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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
