Sally Gray : 2 weeks Spanish course I’d been on a language course before and was expecting it to be the same with a good broad cover of all aspects of the language – reading, writing, listening and speaking.  I wasn’t expecting to mix with the other students much and thought the work would be very […]

Isabel Reynolds : 2 weeks Spanish Summer Programme Benalmadena, Spain I wanted to work on my Spanish post GCSE exams and to have a good time, but mostly improve my spoken Spanish before starting my AS Spanish course. My Mum found out about the teenager Spanish language courses abroad offfered by CESA and we chose […]

Toby Roberts : 8 weeks Spanish course in Cuenca, Ecuador Before I went on the course I felt I had realistic expectations, I didn’t expect to become fluent in Spanish (no matter how good the tutors that wasn’t, sadly, going to happen in just eight weeks) but I did hope I’d reach a standard where […]

Mark Lenton 4 weeks Spanish course in Malaga I was looking for some intensive teaching with modern methods but confess to feeling anxious about living with a Spanish family as I suspected I would be one of the eldest students (being in my 50s), and worried about opportunities out of class.  However I was determined […]

Kate: 1 week in Nice Easter A’level course  I really imagined that the French Easter A’level Revision course in Nice would be similar to my French course at school in the UK.  Very teacher led, not much interaction with the students etc… Well I imagined wrong!   I couldn’t believe how wrong I was. 

Susanna Pettigrew : 8 weeks in Seville I hoped that after the first four weeks I would be able to know the basics of the Spanish language, such as numbers, colours, food, clothes, family etc.  I was a bit concerned though as I went out there with no previous knowledge of the Spanish language.

Zara Richards 8 weeks Spanish language course    From the information CESA gave us I knew that all the lessons would be with native speaking teachers and would all be in Spanish, however this still didn’t prepare me for the first few days – they seemed really difficult.  It all worked well for me in […]

Laura Meadows 12 weeks Spanish language course I wanted to learn Spanish and experience the Spanish culture, all of which I gained through the school and living with the Spanish family.  Learning a language is only REALLY successful abroad when you’re surrounded by the language all day. I decided to go with CESA Languages as […]

Hannah Ridgley Intensive French Course 2 weeks in Nice Linguistically I was hoping to improve my written French but also gain more confidence in my speaking.  But writing and listening were my main priorities.  Generally I was hoping to meet others with the same interest in French and meet other Europeans, not English people!  I […]

George Dodds-Smith : 2 weeks in Buenos Aires. I was looking for an intensive Spanish language course that would get me speaking a fair bit of Spanish in just two weeks and I was hoping for a good place to meet other people.  Great result for me, in both categories!
