Valencia's experience

I arrived excited in Valencia for my Spanish immersion course. The family of my teacher, Pilar, warmly welcomed me to their charming house in the mountains, just a few minutes from the beach.
Mornings were spent learning in intensive classes with Pilar. In the afternoons, we explored Valencia together, from the Barrio del Carmen to the City of Arts and Sciences.
Shared meals with Pilar's family became practical lessons. On weekends, we explored the Albufera and tried horchata and fartons.
By the end of the course, my Spanish had improved, but the most valuable aspect was the experience itself. I said goodbye with gratitude, carrying with me lasting memories and enhanced language skills. I highly recommend the Spanish course in Valencia with Pilar.

Amazing experience

I thoroughly recommend Mónica's programme in Barcelona for travel lovers

It couldn't have gone more smoothly! By far the most enjoyable Spanish programme I've ever experienced. Mónica provided knowledge and confidence, made certain that the course was interesting and relevant to my interests, which are nature, photography and art in general. A week spent with Mónica and her two adorable Golden retrievers, Rumba and Samba, was an unforgettable cultural experience. Mónica's parents live upstairs, and her father is an incredible cook as well as an incredible artist. They were all friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. The house is adorned with vibrant paintings. My spoken and written Spanish has greatly improved so I now feel confident to travel around Spain and Latin America. I wholeheartedly recommend Mónica's programme in the province of Barcelona.

Incredible Experience Barcelona

I had the most incredible experience during my stay at Mónica's house in the province of Barcelona. Exploring the hiking trails of Montnegre I Corredor Natural Park, Spain's first park of silence, was truly an adventure to cherish. Despite the park's serene atmosphere, Mónica made sure to infuse our time with laughter and engaging Spanish conversations. It was a refreshing and inspiring environment that truly enhanced my language learning experience.

One memorable afternoon, I had the pleasure of strolling through Mataró with Josefina, Mónica's mother, engaging in Spanish conversations with locals along the way. It was a fantastic opportunity to immerse myself in the language and culture, proving that Spanish classes can be both educational and enjoyable.

Listening to Spanish music proved to be an effective and enjoyable method of language learning. Instead of tedious textbook exercises, studying song lyrics allowed me to grasp new vocabulary, idioms, and colloquial phrases effortlessly. As someone who loves to sing and dance, a night out was a highlight of my trip. Sharing the experience with Mónica's vibrant group of friends made it even more memorable.

To cap off my visit, I was treated to a delicious Sunday family meal featuring a seafood casserole with rice, expertly prepared by Juan, Mónica's father. It was the perfect farewell to a truly unforgettable experience.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would stayed longer!
Pros
  • Able to be with a Spanish family
  • Listening to Spanish from waking up
  • The weather!

An incredible experience with the immersion program to learn Spanish at Mónica's house in Dosrius, Barcelona

I had an incredible experience with the immersion program to learn Spanish at Mónica's house in Barcelona. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed into her home, which provided an authentic and comfortable environment for improving my Spanish.

The personalized lessons were tailored to my level and needs, making the learning process engaging and effective. Living with a native Spanish speaker allowed me to practice the language outside of the classroom, enhancing my conversational skills. Mónica's expertise and patience were remarkable, and the cultural insights she shared enriched my understanding of the language and local customs.

Exploring Barcelona province with guidance from a local was a unique bonus, as I got to immerse myself in it. Overall, this immersion program exceeded my expectations and was an invaluable opportunity to improve my Spanish in an authentic setting.

The best experience learning spanish

Participating in Arancha’s Spanish immersion program in Menorca was an incredible experience. Her welcoming home in Mahón, the island’s capital, provided the perfect environment for deepening my Spanish language skills. Personalized lessons tailored to my level and goals ensured effective learning.
Living with a native Spanish speaker and qualified teacher was a dream. Daily interactions immersed me in the language, and Arancha’s patient approach made learning enjoyable, even with complex topics.
I had the wonderful opportunity to spend the weekend with Santiago from Argentina, another teacher from Spanish Express, who was in Spain for a teacher’s reunion. It was fascinating to experience different accents and I found it incredibly enriching. Additionally, I had the pleasure of meeting Mónica, the founder and director of Spanish Express. She generously extended her time and invited me to participate in extra weekend activities not included in the program.
Exploring Menorca with Arancha, Santiago, Mónica and several of her childhood friends was a highlight. From historic sites to authentic cuisine, I immersed myself in local life, deepening my understanding of gastronomy, art and culture in general.
This immersion program surpassed expectations, enhancing both my language skills and cultural connection. If you want a unique way to learn Spanish while enjoying Menorca’s beauty, I highly recommend it.
