Paid Internship Working at Top Hotels

I attended Spanish courses with Instituto Hemingway for three months. First I took 6 weeks taking courses and then 2 weeks travelling around and finally a program working in a hotel as an intern. I was very impressed by the organization of the school and classes, the placement process for new students (a 10-minute chat, in Spanish, with a teacher who assesses at what level and in which class the student should be placed), the teachers' professionalism and the ambiance, which was casual but goal-oriented. I had a working knowledge of Spanish and was placed exactly where I needed to be to further my learning. That said, it is the total immersion that allowed me to gain and develop confidence in my speaking skills. I lodged with a local family where no one spoke any English, which meant that I would either sink or learn to swim - which is just what I did. I now speak Spanish fluently. Going to Instituto Hemingway was the best thing I could have done to achieve my goal.

I developed a lot of interpersonal skills and meet lots of wonderful people." First of all, I would like to say that it was truly an amazing opportunity. The conditions offered by the company were very good, the office is a modern place with a welcoming atmosphere. The team was very nice, mostly international people very kind. Everyone was sharing their culture, this way making the workplace more interesting.

The colleagues were super nice, I felt very accepted, and could always rely on them. The apartment they gave me was superb apartment, they also provided me with good food in the hotel.

It was my best internship experience so far, if I would have a possibility, I would definitely apply through your company again, thank you for everything

Instituto Hemingway is the best school, where students learn from different conversations and games, it is so fun and enjoyable to learn Spanish in that way. Marta and Eli are the professors that taught me for this month and I liked it a lot. I will miss them and hope to have them for my future classes that I will take with Instituto Hemingway. Thank you Instituto Hemingway for that opportunity! I would recommend you to take classes with this school. The teachers are great and I love how there’s an emphasis on speaking and listening which helps immerse yourself better. The location is convenient and their prices are really reasonable. After 4 weeks learning Spanish I went to Southern Spain to a fabulous hotel to work as a waiter while improving my Spanish. That was a blast!! I worked many hours but my colleagues were the best ever too!

I went to Spain by this program and I can highly recommend this program for experiencing with the new cultures and gain more practice on Spanish. I have made a lot friends which I still keep in touch with them in business life. I took 4 weeks of Spanish courses before going to the placement in a top hotel. That made me more confident in my Spanish.

Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - I worked as a kitchen sous in a top hotel in Southern Spain.

I had the time of my life there in Spain. I enjoyed so much working with people from all over the world. The experience was the best one I have ever had and I can´t wait to go back. I have to say that I learnt a lot, not only at work but also outside of work. The school organised these amazing cultural activities that made me understand and appreciate their culture. As far as my job is concerned, I loved working with people from different countries with different traditions and life-styles, and I learnt new things or facts about their lives. I learnt how to work in an office or how to solve unexpected problems. All in all, I loved this experience.
