My experience in Seville as an intern

My experience in Seville was truly one of a kind. As a marketing intern at the Spanish Institute for Global Education, I worked on real world projects like social media planning, content creation, and outreach strategies. What made it unique was the balance between professional learning and cultural immersion. I improved my Spanish, explored stunning cities like Córdoba and Málaga, and made friendships that crossed borders.

Future participants should know that this experience goes beyond the internship. It is about stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing a new culture, and growing in ways you never expected.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Document my experience. I would keep a journal and take more photos to capture my personal and professional growth.
I would take time to think about how I’m growing. Reflecting helps make the most of the experience and prepare for what’s next.
Pros
  • Got to experience authentic Spanish culture, from flamenco and festivals to local cuisine
  • Improved Spanish skills through daily interactions and work
  • Balanced internship responsibilities with fun cultural and social activities.
Cons
  • Communication could be challenging before getting used to the language.
  • Adjusting to a new way of life and work culture took some time.
  • Just as you settle in, it’s time to leave🥲More time would have allowed for deeper learning and exploring.

My experience

My experience with adelante abroad was much different than I expected. I was excited to come to Seville with an already organized internship and plans for my 8 weeks here, however when I got here, my internship was not finalized. Even though I was told I would have an internship relating to my major, when I got here they told me my internship might not work out and were planning on putting me in an internship completely unrelated to my interests. Eventually I was able to do my initial internship, but didn’t allow me to do what I was expecting to do and I did not do what I was told I would. Additionally, adelante abroad was extremely disorganized and communicated very poorly. I felt very lost and uncertain on what I was supposed to be doing at first, if it weren’t for the friends I made here. The staff were very nice, but I just did not have the experience I paid for.

What would you improve about this program?
I would mainly improve the communication of this program because I came to Spain with no guide of where I was going, I had very little information about my host family, I did not know my schedule or if there were any other people in my program (to find there were 4 other girls), so if this type of information was better communicated before I flew to Spain I think that would have made my experience much better.
Pros
  • Exploring spain
  • Meeting really awesome people and making new friends
  • Learning a new language and culture
Cons
  • I didn’t get the practical job experience that I was told I would
  • We missed out on many of the activities we paid for because we weren’t given information about them
  • Lack of communication

Response from Adelante Abroad

Hannah, thank you for taking the time to write this review and we do apologize for your feelings of uncertainty! Your internship was contracted and finalized, as you know. Psychology placements in Europe require more extra steps than any other internship sector: they are serious placements as candidates are working abroad, and in another language, with individuals and groups who are in some form of distress and/or diagnosed with various mental and emotional issues. We have to be double careful! As you state you interned right where you were originally contracted, no changes there, however on arrival the Clinica had a few more requirements that we were not made aware of until your arrival. In an effort to be totally transparent, we let you know about these as we worked on complying with those extra requests so your contacted internship could start on time, which it did. It is clear this could have been confusing and again, we do apologize for that, truly. We know from your work assignment Doctora that they were happy with your work, and though you didn’t reply to any of our regular checking in emails we know from 20 plus years providing this program, that your time interning abroad will benefit you hugely professionally as well as personally (those friends you made in Sevilla, hopefully you are still in contact with them!)

Medical Internship Sevilla

I had the best time in Sevilla. Working in the hospital was a fantastic learning experience, and exploring the rich Andalucía region led to endless adventures. Adelante offered support that allowed me to thrive in my internship while encouraging autonomy for an authentic abroad experience. From my coworkers in the hospital, to my roommates, to the many people I met throughout the city, I know I have made lifelong friends. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to take the next step in achieving their professional goals, or simply someone yearning for a unique adventure.

Summer to Remember

My experience with Adelante was definitely a good one. Not perfect, but good. The internship placement in the clinic was really awesome except that sometimes the director didn't want to listen to us and it lead to a few misunderstandings. But throughout the week when we were just working everything was awesome. Lots of hands on experience, lots of opportunities to learn new things. And the nurses and doctors there were so nice and really good at their jobs. I was continually impressed by them. I loved that our hours were monday-thursday as well because it gave us more time to travel and explore on the weekends. Our living quarters were pretty average. The bathroom was renovated, and the location was actually perfect, the neighborhood was super safe. Obviously it's not a USA luxury apartment but all things considered it was a good place to live. Usually if something broke or we had a problem they were able to help us out pretty quickly. The actual Adelante program itself was honestly much more independent than I expected, which was not a bad thing. They checked in every once in a while but honestly it felt like I was really living there by myself. Definitely a good way to gain experience adulting in another country haha. The only big complaint I would have with the program was communication. There were a number of details that weren't communicated to me at the beginning of the program like that I would have a specific uniform or little things like that. They would also often text us saying they were going to have someone come to the apartment for maintanence but only give us like a 30 minute warning and we were all at work. They got a little frustrated at that but honestly, we did to. We came to work, what can we say if we're not home at 11am. Anyway, besides the communication issues, it really was an amazing program. I learned and experienced sooooo much and I will never forget my time in Spain. If you're wondering whether or not it's worth it -- it is.

Pros
  • Real Clinical Experience
  • Amazing Location (Seville is sooooo cool)
Cons
  • Poor Communication
  • Unclear Expectations

Adelante Abroad

There were a lot of positives from this experience. I was able to work closely with doctors in a way that I had not previously experienced. This gave me a great way to learn, and I was also able to see a lot of different medical cases. However, this was not very hands-on at all, and the program director in Sevilla refused to listen to what we were saying regarding our college majors. So had he been willing to hear us out, we could have gotten a better chance to do more tasks. But besides that, everything else at the clinic was cool.

Pros
  • food
  • medical experience
  • weekend trips
Cons
  • no AC in apartment
  • uncooperative program manager

Internships in Seville

Meeting new friends from all over the US and overseas was a unique experience. Meeting people from Seville was lovely too! The culture, the food, and the beauty of the city are amazing. Having the opportunity to internship abroad is quite an experience, knowing Spanish but learning new words and of course, another pronunciation was fascinating. Adelante abroad in Sevilla answered all of my questions when I had one, they were very helpful and friendly as well. While in Seville, I also had the opportunity to travel around Europe.

Once in a lifetime experience!

I was put in a place to succeed even with very little prior Spanish skills, Adelante was very accommodating throughout the process! Everything about the program was great: the 2-week Spanish course, the internship, the housing and of course the wonderful city itself all made for a perfect experience. I highly recommend this program to anyone that loves to travel, would like the chance to immerse themselves in a new culture, or even simply someone looking for meaningful work experience (though I guarantee you will get more out of your time here than that!)

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
First arriving in Madrid with very little Spanish speaking experience. I was so relieved once I got to Seville and a program coordinator met me! I recommend brushing up on your Spanish as much as you can before going, but I was put in a position where my poor Spanish skills were still enough to get by thanks to Adelante's support and fantastic planning, and have come out a much better speaker!

A rewarding and challenging experience

I absolutely loved my experience living in Sevilla through the Adelante Abroad program. This is not your typical study abroad program in which they hold your hand throughout the entire process. You are expected to be completely independent and self-sufficient, and the contacts that you have in your city are simply there for any questions or support that you may need. I loved the structure of the Adelante program because it enabled me to really immerse myself in the city like a local rather than only learning about the surface level/touristy aspects of Sevilla. The only Americans that I interacted with in my 3 months were my roommates and of the friends I made were from all around the world. I don't know of another program where I would have had the opportunity to completely make my own experience.

The simplicity of the program (in which they find you housing and internship placement and then leave you on your own) is also what makes this one of the most affordable abroad experiences. My university has a 5-week program in Sevilla that was 3 times the cost of Adelante and not half as immersive. That being said, if you are planning on doing an Adelante Internship you should be aware that the lack of structure in the program means you have to figure out everything on your own--food, travel logistics, budgeting, safety, socializing, etc. Your program is completely what you make of it, so make sure you are prepared to be pushed way out of your comfort zone. For me, this was the perfect program and if I could go back in time I would have done the exact same program over again.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My most nerve-racking moments were definitely during my internships because I had to speak completely in Spanish and it was sometimes embarassing when I messed up. These also ended up being the moments in which I grew and improved the most!
