So recently I spent a few weeks at Escuela Monalban in Granada,
Spain. I booked through GoLearnTo so that I could do rock climbing
as well as a week of language lessons (I think I might have heard
about that on this forum). It was fantastic and I probably learned
as much, if not more, in the 15 hours of morning tuition than I had
from six months of my own self-directed teaching, just from being
immersed in it. I had to complete a language grammar test before I
went so they could gauge my level and I was paired with a German
girl who had been studying there for three weeks already. The level
of the class was perfect for where I was at with my learning on
Rocket Language. We had two different teachers who took different
approaches but the subjects were consistent throughout their
lessons. Amongst other topics I learnt about irregular verb
conjugations (specifically the 50:50 irregular verbs), using
frequencies e.g. todos los/las…, casi siempre, a veces, cada etc,
reflexive verbs, the pretérito perfecto tense and direct and
indirect object pronouns specifically because I had been struggling
to get to grips with them on here. On my return I was able to
understand so much more of the RL conversations/lessons and flew
through my next couple of modules. I wish I could have stayed
longer (many of the other students were there for weeks and months
as graduates or gap year student! I would highly recommend it as a
way of furthering your study!! And if you are ever in Granada,
Spain, definitely look up the school!
