Real opinions from
our students
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!
Of course, the learning itself is the most important part of going to a school, but what made the difference for me was the amazing team.
The professors really take the time to understand each student’s weaknesses and work on them in a smooth, encouraging way.
Beyond the classes, just walking through the door every day, being greeted by the whole team (not only the professors), made the place feel like home for a while.
Truly a welcoming and professional environment.
Highly recommended!
As a former student at Debla, I can confidently say that this is one of the best language learning experiences I’ve ever had. From the amazing administrative team to the outstanding teachers, everything about Debla exceeded my expectations.
I spent three weeks at DEBLA this past December, from the 2nd to the 20th, taking the super-intensive course from 9 AM to 3 PM. I joined the A2 level class, and it was truly an incredible experience. The atmosphere was dynamic, professional, and incredibly motivating.
When I first arrived, I struggled to understand Spanish, and speaking felt like an impossible task. But thanks to the incredible support from my teachers – Amaya, Juan Antonio, Encarna, Almu, and the other teacher who were equally professional. I gradually gained the confidence to speak fluently with native speakers. Each teacher had a unique teaching style, which kept the classes engaging and enjoyable.
What sets Debla apart is the variety of experiences they offer outside the classroom. We practiced speaking with locals through quick interviews, which was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in the language. I also participated in a Flamenco course, and the dance teacher was truly professional. Debla provides plenty of activities beyond the lessons, making the learning experience even more enriching and enjoyable.
I can’t wait to return to Málaga and continue my Spanish studies at Debla. If you’re looking for a place to learn Spanish in a supportive, professional, and fun environment, Debla is the perfect choice.
Situated on a mountain, the school offered stunning views of Malaga that added a refreshing touch to our classes. The classrooms were spacious and well-equipped, providing a comfortable learning environment.
What I loved most about Debla was the engaging activities they organized. From interactive group discussions to cooking Paella, we had plenty of opportunities to practice Spanish beyond the classroom.
The teachers were really friendly and approachable. They created a supportive atmosphere where I felt comfortable asking questions and receiving personalized feedback. Their guidance helped me improve my language skills significantly.
While the placement within classes could be better, with different levels of students, the school was open to addressing any concerns. So, if you feel you’re in the wrong level, don’t hesitate to speak up!
Debla also arranged weekly city center tours for new students, allowing us to explore Malaga’s cultural treasures while practicing our Spanish.
It was an amazing language learning experience in Malaga. The beautiful school, engaging activities, and friendly teachers made my journey truly memorable. I highly recommend it!

ABOUT THE COURSES
A Spanish immersion program is an experience that combines Spanish classes with daily life in
Spain. It is not only about attending lessons, but about living the language every day through real
situations, cultural experiences and social interaction. At Debla, immersion is based on face-to-face
Spanish courses combined with cultural activities and optional accommodation.
The main difference is what happens outside the classroom. A regular Spanish course focuses on
lessons, while an immersion program adds constant contact with the language, real-life practice,
cultural exposure and social interaction, helping many students progress more naturally and
confidently.
Spanish immersion programs are ideal for adults who want a practical way to learn Spanish, people
staying in Spain for a period of time, learners who prefer real-life language use and those who do
not want a rigid academic environment. Immersion works especially well for adults who value
culture and a relaxed learning pace.
It depends on personal goals. After two weeks, most students already feel the benefits of
immersion. One to three months is ideal for solid progress, while longer stays allow deeper
integration into Spanish life and culture.
Yes, accommodation plays an important role in immersion. Living in Spain allows students to
practice Spanish outside the classroom, hear the language every day and connect more deeply
with local culture. Many students combine their courses with host family or shared apartment
accommodation.
Cultural activities help students lose the fear of speaking, understand cultural context, learn real
vocabulary and enjoy the learning process. Visits, excursions and social activities are a natural part
of immersion because language is best learned by living it.
Yes. Immersion works at all levels, including beginners. Classes are adapted to each student’s
level, and daily exposure to Spanish helps improve comprehension, build confidence and become
familiar with real spoken Spanish.
At Debla there is no fixed product called an immersion program. Immersion is created by combining
Spanish courses, optional accommodation, cultural activities and personal support. This flexible
approach allows each student to design their own immersion experience according to their goals
and lifestyle.
