Program Reviews

My immersion course at the homes of Raquel and Pilar was truly marvelous. In just three weeks, I witnessed a remarkable improvement in my spoken Spanish. Before booking, I underestimated the extent of its benefits, and I am profoundly grateful to Raquel and Pilar for their professionalism in Spanish instruction and for guiding me through the most enchanting places in Murcia and Cartagena, particularly during my stay in La Manga del Mar Menor.

I'm looking forward to repeating this experience in another city in Spain, and this time, I am eager to share it with my best friends. Perhaps at La Tomatina de Valencia!

I recommend this experience at 100%. It encompasses quality, professionalism, and exceptional human warmth.

I can't put my experience into words. Honestly, I was skeptical about traveling abroad for a week and staying with a host teacher. However, Monica and her home truly embodied the essence of family. Her pets greeted me with warmth and open hearts.

My Spanish fluency significantly improved after all those conversations with Monica and her family. Her parents played a crucial role in the immersion process. They assisted me in practicing my Spanish at breakfast, lunch, dinner, evening tea, and almost all the time.

We went shopping, visited historical sites, and even had a party night at Monica's house. Overall, it was a joyous week that I spent in Barcelona with Spanish Express.

Our Spanish immersion journey in Girona was absolutely fantastic, all thanks to the dynamic duo – the two Monicas! One Monica was not only an exceptional teacher but also a master of language acquisition, seamlessly blending structured lessons with personalized conversations tailored to our needs. And then there's the other Monica – a delightful entertainer and knowledgeable local guide who made us laugh at any occasion.

In the charming town of Sant Feliu de Guixols, we enjoyed moments just steps away from the tranquil beach. Our exploration extended beyond the sun-drenched shores to the historic streets of Girona city, where we were captivated by its ancient charm and rich culture.

In essence, our experience at the two Monicas' place was more than just about learning Spanish. It was a comprehensive journey into Spanish life, leaving us all enriched and inspired by the experience. I certainly love travelling with a group of friends that share the same interests about Spanish language and culture. We are already planning our next immersion programme with Spanish Express in Barcelona and Valencia.

My Spanish immersion experience in Girona was absolutely incredible, especially with the dynamic duo of Monicas. From the get-go, the vibe was relaxed and cozy, and both Monicas were just awesome.

Monica 1 wasn't just a teacher; she was the ultimate language guru. Her teaching style was laid-back yet effective, mixing structured lessons with casual chats. She really got us and customized the lessons to match our travel plans. We seriously boosted our Spanish skills in record time! And let me tell you about Mónica 2 - she's a whole other level! An amazing entertainer, local guide, and more. We laughed so hard, our jaws hurt!

Now, let's talk about the location. It was simply incredible, nestled in the beauty of Girona province, in a charming town called Sant Feliu de Guixols, just a stone's throw from the beach. It was the perfect spot for our group to learn and have a blast together.

Besides beach days, we also explored Girona city, which was bursting with history and charm. Those narrow streets and ancient buildings really immersed us in Spanish culture.
Overall, our time at the two Monicas' place was way beyond just learning Spanish. It felt like a complete dive into Spanish life, and every moment was an absolute joy.

Taking part in Pilar's Spanish immersion program in Valencia was life-changing. Her welcoming hospitality and professional guidance fostered an ideal learning atmosphere. The customized lessons were adjusted to my proficiency level, and Pilar's patient teaching technique helped me comprehend intricate concepts with ease.

Living with a native qualified Spanish teacher allowed me to practice and improve my own Spanish through daily conversations at the same time asking grammar questions. This significantly boosted my confidence. Pilar's enthusiasm for teaching, as well as her thorough understanding of the language and its culture, added a great deal to each lesson. In addition, I was incredibly fortunate to have her guidance in discovering the hidden treasures and rich history of Valencia.

This program didn't only enhance my language skills but also enabled me to fully experience the lifestyle of the area. This was an effective way to learn Spanish while enjoying the stunning Valencia surroundings and making new friends.

Spanish and Latin American vibes are everywhere in the US. Being bilingual is a big plus for lots of jobs, and I'm all about leveling up my career using my Spanish skills. I've been hitting up job interviews with some international companies that have offices in Barcelona, Spain. That's why I signed up for the Spanish Homestay Immersion Program (SHIP) in Barcelona. It's my chance to put all that Spanish knowledge I've been soaking up into action.
Spanish Express also has this online program that pairs up perfectly with SHIP in Spain.

Mónica's been my Spanish sensei for business stuff, helping me fine-tune my CV and get ready for job interviews for a whole year. Then, we finally met up in Spain for two weeks. Not only did I polish up my Spanish, but I also got the lowdown on doing business in Spain, soaked in the culture, checked out the art scene, and way more.

Seriously, if you're looking to step up your career game using Spanish, I totally recommend this program. It's the real deal.

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.

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.
