I had a great time learning Spanish at this language school (level A2). The team is young, motivated and committed to their work. The groups are usually quite small which makes your learning experience really intense. Different teaching techniques and methods are used to keep your motivation and language in focus. The organization before my stay was super easy and the email responses very fast.

I visited this school in summer 2019 and can only recommend the place, which combines both professional and dedicated teachers and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Inclass training takes you right to where you want and additional outdoor activities help you practise your knowledge. Absolutely the first choice for learning Spanish !

I can highly recommend this school. The lessons were well structured and the teachers were capable and professional. The small groups of students helped for a more effective way of learning.

I had a wonderful experience and met new people which made the classes more interesting and fun most of all thanks to our teacher Zuleiman who was always patient and dynamic. I highly recommend this class to all new Spanish learners in Gran Canaria

Best course ever! The team is really professional and they take care not only of improving your Spanish, but also help you to get to know their wonderful country and culture. The organisation and the quality of the Spanish course is excellent, the outdoor classes are the best! Bonus point:great accomodation near the beach. Thank you again for the great time and I'm looking forward to visiting you for the next level Spanish course!

Amazing school! Absolutely great staff! Our teacher Carmen was incredible!! Special thanks to Monika and Angel who make this school what it is; great, professional and fun! Weekly school trips are a great add to the intensive courses, you get to practice Spanish and sightsee at the same time! Muchas gracias El Capitan! Yo hablo español ahora! 🙌🏼🤓🇪🇸
