Best Sewing Classes Madrid Near Me

Wairimu Magdaline: Beautiful country

Loreto Martínez Alía: It is the best sewing academy!! Teachers Laura and Karu know a lot about everything, and they are very patient. Thanks to them I have been able to make the most beautiful project a reality: a wedding dress for my best friend, and another for a guest. Totally recommended ♥️

Susana: The classes at Historias Hiladas are the best I've attended so far. Caru is a very good teacher and very creative. In these classes I have learned to make lingerie and I love to wear my underwear made by me :) You won't regret it!!

Pilar Hinojosa Coarasa: A perfect academy to start sewing from scratch! I didn't even know how to thread the needle and now I do some really cool projects. Very professional and close teachers. A great atmosphere to spend the afternoon 😊

Saray Pedraz Ramirez: After looking at several sewing academies, in the end I opted for Historias Hiladas, and it was a success!!! I've been with Karu and Laura for a year, and I couldn't be happier, I started from scratch as a patatero and this summer I've been able to wear several clothes and above all they've given me the security of doing things at home. They are super patient, charming and have made things a lot easier for me with my schedules at work and the atmosphere at the academy is very nice. For me it is a disconnection from the crazy daily routine. Thanks girls, and I've already booked a place for next year and a summer to think about new projects, get ready Karu :P

Miriam: I had no idea how to sew, but thanks to Karu and Laura I have managed to make my own projects. I'm delighted!! They advise, guide, teach and most importantly, you feel at home. I will continue with them in September.

Carla G: I did the Mara bralette course with Karu from @Studiocostura and I learned a lot! It is the first time that I dared with a lingerie garment and I liked seeing how the piece was constructed. Karu had many options when it came to choosing materials and even helped me step by step with fittings to try and get the size right before cutting the gorgeous stretch lace. You leave the class with your garment ready and on if you want! If you like sewing, have experience using the sewing machine and want to learn something new then this is your course. Thank you Karo!

Nerea Jiménez Funcia: After having gone to two particular cases to learn how to use a sewing machine (I did not know anything) I can say and I am delighted, with Laura I went to the classes and I decided to make a beautiful Totebag in the course of 4 hours with Karu. Surely the thing does not end here and we continue to see, because it is sooooooooooooooooooo to learn! 🤗

Nuria Pérez Méndez: I recently attended the introductory sewing course and the truth is that I couldn't be happier! Sewing is a complex task but thanks to teacher Laura everything seems easy. I have learned a lot and I liked it so much that I will take some intensive classes😀

Gabriela Fdz: I followed the course online since I live in Denmark and it was a great experience! Super nice teacher and the course contents were easy to learn :)

Nuria de Salvador: It has been an intense course from which I have come back eager to improve. The only thing I regret is being so far away and not being able to continue attending weekly, and more calmly. Otherwise everything perfect. A great atmosphere.

Mari Carmen: I am going to the course with my daughter and we are enjoying it a lot, Mirtha is a charm, very patient and very kind so I enjoy it doubly. We bought a second-hand knitting machine from Tricotosas and that's it, and for the moment it's going great, it's very good for us to practice what we've learned at home. Thank you Mirtha for your patience and kindness

Inma Barea: After a week doing the intensive course in the mornings and the card course some afternoons, I can only say that I am delighted and extremely grateful, thanks to Mirtha, she is a super professional with a lot of experience, kind, friendly and a very good teacher. I have learned a lot and it has been a great experience, I will surely repeat, I recommend it 200%. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🙏🙏

MariaTeresa Granada: I recommend this school 100%, Mirtha is a beauty and a very good professional...

Mª JESUS VELASCO GARCIA: The machine is very good and the teacher Mirtha is a charm. Gives very good explanations. Thank you so much for your patience.

svetlana Lezhneva: The company is very good. You have to make an appointment to see the machines. And the truth is that they explain everything very well. There are courses and you can see that they are professionals. What I don't like is technical service. I wanted the technician to come to my house to install the additional border and to check both borders (I bought second-hand knitting machines and not from this company). He installed the frontura in 15 minutes he has given a short summary of the machines without doing a test point test or anything like that, he explained the handling of the additional frontura above and nothing more. I told him that it seemed to me that the machine was failing (I'm a novice and I wasn't sure if it was a defect or something else) and he told me that I have to find out from the person who teaches me how to work with the knitting machine. Total 15 minutes to install the border, two minutes of the information above on the operation of the additional border, one minute of description of the visual state of the borders and 50€ out of my pocket. Now I'm looking for another mechanic to do the actual test to see how it's working and if any problems need to be fixed.

Isabel Peña: I find myself doing the Knitting Course from Chile, being the first time I decided to take a course in this modality I was scared not knowing what to expect, I just wanted to knit and understand my machine, which was super difficult for me because the pandemic issue find someone or seek information on how to use it, for which I am eternally grateful that of course I recommend Tricotosas y Punto 100% they have helped me a lot and their videos are so clear that even a child understands it. Greetings from Chile.

Mioara Mariana Muresan Ciuciuc: I bought the machine without seeing it and without knowing how it works. While I was in the presentation workshop I fell in love with the machine (which is a bomb) and the teacher who is a saint, very professional, very patient and extraordinary. Thank you for clarifying all my doubts and being there. I recommend Tricotosas & Punto.

Bernardo Kaiser Ruiz Del Olmo: Ok

Lourdes Ibiricu: If you want to buy a quality lining, not synthetic and in a wide variety of colours, this is your place; For that alone it is worth the visit, although they have other types of fabrics, some unique

David Rubio: Great modern and old fabrics, very nice owners

Teresa Dal Re: Very good experience. Impeccable customer service. Highlight the skill with which the gentleman cut the piece of cloth that he needed perfectly. What a good professional. The truth.

pilar tevar: They have many beautiful fabrics at a great price. I always buy there and I always repeat.

Julieta Galli: Small, very neighborhood, fair fabrics. But highly recommended for interlining. They have all kinds, knitted, raised, other 2 thicker interlinings that are great for tailoring, shirts. Good price

Elvira Ospina Sánchez: Good service and better prices in the area. The price difference is considerable compared to other stores: in my case I bought several meters of waterproof fabric at € 11 per mt when in other stores they charged me € 17 for exactly the same. Of the quality of the raincoat that I bought I can only say: unbeatable.

MÍRIAM CANTERA: For many years, I have found specialized material for my profession there. Always well attended and when I have had doubts, I have found help from her. A place of reference

Elo Alvarez: One of the few fabric stores that are left. They guide you very well and have a large assortment. It brings back many memories since as a child I used to come with my mother. thank you so much for your attention

Theresa Pfeiffenberger: Transparency to doubt - be careful !! I participated in the scholarship competition for a master's degree this year. According to the briefing, the winners should be published on the website on March 31, 2022. However, nothing appeared on that day, so I called the master's office a day later to inquire. The woman on the phone sounded like she didn't know anything about it and after 15min on hold she assured me "the winners will be announced this morning". Unfortunately, I could not find an entry again, which is why I asked by mail, they should send the link to the page, because I already doubted that I'm just too stupid to find the right page. The answer was surprising: There is no official link and I am not among the winners - there is no funding for the course I have chosen this year. So why was I able to apply for it in the first place? The whole affair seemed a bit non-transparent to me - please be careful with applying at the IED.

Maicol Herrera: I made in 2018 the master Fashion Management and and I was surprised by the lack of technology and new teaching methodology. In a few words, it was like going back to the fashion school at the beginning of the century, sitting in a chair to listen to theory where the most technological thing they offered was a PDF. For that price I recommend looking for another school!

G D: Studying at IED Madrid was a great experience :) If you are looking for a professional fashion school I would certainly recommend it !!

Cristina Montesinos: I went here in 2007. In hind sight there are 3 huge red flags. 1-The program was so badly organized the students filed a formal complaint, on a specific class. The teacher dis get laid off but the class was never replaced and she later admitted that she they had insisted that she should teach it as students wouldnt be aware of her lack of knowledge in the subject matter. 2- I am from the US and now several years later I need a transcipt. The told me that they do not keep records of grades and also cant generate transcripts. 3-This is a for profit school. The dont want to educate. They are seeing it as a business

Regina Cuadra: For that price I recommend looking for another school

John Gutierrez: Great place to learn art! Not workshops though full on Master's programs and the like.

Alberto Ballarin: Positive: ProfessionalismGreat design school!

TERESA GUZMAN BELLIDO: My experience was not very good… In general, my class was not very happy with the Product Management Master. We had to complain about many problems (disorganization, practices, schedule changes... etc). After COVID, blended classes lost a lot of quality and there was chaos in the organization of classes and schedules. There were no trips nor was there an internship offer. The product master is very focused on purchases and very few people were able to do internships according to what we were studying. The teachers are also not good (many ex-students). I think that for the price it has, which is very expensive, it does not offer quality education nor does it give you job security. They sell you a lot of smoke.

Sofía Cuevas García: I enrolled in the Fashion Design degree at IED Madrid last year. Since the start of the course, September 2021 has been a constant disappointment. The management of the center leaves a lot to be desired. To begin with, in my class it was difficult that one day we were 6 people in class, and not because people did not go, since we were only 10 people on the list and they did absolutely nothing to be able to redirect us to other classes. This, apart from the social part, affected the performance of both mine and my classmates, the fact of being only 5 people in class makes you stagnate and do not want to give more of yourself, said by teachers of the center. Absences, regulations that the IED Madrid has which always tell you that it is imposed by the community of Madrid when they imposed it since people previously were absent a lot, that you sprain yourself and take classes online, that they run over you, that they have to operate… ALL are unjustified absences, they do not care exactly what circumstance you are in, they leave you unevaluated. They are only interested in money, I paid for the 2022-2023 course and I realized that I do not want to continue paying 12,000 euros, which for me is a lot to a center with these conditions, when not even 20 days had passed since making the deposit, they told me that they did not return all the money to me, that the tuition (2,500 euros) was kept by them. From a course that starts in September. All this was in June. Charge for something that I have not even studied. of shame Finally, add that a private university, with the money it gets from each student, is not enough to put a cafeteria in the entire center? Really, complete disappointment, I promise that going to the IED Madrid was my dream and in less than a year everything has been dismantled.

Cristina Vélez: Mariana is amazing! I have been working with her for a number of years and I love everything she does! Super professional, quick turn around, bilingual, unbeatable prices and she is so nice! I had a sweatshirt that I have been wanting to get cropped for a long time and I dropped it off and she had it ready for me in 3 days. I love the finished product! Muchas gracias Mariana!

Alyson Garrido: I had a wonderful experience with Mariana. She altered 3 dresses and a jumpsuit for me and all had different requirements - shortening, new zipper, taking up straps. It was a very easy and pleasant experience. The work was done impeccably and she was super responsive and speedy. Note - She works from her home, so an appointment is necessary. I neglected to read the 'about section' and was very grateful she could fit me in. I'll very happily return!

Nora Ward: Mariana is absolutely amazing! She is so accommodating and personable. She speaks both English and Spanish and helps you feel confident with the alterations she makes in your clothes. She says that her hems will be done in a week, but it is always much sooner than that. I highly recommend Mariana :) Ive been seeing her since 2021 & feel so happy in the pants she has hemmed for me. You must go to her!! She is a true gem & so kind & TALENTED. Services: General embroidery , Alterations , Women's clothing alterations , Pants alterations , Custom tailoring , Hem repairs

Inna Alpeeva: Mariana is professional and very nice in person. In addition, she speaks excellent English. I had three pieces to adjust for a better fit: jeans, a tee and a sweater. Mariana made them all in less than a week. I really liked the result and the reasonable price. I'm going to continue to work with her.

Lisa ward: I have gone to Mariana to fix a few of my clothing pieces and would highly reccomend her! She has given new life to some outfits I thought I'd never get to wear again. Also the prices are very reasonable and she's always done in good time. I'm very happy trusting her with all my clothes!

Quinten Convents De Koninck: Great service! I'm living in Madrid for a couple of months and only have a certain amount of pants with me; one of them needed a small reparation and after contacting Mariana, she immediately took care of this (for a very good price!), in a brilliant way; looks like new! She is also very fluent in English, which makes it easier for someone who is just learning Spanish. I would 100% suggest you to go to Mariana!

Isabella Skovira: Mariana recently repaired split at the pocket stress-point of a favorite pair of jeans. Not only is the work beautifully done (from the outside you can barely tell there was a repair), but working with Mariana was very pleasant. It was easy to schedule a time to meet with her and her location in Lavapies is easily accessible. Mariana speaks English and Spanish, which made doing business with her very easy for a guiri like me! Her prices are very reasonable for the work that she does. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mariana at Arreglos Ropa Madrid.

Claire Vittori: Mariana did an amazing job altering a bridesmaid dress for me. The turnaround time was so quick and the dress is absolutely perfect! She also speaks English and is very professional. I will be sure to use her services again in the future :)Service: Alterations

Emma Porter: Mariana repaired and reinforced wear and tear in a bunch of pairs of pants I have, she was quick, affordable, and I’m super happy with the repairs she made! I can wear each pair of pants 2-3 times longer now thanks to her. Highly recommend her services!Services: Alterations, Pants alterations

James Larcey: Great art shop with a good range of products. Very knowledgeable staff.

يوزع كورة: happy

belen YESTE PEDREGOSA: I discovered this fine arts company very recently and I am delighted with the materials that are precious and different, they have a lot of variety and very good quality, with very good prices. The entire team is super efficient and attentive to everything you need, especially Javier, who is very helpful and professional, providing you with everything you need. I will continue buying, thank you very much

honestguy77 !: Despite being very far from my house, it was my school's drawing stationery from when I was a teenager, when I had to buy something for my daughters, I took the pleasure of driving over. That traditional shop in such a nice neighborhood, I love it

Eva msc: Hello. I love the store, I have bought several figures to paint, several meninas ... An elephant ... Wooden boxes to "tune" and make boxes for infusions for gifts ... They advise you perfectly in this case Alejandra assisted me, many Thank you!! You are a sweetheart.

Pilar Engelmo: I have known the headquarters store for years, from the beginning I liked it a lot, they have guided me in everything I have ordered. Both Javier and the girls who are in Topaz are always ready to clarify my doubts. Difficult things have been framed for me and they have come out perfect. I learn a lot when I go shopping, I like it because I always come up with new ideas and new projects.

Carlos Martinez Perez: I wanted to redecorate furniture and not only do they have many types of treatments and paints but they also advise you very well. They are very nice and friendly, they know the product they sell and they enjoy their work. They beat me!!

Isabel D.D: I have been pleasantly surprised and delighted with the store. They have infinity of materials to do all kinds of jobs, plus there are things made with which gives you ideas of the finishes you can give to your own jobs. But above all I liked it is the treatment received FROM TEN. Greetings.

Borja Goitia: I went this morning to buy paints for my daughter, to do pyrography, and they spent 20 minutes explaining how to do it. Step by step,... and with an illusion. I give them a 10. It shows that they control their business a lot and they like what they do..., and they transmit it that way. All the clients with whom I have coincided, have left delighted..., and they will return....., just like me...

Carmen Pereira Pedreira: I am very happy with the arrangement of my machine, the store is very welcoming and Mila is charming. Highly recommended. We will buy a dream sewing machine again. Thank you!

Well-being is breathed, due to its light, color and peace inside. My sincere congratulations go to you Mila. And good luck on your long walk.

Ana Barrio Díaz: If there were more stars I would give them. I needed an urgent arrangement for a wedding, and I found two wonderful people who helped me without thinking. THANK YOU

Keshia Wines: My experience studying abroad with Estudio Sampere was more than I expected. The teachers were amazing and made sure we understood the material by encouraging us to interact and review with our peers. Wouldn't choose any other school to study Spanish with. I hope that if anyone is considering attending they go ahead and make the decision to go. You won't be disappointed.

Holly Cordray: I had a marvelous experience with Estudio Sampere Madrid. Over a month, the program improved my Spanish skills immensely, and I also had the opportunity to explore the city and other regions of Spain. The best part of my time at Estudio Sampere was my host placement: my host was incredibly kind and welcoming, and more than two years later, we still talk almost every day. As a college student, I highly, highly recommend Estudio Sampere Madrid!

Ananya Tiwari: I joined the evening classes a couple years ago and these classes definitely helped me get a better understanding of Spanish. I did not really know how to speak Spanish and had just moved to Spain for work. I managed to talk to the people at Studio Sampere and they immediately found me a class to join as soon as possible which was great. The teaching was also very professional and learning with other students made it easier to practise.

Ann Lewis: I have twice followed 50+ Spanish courses at Estudio Sampere and was very impressed each time by the quality of the experience. The teaching was of a consistently high standard, excursions were excellent and the arranged accommodation was completely satisfactory. I would strongly recommend Estudio Sampere. They are a small organisation who take personal and supportive care of their students. Ann Lewis

Karan Bozkurt: I was diverted to Sampere by a friend of mine who took 6months of Spanish classes with them. I personally took private classes from Aida and Raquel every weekend for about 4months. Also have been in contact with Alicia throughout my course. They all were extremely helpful, very friendly and professional at the same time. Both my teachers had a customized approach for my needs. Very structured teaching method and easy to digest, with enough repetition and practice. Studio manager would also call me once a month to follow up. I had to quit in the middle for personal reasons and I was refunded the remaining course fee with zero hassle. I genuinely think good people are managing and working in this place. Good as in person, and very good in their profession. That’s a rare combination.

Penelope Harley: My son and I have been part of the Estudio SAMPERE family in Madrid for over five years. We have returned for classes many times from London during school holidays. I always love my group classes. Estudio provides superb individual lessons for my son. Estudio is unfailingly helpful and efficient to deal with, including offering advice on travel and accommodation. We have missed the team very much during these last months and really hope we can return soon.

Rebecca Powelson: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, ValueI had an incredible experience at Estudio Sampere. I live in New York City and was fortunate enough to spend a month in Madrid improving my Spanish. The materials were great, instructors were fabulous (especially Ado) and I felt that my language skills really improved. I hope to return another time!

Alex Bale: I’ve been lucky enough to attend an intensive one month course at Estudio Sampere in Madrid about 11 years ago. What can I say? Its been an AMAZING experience, one of the nicest of my life so far. They offered me an accommodation in a very central shared flat, not far from the school, with other international students. The teachers and the staff were super friendly and they provided me with all the exercises books and anything I needed to progress with my learning. The location was stunning: just a few steps away from the gorgeous Parque del Retiro, where I was spending most of my free time between classes. They were also organising extra activities such as day journeys to Valencia, drinks, social moments to share with the other students/teachers, and so on. I already knew some Spanish before starting my course, but I have to say that during those 30 days my language skills boosted in no time, especially pronunciation and new vocabulary. The difference I noticed between the boring traditional university classes and Estudio Sampere was that with them I learnt practical, daily expressions I could use in my daily life. After leaving the school I decided to move from Italy (my home country) to London, where I still use my Spanish every day for work and in my personal life. I’d love to go back to study with Estudio Sampere one day. If I only had the time I used to have 11 years ago.... :) I would definitely recommend Estudio Sampere to everyone who’s in need to learn or to improve their Spanish knowledge!

Anthony Faulkner: The staff here is incredible! They're very friendly, professional, and they ensure that the students are very well taken care of. The classes are fun and the professors keep the content highly engaging. I highly recommend attending if you wish to improve your Spanish or even just wish to learn more about Spanish history/culture. Even if you speak little Spanish, they will meet you at your level.

Vienna: Make sure to visit early, on Sunday I went at about 11am and there was few visitors there. I found out later that there was a long queue outside because it was free from 12:30. The Picasso Gallery is not allowed to take photos, which is very unfriendly. There are not many guides in the gallery and if you don't research beforehand you could get lost and walk much more than you expected. Still, it's well worth a visit.

Irwin Mier: One of the most famous art museums in Europe, the Reina Sofia has iconic works of modern art from famous painters such as Dali and Picasso. Guernica even has its own room! Other modern artists have pretty impressive art pieces hanging on the walls of this museum as well. The halls are spacious and the building itself is quite large. It’s a good place to spend a few hours in. There was a long line to buy tickets, so I simply stood outside and opened their website on my phone. I bought my tickets right away and with that, I entered the museum without waiting in that long line. Buy your tickets online if you can.

Paul S: I arrived at 10 am and left at 2:00 pm. The museum is enormous so plan on at least three hours to go through it. Magnificent museum in a beautiful building. Both Modern and classical paintings displayed, including Picasso’s “Guernica” in addition, unique exhibitions covering political repression in Latin America and the fight for freedom around the world. Extensive Spanish history rooms, I could of used even more time!

Jen S: The best contemporary art museum I’ve been to. It’s ginormous and I couldn’t go through the whole building. The exhibition rooms don’t end. It was confusing navigating the museum. The 2nd floor had the famous paintings from Picasso, Dali and Miro. Was not allowed to take photos of those paintings unfortunately. The temporary exhibits were fantastic too. If you can, come visit more than once. Definitely need multiple visits to absorb the whole gallery.

Detjona Muco: Great experience. One of the hugest museums ever been. Be prepared to walk miles through galleries inside the museum. Surrealistic and realistic art galleries. The most important, on Wednesday it had free visiting hours for anyone from 19:00-21:00. No need to pre-reserve online. You just take the free ticket and enjoy the experience.

Octavian Matei: It is a very beautiful and large museum. I really liked the expos ( Picasso, Dali, others and a lot of 'Tat' art), because it displays a variety of styles and types of art. It has 3 floors with art and a fourth floor with a panoramic view What I didn't like was the design of the museum, because if you don't speak spanish, you will get a little lost. In conclusion, I really recommend this establishment.

Adams_coffee: An incredible museum and a must go if you’re in the city. The museum is a bit of a maze but after a few minutes you’ll figure it out. Amazing architecture and of course, Guernica is just a stunning piece of art (and history). Must go.

Anca-Raluca Popescu: Very interesting museum, I think if you are interested in this kind of art you should take you time and really read about everything and maybe if you have time watch some of the short movies playing. Reminded me of The Centre Pompidou in Paris. You can also see some Picasso and Dali paintings. The entry is free from 19 to 21, but you should definitely take the free ticket online as there are 2 separate lines and the one for the people with tickets is shorter and moves way faster.

Rose: Fantastic artwork, the different rooms are well laid out and wasn’t too crowded at 11am but 2 hours later when I came out, massive queue! I like the fact that they have so many different modern art and the artists are quite varied.

Kevin F: I would highly recommend Tilde Madrid to any adult serious about taking a Spanish language course! This was my first experience in such a course (I'm a beginner and did 4 weeks of intensive between August and September 2022), and it definitely met and often exceeded my expectations as a beginner. I'm glad that I chose Tilde Madrid. When I first started looking for a school to do an intensive class, I noticed a handful of schools that had excellent ratings on Google maps. In fact, I almost signed up for a different school. But, after reading some of the negative reviews of the others, it seemed to me that many of the other schools in the area are predominantly aimed at high-school or college-aged learners. The pictures they post on their websites seemed to confirm this. Of even more concern, some may incentivize students to post positive reviews. Then, there was Tilde which touts itself as one designed for adult learners. As a 35 year old beginner in Spanish, I would rather learn in a environment of motivated adults than in a class full of high schoolers sent overseas by their parents for the summer or college students more concerned about socializing than learning. From this standpoint, Tilde was awesome! The students there during my stay ranged from retirement age to my age and came from a variety of countries - the UK, Germany, Switzerland, the US. I very much enjoyed the diversity of age and nationality. The other factor that led me to choose Tilde was that the guaranteed class-size was smaller than other schools. I thought this would be important for getting adequate speaking experience. For whatever reason, when I was there, I only ever had 1 other classmate which I thought was perfect. Now to things that Tilde does really well. First, the location of the school is amazing, minutes away from the Palacio Real and Plaza Mayor, right in the heart of the city. I enjoyed walking to class every day, but it's also only a few minutes from the Opera metro stop. Next, and perhaps most importantly, I found everyone from the teachers to the administrators to be very friendly and welcoming throughout my 4 weeks there. The professors are professional, yet very friendly and fun to talk with. Shout-out to the teachers I had during my weeks there: Carmen, Marga, and Elsa! Each was attentive, engaged, and seemed eager to help us learn. They were always on time and came prepared with learning activities, but were also flexible enough to just allow time for us to speak which as a beginner takes time. In general, I thought there was a great balance between conversation, grammar, and vocabulary in classes. For the intensive class, I had two 1.5 hour blocks per day in addition to the morning tea. One block seemed to have more of a focus on grammar and the other more on conversation, but in each, there was plenty of time for us to practice speaking if we desired. The morning tea idea is a really cool one. Every morning at 9 am, one of the directors, either Lola or Pilar, sits down with everyone currently at the school, usually 4-8 students, and chats about the news from the newspaper or the TV. I liked this because it expanded my vocabulary to include things from current events and because it exposed me to higher levels of Spanish learners and let me get to know everyone at the school a bit. There is free coffee and tea and the school puts out some small snacks like biscuits in the mid-morning which is a nice gesture. Finally, I found the free cultural activities to be really good. These occur twice a week and are either tours through neighborhoods of Madrid or to the major museums in Madrid. Each last 1.5 hours. Most of the tours when I was there were guided by Sonia Fernandez Matesanz who was an extraordinary guide and somehow managed to convey super interesting facts and history in Spanish to a newb like me. That said, I think the higher level learners also really enjoyed the tours. All in all, I don't hesitate to give Tilde Madrid a 5/5 star rating and would pick them again if I were to return for another course.

keith dunder: Great School!. I attended Tilde for 4 weeks , in the intensive course 4 hours per day , in Jan and Feb 2018. It is a wonderful Spanish learning environment for adults. The faculty are very experienced , and attuned to the individual level and needs of each student; the classes are very small, allowing for and promoting individual progress. And it is a tremendous amount of fun, so much so that you don't always appreciate how much you are learning. I had a distant background studying Spanish, but had not taken a class for over 30 years. By the third week, I had people speaking Spanish in my dreams!

Dragana Vagic: Learning Spanish with Ina at TILDE MADRID School has been a pure joy for me. I find my professor very experienced, friendly, patient and able to explain important details so well. I’m looking forward to every single one of our lessons! She is knowledgeable about Spanish culture and history, so I've learned a lot not only about the language but also about Spain through our in-depth conversations. With every class I'm also having fun learning grammar exercises. I can see that my fluency is improving quickly and I’m speaking Spanish at work with much, much more confidence. I live in Los Angeles but with Zoom classes I really feel like I'm part of Madrid! This school is very professional and well organized.

Martina Sahre: This is a really great school for learning Spanish! I have been taking classes at this school via Skype, which works really well for me. I have also been at the school for in-person classes and that, too, was a great experience. The teachers at the school are all experienced and really invested in teaching Spanish. The class sizes are adjusted, so that there are enough students to interact, learn and practice, but not too many to be able to teach efficiently. In addition, there are activities to help you practice, such as guided walks through Madrid and morning newspaper discussions; both really helpful ways to apply the knowledge you gained in class. I am really glad I stumbled across this school in a google search a couple of years ago!

Donna Sparks: I really enjoyed my week of intensive Spanish at Tilde. All communications before and during were very professional. The teachers were great and the 4 hours flew by - I really liked the review of the papers over coffee - nice way to start the day. Great use of teaching materials. Two cultural activities were included in the fees and I'm really glad we did them - all in Spanish of course, and a great way to see and learn more about the city We were a small class - just me and my husband! 110% recommend the school and went I come back to Madrid I'll definitely book more classes

daschy kathy: I have only the highest compliments for Tilde Madrid. From my initial contacts with the team (Pilar, Lola and Rosa), my arrival and enrollment at the school, to my successful completion of both Spanish and dance lessons, the experience was extremely positive. Tilde is staffed with fine Spanish language teachers and auxiliary personnel whose knowledge of history, art, dance, cooking, etc., ensure a total cultural experience. Unlike some larger Spanish language schools in Madrid, Tilde is small enough to allow for meaningful, personal contact in and outside the classroom. Another asset: Tilde's location near the Sol Plaza is easily accessible. The school itself occupies a charming building and is comfortable and well-appointed.

Stefan Thomson: Tilde is an incredible school that I would recommend to anyone thinking about spending time in Spain learning the language. The school was recommended to me by a friend, and I was not dissapointed. I had a fantastic experience at Tilde in February 2020. I booked a 1 week course at the school which consisted of 5 teaching days and 2 afternoon activities. As I was the only person with my level of Spanish (A2) at the school at the time, I was given shorter classes (with a teacher all to myself). This 1 on 1 experience was fantastic and really helped me to grasp concepts I was struggling to understand (pronouns and past tenses). This is a real strength of the school and means that you will always have a class, even if there aren't any other students in your level. The teaching at the school was fantastic. I didn't know it at the time, but my teacher, Carmen, has written Spanish language learning books-I think this exemplifies the quality of teaching on offer at the school. Lessons were fun, interactive and engaging. The small class sizes, capped at 4, mean that studying at Tilde is a different experience to studying at different language schools. There are also many other activities on offer at the school. I took part in cafe y prensa activities every morning. We would have a coffee and chat whilst discussing the headlines in the day's newspapers. This was an excellent opportunity to improve my conversational Spanish skills. I also attended 2x cultural tours of the city (Prada Museum and Literary Neighbourhood). Both tours were extremely interesting and allowed me to gain an insight into the culture of the city whilst practicing Spanish. The tour guide, Sonya, is so knowledgeable about the history of her city, speaks slowly to aid understanding and ensures all tours are enjoyable. I would definitely recommend taking part in all extra activities if you visit the school. I also booked accommodation with the school. I stayed with a lovely host family for a week and was able to practice Spanish with them at breakfast time and later in the evening. I had desk space to complete my homework and was located very close to a metro line. I really did have an amazing experience learning at Tilde. I will be back in October. I enjoyed it that much. The school has such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere that it's impossible not to become attached. I couldn't give this school a higher recommendation. A hidden gem!

John Kellner: I was fortunate to spend 2 weeks at Tilde earlier this month. My goal in enrolling there was to try to reacquaint myself with the Spanish language, which I had studied in school 40 years ago, but had not spoken, read or really even heard since then. During that long lapse, I had forgotten most of what I once knew. I picked Tilde over the other language schools I considered because of its focus on teaching adults, and because I hoped that due to its small size, it could provide a student like me with more individualized attention than I might receive in another setting. It also happens to be located in an attractive and central part of Madrid, a very beautiful city. My experience at Tilde was fantastic. Each day I had lessons with two of the profesoras there. Not only were both of them great teachers; they were also an absolute pleasure to spend time with and come to know. They were very adept, dedicated, patient, persistent and fun. The Spanish language book upon which they base their lessons is intuitive, clear and easy to follow. This isn't to say that the work was not hard for me - it was (including serious daily homework). But I looked forward to my lessons each day, and I missed them and the teachers when my time there was over. I should also mention that the Tilde support staff was always responsive, gracious and helpful, and the guide who lead the cultural activities was extremely skilled and knowledgeable, and a great teacher of Spanish history, art and literature (among other topics). I strongly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Spanish, or to hone or improve upon language skills they already have. It was just a great overall experience.

Dan Hendry: Tilde Madrid is an excellent small Spanish school with excellent supportive teachers. I chose them for their location in Madrid, and the medical spanish course which is something quite rare. Every morning I had 4 hours of classes over the course of 5 weekdays and the hours flew by as it was so enjoyable. Discussing the news of the day over a coffee every morning is a great touch, as are the included excursions in some of the afternoons which are of a high quality and adjusted to the level of the students who attend. Very highly recommended!

Marche' Maine: I withhold my recommendation of this school and advise others to read all the reviews with healthy criticism. My primary complaint with this school is the obvious disregard for your proper placement in a level of Spanish class. I was placed in a class with the majority of students who had a greater capability in speaking Spanish so the professor accommodated that higher level for the other students. I was continuously left behind in understanding and became increasingly frustrated. I became a dead-weight on the other students, that is neither fair nor correct. It is bad a pedagogy. The professors were very nice but failed to provide a preparation list of new words to learn and did not slow down AT ALL to explain context. As others have said, the text book is used very, very quickly if at all. Don Quijote seems just wanting to gouge you for 45€ There is no linear process in the teaching which makes for terrible confusion and frustration. That is not good pedagogy. I was told to wait for after the first day because it is "normal". Also, I was told that if I moved class, I would waste another day taking a test. That is not language instruction, that is test taking. It not normal to waste 1/5 of your experience because Don Quijote failed to do proper placement. When I made mention to the office manager Pedro he attempted to blame me for doing well on the placement test even though I told them I can understand the gist of Spanish but need serious help in speaking Spanish. The conversation class (which is extra € of course) was less conversation but more ask and tell. There were too many people in the class to have successful dialogue skills. Don Quijote seems to be a business scheme, one that works aggressively to sell you a product then fails to deliver properly. I am a retired professional and have experienced quality educational programming and content in my career.

Munira Reed: This is a wonderful school in a great setting. I have attended for one or two weeks every year for a number of years. The teachers are outstanding, I have found them to be knowledgeable and flexible with different levels of learning. Very patient with all personality types. I especially enjoy the variety of ages and countries of origin I find here.

Justin Chairez: Due to the ongoing global pandemic I will not be able to attend the school but have still had a unique experience none the less. I write this as a warning to other looking into traveling abroad and wanting to gain a grip of the culture of the world - beware of this school and its little willingness to work with you. As I am sure all of us have felt in these uncertain times, the global situation of the world has been continuously changing from week to week, if not from day to day. While being in talks with the school for the past few weeks, mainly due to an email response coming to me once a week if I am lucky, the school has been unwilling to refund me the full amount I paid in tuition because for some uncertain reasoning its policies never updated with the time. While it is true the school offered to hold my money to let me use it for a later time as well as take online courses, these so called 'options' appear to only benefit its money eccentric approach. Seeing how I am being treated through emails makes me glad I will not be attending this school if this is the manner in which students are treated

Mari Schindele: We were very disappointed with nearly all aspects of the program, with one exception: the additional private lessons we had booked. Our son liked his private lessons very much and found them useful. His regular classroom teacher was nice, but the classes weren't useful because he was placed in a level that was too low, and the class duplicated his IB Spanish class that he had already taken. There were many other problems: 1. We paid 89 euros to have him picked up at the airport, and the pickup service never showed up. He had to pay extra to take a cab. 2. His hostess didn't talk with my son at all. She put his food in front of him and then retreated into her room to watch TV. We had asked to have him with a host family so he could practice his Spanish, as advertised on the website. He didn't get to do this at all. She also served very poor-quality food (frozen food that wasn't heated enough), and there wasn't enough food. 3. We were told by the salesperson on the website that everyone in the program would be about our son's age (18), but in fact he was the only teenager in a group of 30-year-old businesspeople. We were very disappointed with our experiences with Don Quijote and would warn against them.

Mike Baclacian: Very expensive. I made a mistake with my flight, and they did not allow me to make up that day. They do not care about you achieving, they just want your your money. For 13 pages of exercises you will do in their book in one week, they will make you pay 65 Euros for the book. They have no idea about customer service, and the director and the other person under him, who work in the front office, are very rude. They do not want to hear your questions or to be bothered. The teachers want to just take it easy and chat for the class to take up the time. The teachers text on their phone while they tell you to do some exercise in a group. I heard good things about Enforex.

Selena Moore: I did a course here a few years ago in 2016 and found the teachers keen and excellent. The location is central and I would return again.

Kramer Seinfeld: +teachers were great, equipment is alright, the building is fine, well located, free internet -Just two toilets for all students is not enough (I was there at Xmas time when not a lot of students were there. I can imagine during busy summertime it is worst) It is difficult to get in touch with other students that are not in your class because there is no lounge, common room or patio.

paulo martinello: Nice school. I didn't understand why there is only one toilet and it doesn't have a way to dry hands after wash 😋

YUQI GUO: One of the best spanish schools in madrid for sure!!

Flavio: Fnac is a massive book store and other stuff store. It has around five floors ish and a basement. The decoration is great (Rorschach on wall) and has everything you need in your life. There's plushies of characters around the store. There's tons of figures (Frankenstein, Goku, etc). There's music discs and movies. There is a kids area with lots of books for little children and there used to be a screen where they could play angry birds, but because of covid, not anymore. There's a big section with books in other languages and overall lots of books from any genre. In the basement ish section there's video games and accessories to consoles which you can buy (there's a creepy child statue down there aswell). I don't think there's a cafe but there are toilets in the upper floors. There's a thing where they give leaflets and there's a big poster outside (this happens in most fnacs) and there's events throughout the month (I think they're free). For example movies like Demon Slayer Mugen Train and authors come in to talk to people. There's a real life size Batman statue near the comics (They have a vast selection, Invincible, Twd and etc) and lots of manga (Berserk, Jojo). The staff is nice. Overall you should definitely come here and have a look.

Digital Redesign: love the diversity and variety of products, from books to electronics, to kids toys . Great place to choose a birthday or Christmas present.

ahmed badrees: Am writing this review regarding to my experience with them,as i have bought a drone DJI Mini 2 and it was with warranty 3 years after 7 months I have only used my drone 3 times only,and i have well taking care of it and once i want it use the carma Gamble wasn't stiblized so there were technical problem regarding to the camera gamble,so i went to fnac to fixed with my warranty and the customer care were nice and the checked my drone and there were no any damage or scratch and they have checked and they said there are no any damage to the drone that i did as the warrenty dose not cover any damage i droped it,so was cleared and they take it to be fixed on the 15th of September 2022 and i have waited until 26th of November 2022 and then they telling me that i have to pay for the shipping and fixing the damge as it's not covered in the warranty as in the warranty policy that it should be covered ,so i paid €133 to fixed and paid for the shipping as they send it to Barcelona and that all on my expensise as i shouldn't paid for that ,so i paid it all and they told me will only take 2 weeks maximum and i went today 21st of December 2022 and they are telling me that they still haven't got it yet ,and they don't know how long will take to get it back ,so tell me what you think about this.

Mike Slovak: Really cool layout. There is about 3-5 levels that all go towards different things. One level was all music and then the next was books, etc. Prices are fair as well

Deluxe: I think all the staff that work here hate their lives because they are all always mean and annoyed when you ask them something. I speak spanish fluently since it's my mother tounge and they still treated me like they didn't know what I was saying. The store itself is ok I guess.

Mira: Nice store full of gadgets. I wanted to buy new laptop but all keyboards were with spanish letters and none in store with international one which was disappointment.

Jack Ceballos: Amazing place !!! Sound, play games,tech, music.... Is a perfect store

Sardar Wasi Uddin Al Ahmed: Fnac is a big departmental shop located at C. de Preciados, 28, 28013 Madrid which is the center of Madrid city. The shop is 5 floors like one floor is for electronics and gaming items, another floor is for Books etc. The only problem is nobody speaks in English here! So you have to ask them in Spanish if you want any help! A bit challenging for a tourist 😀😀

Mark Edward Cooper: Fantastic for books and stationary. A bit crowded but I guess it was Saturday 6 weeks prior yo Christmas!

Pol cornudella castro: Amazing convenience store! Everything you need!

Carlis Rejon: Fake news

Hermann Fegelein: Love it!

Mai Daniel: Fake

MiMi Hill: Doesn’t exist!!!!!!

Perro Con parkinson: The truth is, I don't know how I started looking for a Walmart on a street where my grandmother could perfectly live, anyway... You have to leave Spain to find a Walmart

Shushy: There is not yet, but I would like them to open the Walmart store in and around Madrid when they have the opportunity

Nature First (Outdoor & Survival): There is no Walmart!!! No Walmart!!!

Cristian: Fraud

Edder Orozco: This is an ok place to spend sometime wandering around while at the mall. They have some books and comics, and I mean some, a few electronics (not great prices by the way). The staff over here acts as if they are not there, they never ask if you need anything at all but that's ok, you really don't need them, it's just for courtesy and general customer service that they should.

Zen Uru: Absolutely must visit for nerds. It has everything starting from manga, comics to PC games and posters. However mostly everything is in Spanish.

Margaret Tipton: The staff was helpful, but took awhile to find someone to actually help me initially. Once I found someone, they were very attentive and honest with me in regards as to which product to buy when looking for a new phone.

Anna S: Small store with a good selection of books, music,and games.

Rawandee: Lacks organization, many products/shelves missing price tag. Did not find any service or answers. Variety of products and brands.

Ben Ashley: Not specifically for this store but more as a critique to the company. Why charge for paper bags? When charged for plastic bags you can assume the proceeds go to removing the carbon footprint, but if you now provide paper bags, why? Generally, the products Fnac sells aren't cheap, as in, they're not a discount store... That's ok but why does Primark not charge me for the paper bag when I buy socks for 2€, Or Mango doesn't charge for a bag for a 10€ face mask but Fnac does for buying a 20€ scarf. I assume I wouldn't even get a complementary bag if I bought some 300€ headphones. I'm just reflecting on my customer experience from purchasing in this shop as opposed to others.

Denise Hrastel: Fnac Barcelona Arena - Big store with good products

Winthrop Liwag Sancho: It's a great place to find all your electronics and books. I like window shopping there.

Abdou Elsafi: I traviling around morocco and spain i like discoviring places and sharing photography metting ...
