Learning spanish in Madrid
by oranje
You want to learn spanish and you are searching for a good school?
I did so in 1999 and stayed at the language school EUREKA for two weeks.
It was great!!! Very friendly people, excellent teachers. I have learned a lot in these two weeks and met people there from all over the world.
