Blog and Student Reviews: Spanish

Shezre decided to follow several language programmes with us; to Cannes, Madrid, Seville and Granada. Here she talks about her initial 4-week Intensive Group course in Madrid in November  for her Gap Year. “Having studied A-level Spanish I already have a basic knowledge of the language, and expected it to become easier to speak in […]

” Since having no previous knowledge of Spanish I hoped to gain a basic grasp of the language and have fun at the same time. Did I feel my expectations were met? Definitely, I progressed more than I could have imagined. I felt I learnt more Spanish in a month than I did french in […]

“I expected the course to further develop my grammatical and linguistic Spanish skills and generally improve my conversational Spanish. I also looked forward to being taught by native Spanish speakers in a country other than Spain. I definitely improved my all round Spanish langue and grammar but I also felt the course set me up […]

Eve Wade: 2 week Standard Course. “I expected that I would be older than the other students in my Spanish language class but hoped that Iwould not be. Actually my class consisted of a Japanese gent even older than me (!) plus 6 others; one other Irish girl, about 30yr old and younger Spanish students from Sweden, […]

“I expected a more intensive course (in the style of a regular school in England) and for the accommodation to be smaller, but with more Spanish speakers. The accommodation met my expectations. The lessons were well planned and presented, with a good mix of textbook learning and oral practice. The Spanish school in Santiago was […]

“I had learnt Spanish to AS level in the UK and once I’d graduated wanted to use some free time to combine improving my language skills with seeing another part of the world.  Had no real idea what to expect from Argentina – just liked the idea of going somewhere different.  I enjoyed the lessons.
