Debla Spanish Language School Málaga

I can highly recommend attending Debla to learn Spanish.

They provide high-quality teaching from the very beginning to the very end. Communication is clear, friendly, and fast. The teachers are kind, knowledgeable, and engaging. Lessons are varied and interactive, and the teachers are genuinely curious about our cultures. As a student, you feel very welcome—regardless of your age or Spanish level.

They also offer a wide range of well-organized activities every week, making it easy to meet new people.

The location is also very nice, just by the beach, 20 minutes to walk to the city centre.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with my experience at Debla!

My experience at Debla was awesome! I took a two-week-long C1 intensive course. All three teachers I had had their own unique, full-of-energy teaching styles. The daily walk by the sea from the shared apartment to the school made my stay even more memorable.

I completed two weeks of work experience in this school, and from my perspective, it was a wonderful school. The staff were very supportive and friendly and created an atmosphere that I felt very comfortable in. The school itself isn’t big, but in this case they prioritised quality over quantity. The school has a very bright and airy interior which provides good shelter from the Spanish heat and it has lovely views of sea. Lastly, it’s very well-maintained and I can tell that the teachers take a lot of pride in this school.

All the reviews above are mostly from those who attended for a few weeks for a holiday from Europe. I don't recommend Debla for long-term students or the long-term intensive programme. Classes aren't tailored for long-term students and will often repeat classes in other groups. They don't have staff for visa support and they aren't compassionate to students outside the EU and it made the experience very anxiety-inducing and stressful and made me feel vulnerable. Controlling management with threats to the foreign office for reduced attendance. I spoke with other language school students and their schools were more compassionate and flexible. Surely the safety, health and wellbeing of your students needs to come first. Particularly those who come from outside the EU and don't have the security of home with them. Out of touch completely with student safety and wellbeing.

I am super happy with my experience with Debla! I felt very comfortable here since the atmosphere is great and they not only offer classes, but also amazing activities. The school is located centrally and on the hill just above the beach, it is so beautiful. I very much recommend it, thank you!!
