Reviews
Ayim
I decided to pursue higher education in Spain, and the first step was to choose a language center. I chose Irtysh because they have excellent teachers. The education system is great, and we primarily speak Spanish, which helps us improve our speaking skills. We also have various events, like movie nights and celebrating Spanish holidays.
Zhanali
I started learning Spanish because I plan to apply to a medical university in Spain. I love Spain; it’s a vibrant country.
At Irtysh, there’s always a comfortable atmosphere, and I feel at ease, like I’m part of a family.
Thanks to all the teachers at the center for this!
Zhanar
I am in Mexico and I am very happy and grateful that one day I decided to learn Spanish at the Irtysh center!
Uliyana
For me, learning Spanish has become something inspiring. It’s an interesting and positive language for me.
The center’s location and atmosphere are very convenient.
Thank you so much!
Elena
I’ve been studying Spanish at Irtysh for almost 4 years, starting with zero knowledge. I always wanted to learn Spanish so I could watch movies without subtitles and read books in the language. And now, I can do that!
There’s always a friendly atmosphere at Irtysh. Everyone comes in tired after work or school, but during the lessons, we all have positive energy. This is also thanks to the teachers.
Aktoty
My name is Aktoty. I speak six languages and began learning Spanish at Irtysh. My teacher is Asiya. In just four months, I reached a good level, and when I traveled to Barcelona, it was easy for me to communicate in Spanish. I’m grateful to my teacher Asiya and the Irtysh center.
