"Spanish adventure in Nica"

Bojan Mazej, student from Slovenia

My period at the Dariana school was 3 months and i liked it. They are really flexible with your schedule so you can take pause in between to explore the Nica, going to Ometepe or Corn Island for longer.

I had great teacher Gloria Castro, she is really nice, she knows how to explain the topic and is really patient with you. We had such an amazing time together, we laughed, talked a lot in Spanish, went to the coffee shop and to the central market for pastry and drink :)

The school is located close to the centrum so it is everything at your hand.

My homestay wasn’t something what i expected. It was more apartment with three meals per day. I didn’t have that much conversion with them, beside setting for the launch together and sometimes for the dinner, wasn’t much there. Was expecting more interaction with them.

Beside that they were nice and we had also time for smile :)
The apartment was clean and the sheets were changed on weekly basis, what is pretty amazing.

"A nice teacher, the lessons are not made for travellers."

Lisette van Geest, student from Netherlands

I had a course for one week. My purpose was to learn the Spanish street talk, so the easy talk. The first two days I learned to introduce myself, colors, months, days of the week en the numbers. The third day we start with grammar. That was a bit too difficult for me, because the explanation was in Spanish and my Spanish wasn't good enough. I ask the teacher to go back to the basics because my target was to safe myself with Spanish on street, public transport and restaurant. She found the grammar very important so we were not on one line.

To learn Spanish I think that one week is not enough. I spoke to other travelers and some Spanish schools offer the lessons on another way and go with you to the market etc. I think that will help you more and you learn the basics more easily. I don't recommend Dariana Spanish School when you have just one or two weeks.

"Good school"

jacqueline van den Bosch

I liked the grammar book and I enjoyed the teacher and her flexibility. Sometimes I had trouble getting contact with the owner, who was apparently the only one who could answer my questions. If only other people at the school could answer my questions this would not be a problem, just an advice.
