    Very disappointing. They have charges for each and everything. Even they charge for issuing a certificate. The teacher does not understand English. I enrolled in the beginner level and the teacher could not understand me and I could not understand the teacher. Where we are completely unknown about the language basics, the class started with phrases in Spanish language. Moreover, the teaching pattern was very poor. I feel like my money got wasted here. Please do not enroll yourselves in the institute.

    A great place to learn Spanish in a short span of time. Many events are organised relating to Spanish culture. The library has a very good ambience for self study and a big collection of Spanish literature. The staff is very professional and hospitable. Though I only did A.1.1 and could not continue further. But it’s a wonderful place to learn. Teachers r really good. The price of the course is too high though. U could learn the basic levels by ur own n then later join at B.1 level here. I had the most amazing batch mates

    I visited this place recently to attend an event and these are my observations; 1. The premise is very well maintained and things are organised. 2. The staff here is well behaved and polite. 3. I visited this place to attend "Long Nights of Literature" and I liked the event very much. 4. This place is at a walking distance from Rajiv Chowk Metro Station, it's around 700 m from station. 5. I will recommend this place to people who want to learn about Spanish Culture, Arts and interested in learning Spanish language.

    Everything in this institute was very good the interiors, lighting, auditorium and AC as well but the only one thing that sucks here is the canteen they have a big menu but coffee is the only thing available to them(today atleast i dont know about other days) but one guy puts a stall outside the gate which is quite good he serves tandoori momos, chaap, paneer tikka and chicken tikka which was awesome

    Highly disappointed with the Institute. I enrolled myself for A1.1 and they have not even provided any certificate. They charge for issuing a certificate for which I have already paid to them. The teacher’s pattern was super weird as we were completely unknown about the language, she started teaching us the sentences and phrase instead of teaching the basic. The teacher didn’t understand English, so it was very complicated for all of us to understand. I would advise everyone please do not enroll in the institute as it is completely wastage of money and time.

    It was a nice and welcoming place. Explored the whole that the institute offers. Has their own library which is filled with books in Spanish, cafe and paintings which is inside the building only which will give you exposure to the Spanish culture. This institute offers courses and classes to learn the language Spanish. They have a team to resolve your queries as well to guide you regarding the course and fee structure, admission process and routine for classes. They have trained teachers for the same. In case you are interested to learn Spanish and your budget matches with the fee structure of this place, you may go ahead.

    I learnt Spanish at IC for about 3.5 years, all the way from A1 to C1, and I count that time as some of the best years of my life which also paved a way for my career. So, to anyone reading these reviews to decide whether you should learn a new language or not, especially Spanish at IC, please read ahead as I say this as both a student and a teacher of Spanish. First, find out if you really have an interest in learning the language and whether or not you're willing to put in the effort. To all those who have written that teachers at IC shouldn't teach in Spanish from the get-go, please realise that you are quite possibly not linguistically inclined, and that is okay. What is not okay is maligning the institute or the teachers or the pedagogy for teaching in the way that is right, just not convenient for you. Yes, there can be a one odd case where you genuinely had a bad experience (I've had mine too, it is quite normal), but that doesn't mean that the entire system is problematic. To those who are truly passionate about learning and speaking Spanish - go for it. This is one of the best places to do it, even better if you can go to the institute and absorb the culture, the vibe, and the ever-growing community that this place has to offer.

    The best place in India to learn Spanish language. Though it may appear to be costly, but in the longer run it will be economical, I feel. The Instituto Cervantes is a non-profit organization founded by the Government of Spain in 1991. Its mission is to promote Spanish language teaching as well as that of Spain’s co-official languages, in addition to fostering knowledge of the cultures of Spanish-speaking countries throughout the world.

    Attended a film festival here loved the building and the movie hall is also very big but there is a huge problem with the cafeteria as they are selling everything at price much much higher than MRP and the staff do not cooperate at all. Also the movie hall is in the basement so we get no signal and cannot buy any coffee etc also with UPI Overall 3/5

    This was my dream to study in Instituto Cervantes one day. The quality of teaching is very high . I was fortunate enough to get some really good Spanish teacher like Diana profe and arka profe. Gustavo sir has improved a lot. But at the same time I got some pretty average teacher which is not expected at such a high level . Cervantes takes a lot of money but sadly they don't think about the students. There is no effects of any feedbacks. Front desk is miserable. Also the top management is only money oriented but the institute still house some of the brilliant native and Indian teacher.. There is no place better than Cervantes to learn Spanish unfortunately we have only one in India and thanks to COVID I got this opportunity

    As being a student at Instituto Cervantes i would suggest that is the best place to learn Spanish language efficiently. This is the great place to learn spanish language and having the most experienced teachers or mentors besides you is the best part. All the teachers are very helpful and make you feel comfortable and would suggest you the best ways to improve in the particular area of learning.

    I am really glad that I joined this institute to learn Spanish . the teachers are really nice and supportive . The facilities are incredible . They guided me so well… moreover IC is kinda costly but in the longer run it is worth going. I started my journey from A1 and it was a great experience with IC. Teachers were well trained and they were very friendly.

    I am a student of Cervantes and I'm in A2.3 level . Mariette oportus fail me in this level , it's ok that I am not doing well but in the whole level why she don't make me aware that u r soo bad in speaking . And we are paying sooo much fees in institute . It's a language and student needs time to learn . The students who are very intelligent they catch very easily . But I think mrs. Marriete oportus just give the class it's not her motive to teach the students . Whenever we ask queries she replies like she is doing favor on us. I get soo much frustrated . She only fail the Students . Not doing efforts with students . She is a native speaker but it doesn't mean that a India easily learn with her . I'm not disclosing my real name here because when I get the same teacher again She will take out her frustration on me. If u don't believe then atleast one time discuss this from the students of September-october batches of A2.3 I think everyone is saying the same thing . PLZZ try to understand it's a language and we are indians we need more attention , a polite teacher not a frustrated lady . Im agree that I was not doing well but in the whole sessions atleast she told me my mistakes where I lack . May be with her help I pass the level at the last day she told me you don't deserve this level . She is right no issue but why she don't tell me in whole level. she fails many students . Students need help with teachers that's why they join institutes if we don't get help politely then how we learn . If it's in institute then it's better to watch you tube videos. Soo disappointed.

    In india, to learn Spanish, nothing can be better than Cervantes. It takes time to learn here. But they have the best faculty and a very big library which have not only books, but DVD Cassettes too. I'm studying here for last 6 months.

    No wonder it's one of the best place to learn Spanish , those who are writing negative reviews needs to get that thing , this is how it works in any class if you go off to learn a language professionally , the teacher would talk in the following language on the very first day , this is how it works & that's what makes u habitual & comfortable with the dialect and rapidity of one's accent so far . Spanish is one the most beautiful romantic language , & sounds so good when spoken right with the right accent.
