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 […]

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 […]

I decided to go with CESA Languages as […]

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!

Lucy Pollock  : 2 weeks Spanish course in Buenos Aires I had already done an Italian course through CESA in Florence, so this gave me a fairly good idea of what to expect. I imagined the lessons would involve a mixture of grammar exercises and general conversation with other students from all over the world.

Ania: 2 weeks Summer School San Sebastian, Spain I expected to improve my Spanish conversation and grammar skills and have the opportunity of meeting new people.

Katy Michael 8 weeks Languages for Life course   I really didn’t know what to expect.  I assumed the classes would have a great emphasis on speaking the language and understanding it rather than working on grammar all day.  I’d read all the CESA Languages paperwork avidly but still felt so nervous about the whole […]
