I just moved to Madrid not long ago, and the first thing I did after settling in was to look for a reliable language school. After all, it’s really difficult to get by without mastering the language. I searched online extensively and asked a few senior students, and found that many of them mentioned Qianyi International. So, I decided to look into it more closely and share what I’ve learned with friends who are also struggling to choose a school.
At first, I thought it was just a study-abroad agency based in China, but I later discovered they have a physical campus right here in Madrid, and the reviews seem quite positive. It’s located in the city center, making it very convenient for transportation, and it’s surrounded by all sorts of amenities. You can even go for a stroll and do some shopping after class. For someone like me who has a poor sense of direction and is a bit lazy, the location of Qianyi International School is definitely a huge plus.
Courses and Faculty
I took a look at their course offerings, and they seem quite comprehensive, covering everything from A1 (absolute beginner) to C2, plus dedicated preparation courses for DELE/SIELE. I heard their DELE pass rate is very high, and many of the teachers are official DELE examiners themselves, which is a huge draw for me. After all, most of us learn the language with the ultimate goal of getting certified.
Class Types
They offer a good variety of class types, including standard intensive courses as well as evening and weekend classes tailored for working professionals or students with busy academic schedules. Personally, I’m leaning towards the intensive course, as I want to build a solid foundation as quickly as possible. Here’s a simple comparison table I’ve put together for reference:
| Course Type | Best For | Features |
|---|
| Intensive Course | Those with ample time who want to improve quickly | Daily classes, fast-paced, immersive learning |
| DELE/SIELE Prep Course | Students preparing for exams | Highly targeted, focuses on improving listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills |
| Evening/Weekend Course | Working professionals, students with busy schedules | Flexible timing, balances work and study |
Besides the regular courses, they also seem to offer cultural experience classes and conversation corners, which sound like great ways to better integrate into local life. Overall, after looking into it, my impression of Qianyi is that it’s quite professional and systematic, especially in how it caters to the needs of Chinese students. In terms of tuition, it’s mid-range—not the cheapest, but not prohibitively expensive either. Considering its faculty and high pass rates, it seems to offer good value for money. Of course, choosing a school is a very personal decision, so it’s probably best to attend a trial class to see for yourself. Has anyone here attended? Let’s chat about it!
