Freddie 16 weeks in Salamanca The Spanish course experience in Salamanca for me is the perfect mix of social fun vs studying. Outside the classroom it’s non- stop partying with your class mates, which you would think would make lessons a drag. However I found the classes almost as entertaining as the night-life (even with a […]

Lucy Gap Year course Salamanca, Spain It didn’t take long to decide that a trip to Salamanca would be an excellent way to practice my Spanish before continuing my studies at university, and also a wonderful way to enjoy my year off; not to mention the tan I was hoping to show off to all […]

Katie 12 weeks in Salamanca I headed to Salamanca for a new lifestyle of 5 Spanish lessons a day, siesta & fiesta. Time flew by far too fast on the course, in a blur of an ever-changing student body at school and after-party exhaustion. Although as someone who is staying more permanently it’s sad to see people come and […]

Hamish Extended Gap Year Spanish Course in Salamanca When planning to start learning Spanish again, (which I’d not studied since GCSEs) I knew it would be best to start right from the beginning. Within my first three weeks as a student in the language school in Salamanca it became increasingly hard to leave (which really squashed my […]

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 […]

I found CESA through my college in Bristol and decided to […]

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 […]
