Madrid, the capital of Spain, is one of Europe's liveliest cities, with the Prado and Reina Sofía museums, Retiro Park, Plaza Mayor and a life that goes on late into the night. Its central location and wide choice of schools make it a strong choice for learning Spanish.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Madrid:
Summer programs at Schiller International University and international schools in Madrid are also among the options.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short course combined with travel, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6 months or more for a certificate such as DELE B2.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. In summer, junior programs fill the classes and accommodation books up early, while spring and autumn are good for both weather and prices.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a Schengen visa for up to 90 days and a student visa for longer programs. Which language programs qualify for a long-stay student visa can change with new regulations, so check current conditions in official sources; NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents.
Students in Spain on a Schengen visa for a language course cannot work. For long-stay student visa holders, work rights depend on the type of program and are limited to set hours.
Homestay is the most common option in Madrid; living with a Spanish family is ideal for getting to know the language and food culture up close.
Living costs in Madrid are among the highest in Spain, especially rent. Homestays and shared flats help balance the budget.
Madrid's metro is very extensive, and buses and suburban trains reach every part of the city. There is a discounted transport pass for under-26s.
Madrid has a continental-influenced climate, with hot, dry summers and cold, sunny winters.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) take about 4.5-5 hours; the metro or train takes about 30 minutes from the airport to the city centre.
Because Spain uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Madrid is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
