hey Karine. elelmadrid is a great school for people who are serious about learning but of course they make learning fun as well with in-classroom and extra-curricular activities like field trips and such. it is more expensive than a lot of schools but you get what you pay for. the price-quality ratio is good. they do not accept "kids" (i think the min. age to study there is 18) so you will be pleased with your classmates. i also agree with jules, madrid and spain itself will be your supplemental classroom  saludos, jer...

Hi I would recommend the "Academia Eureka" Many friends have been studied there to their satisfaction, they have great variety of classes at different hours. Contact ACADEMIA EUREKA Good Luck Nava
Age is a matter of mind, if you don't mind it doesn't matter.

only problem is that Eureka has no real age minimum so Karine could be in class with "kids". she did write... quote: What's really important to me is finding a school where I'll be comfortable agewise-I'm 29.

quote: but at the same time am a bit worried that Elemadrid might be a bit too serious
Your classroom learning is going to be serious, so, I don't understand this statement. All language learners know that actual language learning takes place outside of the classroom and that they will have to make the effort to speak the language and learn to give up on saying everything the perfect way, for we learn by making mistakes. I have told my students this before and they see that in the end, true learning comes with letting go of fear and using what you know. They your hands if they have to. The main point is always communication. So, pick a school in Madrid and know that the true learning happens on the streets of Madrid,when you have a chance to practice what you have learned in class. In the classroom, you get a base that will help you to communicate. Shawn
