8 SPANISH SCHOOL Julia Figliuolo I recently started going to the Carlos V Language School and I really like it. I like that we are few students in class and make better use of the time. I also like that my teacher is a native speaker and she only speaks in her language with us. I chose the Carlos V Language School because of recommendations from friends who are studying English there and liked it a lot. The facilities are nice, everything is new and there are computers in the classroom. The team seems very qualified and everybody’s very friendly, both at the reception and in the classroom (teacher).
