Spanish Express Reviews

On an educational holiday you’ll improve your language skills and engage in the local culture even more through living and studying in your teacher’s home and having the opportunity to spend 24 hours amongst locals.

Spending time in another country is one of the best decisions you can make, boosting your independence and confidence, and providing invaluable experience that will make you stand out to future employers, this is why I chose this unique opportunity. Mónica helped me a great deal with Spanish for business which will be very handy when I start my next job in Barcelona.

Because Italian and Spanish appear so similar, we can generally read the other language without difficulty. However, when it comes to spoken forms, things become a little more complicated. The two have nearly 80% lexical similarity, which means that 80% of Spanish words have an equivalent in Italian.

We had a varied social schedule with plenty of excursions and activities. I love nature and animals so Mónica made sure to organise plenty of walks around the Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor, the first 'park of silence' in Spain; I also spend a great deal of time playing with Rumba and Samba, two female Golden Retrievers that will steal anyone's heart.
