Ursula

67 years old, retired, from Bavaria (Germany)

“Studying at Debla was an exceptional experience. The teachers are very motivated, well-organized, and friendly, which makes every class dynamic and easy to follow. I really appreciated the perfect balance between grammar and conversation: two hours to build a strong foundation and another two to practice the language naturally.

The small class sizes created a warm and familiar atmosphere where everyone was involved and learning together. The school is located in a beautiful spot, just a few minutes from the sea, with bright classrooms and terraces offering magnificent views. I always felt welcome, like part of the Debla family, and I can definitely recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Spanish in a friendly and high-quality environment.”

Marco

69 years old, retired engineer, from Milan (Italy)

“My experience at Debla was truly inspiring. From the very first day, I noticed how professional and passionate the teachers were. The lessons had an excellent rhythm, combining grammar and conversation in a way that helped me feel more confident speaking Spanish every day.

What I enjoyed the most was the friendly and international atmosphere: sharing the classroom with people from all over the world made the learning process even more enjoyable. The location of the school is also unique — just a short walk from the sea, with bright terraces overlooking Málaga. I felt not only that I was learning the language, but also becoming part of a community.

For me, this was much more than a course; it was a cultural and human experience that I would recommend to anyone my age.”

Annemieke

59 years old, teacher, from Utrecht (Netherlands)

“Studying Spanish at Debla was one of the best decisions I have made after retirement. The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly warm and attentive, which made me feel comfortable and motivated from the very beginning. I really appreciated the balance between grammar and conversation — it gave me the confidence to speak more freely, even outside the classroom.

The school itself has such a special atmosphere: small, personal, and with stunning views from the terraces that made every coffee break a joy. I also loved meeting other students of my age from different countries; we quickly became friends and shared many wonderful moments together in Málaga. It was a perfect combination of learning, culture, and friendship.”
