Blog and Student Reviews: Spanish

Ryan Murray 4 weeks in Granada Standard Course Granada is a great town, good value (despite the Euro) each beer came with free tapas – so no real need to spend money on dinner.  Lots of cultural things to see.  It was quite easy to meet Spanish people through the teachers etc but in August […]

Sian Davies 8 weeks in Barcelona Standard Course I have always loved the Spanish language and I wanted to become more fluent.  I also thought that improving my Spanish would help me in the future for job opportunities in the Travel and Tourism sector. I found CESA through my college in Bristol and decided to […]

Carol Sargent Spanish for the Over 50s Two weeks in Nerja The Spanish language course in Nerja was excellent – lots of conversation about topics which the five of us found interesting (e.g. different customs and habits of the Swiss, Germans, Spanish with me representing the UK) and which our teacher Marion also learnt from – in […]

Amy Kuan 12 weeks (May – July) in Madrid on a Spanish Gap Year programme: Before I arrived I generally expected the course to be both challenging and fun at the same time, especially considering there was going to be students from all over the world studying at the language school in Madrid. Linguistically I really […]

Colin Henderson 8 weeks Spanish language tuition Standard Course in San Sebastian I had really bad Spanish – could order a beer just, kinda get a room in a hostel (but generally reverted to English) and work out straight on from my left or right if trying to ask for the train station – otherwise zip.  Decided […]

Jessica Fuller 12 weeks: Spanish course in Granada As I was a complete beginner I thought the first couple of weeks Spanish language lessons would be quite difficult and that it would be really tough to communicate, but I hoped it would get easier as the weeks passed. Linguistically the experience from the first week onwards […]

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 […]
