An unforgettable Spanish experience in Ana's house (Barcelona City Centre)

Participating in the Spanish immersion program at Ana's house in Barcelona was an unforgettable experience. The cosy atmosphere of Ana's home created a welcoming and relaxed learning environment.

The one-on-one lessons were thoughtfully structured and adapted to my pace and proficiency, which greatly accelerated my language skills. Living with a native Spanish speaker was a game-changer; daily interactions in Spanish improved my fluency and confidence.

Ana's passion for teaching and deep knowledge of the language and culture was evident in every lesson. Additionally, the program offered a fantastic balance of study and exploration. Exploring Barcelona's iconic sites and hidden gems with Ana's guidance enhanced my language-learning journey.

This immersion program is an excellent choice for anyone looking to fully immerse themselves in the Spanish language and embrace the beauty of Barcelona.

Immensely rewarding

Enrolling in the Spanish immersion program at Pilar's house in Valencia was an exceptional decision. Pilar's warm and inviting home provided the perfect backdrop for an immersive language learning experience. The customized lessons were tailored to my learning goals, ensuring that I progressed at a comfortable pace while challenging myself. Living with a native speaker was a game-changer; I found myself engaging in meaningful conversations and learning colloquial expressions that aren't often covered in textbooks. Pilar's teaching style was both informative and enjoyable, making each lesson a valuable learning opportunity. Exploring Valencia with their local insights was a highlight; I got to experience the city's culture and history in a way that only a resident could provide. This immersion program not only helped me improve my Spanish but also allowed me to create lasting memories and connections. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone seeking an immersive and authentic way to learn Spanish while discovering the beauty of Valencia.

Immersion Course

My experience was amazing! Pilar is a very sweet person and an amazing teacher. Not only did I learn a lot but I also ate some great food while staying in the house. Pilar took us to all of the places we wanted to go and was very thoughtful about my gluten allergy. I am very happy I got to experience life in Valencia while also improving my Spanish immensely! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone trying to learn or improve their Spanish because it is a super fun way to learn and experience.

Pros
  • Learned the Language
  • Ate great food
  • Made friends
Cons
  • It was hot

Curso inmersión en Valencia

Pilar was a wonderful hostess, and an even better teacher. She was very accommodating to heath restrictions, and always provided what we needed. Her course was the best Spanish classes I’ve taken, and I learned more here in 3 weeks than I have in 3 years in high school. I feel confident in my ability to speak above basic Spanish, and have a good understanding of how the language works. I also had the ability to walk to several hikes while I was here, and took advantage. The nature here is different than my country, and I loved experiencing new things while wondering the wilderness.

Pros
  • The fantastic views, many hikes available
  • Many excursions
  • Wonderful cooking
Cons
  • No air conditioning

Spanish with Pilar

This course was an incredible experience! Pilar is such a kind and lovely person and cooks very well.
She’s caring and always available for everyone.
I never got bored during these three weeks and the company of her son Max, her daughter Esmeralda and Ardi was special.
The place was beautiful and the people were very friendly.
I will never forget this experience.
Just a little remark, for three weeks of classes, I find the price a little excessive and not everyone is willing to spend that much.

Pros
  • Teacher
  • Food
  • Great city (Valencia)
Cons
  • Too hot in the summer
  • Too distant from city center
  • Lack of public transport

Spanish Express Immersion Programme - Valencia, 12th - 24th June 2023

This experience was really unique enjoyable for many reasons. It was an amazing feeling living with my teacher in her lovely Spanish-style house in Valencia. Except for weekends, we had 2-hours of Spanish classes on a daily basis, combined with practicing the language in real-life while out shopping or out at restaurants.

I also embraced the Spanish culture through watching Flamenco shows, sightseeing and eating local dishes, especially Paella and serrano ham.

Another Italian student was also there on an immersion programme and I made great friends with her together with the son and daughter of my teacher as well.

Pros
  • The house was very convenient and comfortable.
  • I made two amazing friends and got along really well with the family.
  • I improved my Spanish even further.
Cons
  • The weather was scorching hot on the last two days.
  • I got a lot of mosquito bites.
  • I found the listening (escuchar) sections difficult.

Superb week in Gilet

A superb week with Pilar, the teacher, and her family in a beautiful house situated in the foothills of the mountains near Gilet, Valencia.
Authentic home-cooked food, spotlessly clean and comfortable bedrooms and a range of amazing cultural activities, including a three day festival, a visit to Valencia, walking the beach and trekking in the mountains with Pilar's son as our guide.
An amazing experience and - at the same time - constantly improving written and spoken Spanish through Pilar's carefully structured teaching and the informal conversations which arise during the wealth of activities.
