Program Reviews

I would make sure that everyone in the program has the same housing so everyone could be closer. The good thing is you will meet a lot of people and you can establish relationships from people all over California. I wasn’t a big fan of the workload that was placed I felt stressed out a lot with school which shouldn’t really happen when I’m abroad. Also either less classes or less hours for then internship because I felt like I never really had a day to relax as I was always doing homework for classes or my internship

Studying abroad in Barcelona is genuinely the best decision I have ever made in my life, & I don't think anything will ever top this experience. Expanish provided everything, from housing to day trips & even introduced me to my closest friends. From cooking family dinners in our residence hall to taking a 34-person program trip to Morocco, every moment in Barcelona made every anxious though worth it :') The worst part of it all is having to leave. If you're debating going abroad, do it. Please.

All the teachers are so accommodating and awesome. This university was the best time of my life!!! Wouldn't trade it for the world!

This was the best time of my life. Expanish was so helpful and the staff is great. The experience was incredible and I love Barcelona. Additionally going off of that, the teaching was good and very different than in the United States of America. It is different because we do a lot of presentations which we don’t do in the United States. I have definitely become a better public speaker.

Really enjoyed my time at Expanish. I wish I had planned to stay longer. My host family was changed at the last minute and she wasn't expecting me on Sunday when I arrived. I spent the day walking around the park which was lovely. She was very nice, clean, helpful, but far away from everything. I felt a bit isolated. Next time I will stay alone in an apartment closer to the school. I appreciated the fact that there were all ages attending class. If you could improve anything, maybe have a list of interesting things to do outside of the school, whether it's events (ex: Mundo Lingo night) or afternoon excursions.

Welcoming school, friendly and helpful staff, good facilities and well organized activities for participants. Academic and teaching were fine (beginner class). I experienced four different teachers and observed from average to good teaching competency. Opportunity here for improvement and more professional preparation for the classes. Overall its remains a positive experience.

I came to the school for 1 week unsure what to expect but I absolutely loved it. The location of the school is perfect! The teachers were so kind and welcoming and I learnt so much in such a short time frame. Madrid is just a culturally rich place and you get to do a lot of extra activities to learn about the way of life there. I made so many friends from all over the world. I’m looking at coming back for a longer period of time 1-3 months and would 100% recommend this school for anyone wanting to learn Spanish in Spain!

I have nothing but good to say about Expanish, and I highly recommend them. Spanish classes are fun and engaging, and the activities are very fun. But most of all, the staff are warm and welcoming and immediately made me feel cared for in Argentina. Although I had no problems, I would have felt extremely comfortable voicing any concerns, and I know they would have handled them with grace. The energy in the Expanish building is cozy and happy, and I was always excited to go. I wish I could go back.

Studying abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and my experience with Expanish in Buenos Aires was nothing short of incredible. Expanish not only made the logistics seamless but also created a supportive, welcoming, and dynamic environment where I felt encouraged to grow academically, culturally, and personally.

The staff at Expanish is truly what makes this program shine. Every single member of the team is approachable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about helping students succeed. They go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and safe, while also inspiring you to step outside your comfort zone and embrace everything Buenos Aires has to offer.

Cultural immersion is at the heart of Expanish. The program is designed to make sure students don’t just pass through Buenos Aires as tourists but truly experience the city and its culture. Organized excursions were amazing, from tango classes to day trips outside the city, but Expanish also encouraged me to take initiative and explore on my own.

What I loved most was the balance Expanish created: enough structure to feel supported, but enough freedom to grow independently. I never felt lost, but I also never felt boxed in. This balance pushed me to practice Spanish daily, connect with locals, and develop a much deeper understanding of Argentine culture than I could have imagined.

If you’re considering studying abroad or learning Spanish in Buenos Aires, I cannot recommend Expanish enough. Their professionalism, warmth, and dedication make for an experience that is enriching, unforgettable, and truly life-changing.

Given that it’s my first time in South America this program helped me immerse myself in a new culture as well as get familiar and welcomed in the culture through the events hosted as week as visitors to new neighborhoods along side it being a Spanish class. I was able to really think, see, be like a local and create new memories with my classmates. I deeply recommend expanish as I really got to know the staff, teachers, classmates and locals around. I appreciate everyone and my time there. Missing everyone already.
