Hi Gemma,

I invite you to please post an advert in the Language classes in Madrid section

Thank you

Hola, Gemma. One option is MOOC classes. I just finished Español Salamanca A2 through MiriadaX and highly recommend it. This course is not interactive though, but it is free. Coursera is another MOOC platform.

I understand your wanting to hang out with English speakers in Madrid but I would suggest that you limit that handicap. Pretend that you've been married off to a Spanish prince and that now have no choice but to learn the language.

¡Buena suerte!

Haha thank you for the advice, I like the imagery!

That course look good, thank you so much

Hola Gemma  :

I have just seen your question. I teach Spanish. If you still havenŽt picked a school... this is my website: [link moderated]

In case this interests you I am available. If you choose another one, wish you the best luck.

Hasta luego.

Hi Gemma, 
I work in Oneills Irish bar in the city centre and we organise a bi -weekly intercambio de idiomas (language exchange) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and a brilliant way to meet new people where you can put your Spanish to work straight away. We're always looking for native english speakers as there are obviously a lot of Spanish people looking to practice their english we also organise other social activities such as cinema night, day trips etc..If you're interested in checking it out, just let me know and I'll give you all the details. Good luck with the move to Madrid.
Regards, Mark.

Hi there, I took a course at La Aventura Española Madrid in the Salamanca barrio in Madrid. Amazing teachers and a great atmosphere I would definitely recommend it...

They also do cultural activities etc outside of the lessons so you meet lots of people!

Hola, Emma. What book(s) do they use? I've bought Gramática de uso del español B1-B2 by Luis Aragonés at Casa del libro (there are 3 locations in Madrid) for 18,65€. It's okay but it doesn't seem to include Complemento (In)Directo or (In)Transitive Verbs. Hmmm. One thing that classes and/or teachers offer beyond books is how to BE Spanish -- what they have been through, to get to why they are the way they are today.

I know the EOI and this one is very nice. You should check the webpage.

A friend of mine who did his exchange semester in Madrid attended this school as well and liked it a lot.

Si estás hablando, la probabilidad existe que el español con quien hablas se ha muerto.

If you are talking, the possibility exists that the Spaniard with whom you are talking has died.

It turns out that the book Gramática de uso del español B1-B2 does include Complemento (In)Directo. It/they goes/go by the name Pronombres Personales de Objeto (Unidad 27 a 30). In dámelo (give it to me), da is the verb (give), me is the Indirect Object (¿a quién? to whom?), and lo (¿qué? what?) is the Direct Object (it). The i and n in ¿a quién? help me remember INdirect.

Hi Gemma,
I recommend you AIL Madrid. It's a really great school with an extensive offer of Spanish language classes and fun afternoon activities in the evening. Check it out!

Hi Gemma,

There are plenty of language schools in Madrid. I recommend you to visit a private institute. Some Universities offer classes, too, but the class sizes are rather big with 20+ students per class. I personally made good experience with Ailola Madrid - ailolamadrid.com. I heard Sampere - sampere.com is also goo but more expensive. The biggest schools are probably Don Quijote - donquijote.org and Enforex - enforex.com which also have schools in other cities. I heard mixed reviews about them simply because they are pretty big and for some may be to impersonal.

I can only recommend you to speak as much Spanish as possible without falling into the trap to making friends only with foreigners and speaking English. Try to find Spanish friends. It's like a Spanish course for free ;-)
