My experience at Expanish Málaga

I recently did a week of intensive classes at Expanish school in Malaga and it was absolutely fantastic. It has helped me gain confidence in my Spanish abilities and helped me to prepare for my final year of university as a Spanish degree student. The classes are very well prepared and improve your Spanish overall while keeping it engaging and fun. I stayed in a homestay, and everything was perfect. The food was delicious, and the conversation allowed me to practice more Spanish outside of the classroom, and my host last was so lovely.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If staying in Malaga, bring swimwear and enjoy the beach!

Incredible experience!

I spent two weeks in Málaga at Expanish and I have to say that these two weeks were absolutely wonderful!

• The booking process was easy to manage with the great advice of the helpful and polite staff who explained everything really well
• At Expanish Málaga, all the staff were absolutely friendly as well. The atmosphere at the school was super nice - Right from the moment I entered Expanish Málaga, I just felt so so so welcome there
• The Spanish lessons and school activities were great as well! I learned a lot and got to meet so many amazing people
• During my stay in Málaga, I stayed at a student residence. The room was clean and had everything that I needed during these two weeks.

Overall, it was an incredible experience - maybe one of the best travel experiences I've had so far! I'll never forget that! ¡Muchas gracias!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I'd stay a little longer than two weeks, maybe three weeks or more!
Pros
  • Getting in touch with people from around the globe
  • Improving Spanish
  • Getting to know a knew city / new places you've never been to before

Fantastic!

My experience at Expanish has been fantastic! I took classes for 2.5 weeks and my ability to speak Spanish greatly improved. I really enjoyed my teacher, Catalina. She made classes fun and was always willing to help me when I didn't understand something. Thank you, Expanish!!

5 great weeks with expanish

In my 5 weeks learning spanish with expanish, i improved a lot.
Before i came here i didn't know anything but now i'm able to make a simple conversation. I can talk about the past and the future and ask for important things in my dailey life.
I had 2 nice and good teachers and the small classes with about 6 students are really helpful to improve fast.
But beside the lessons expanish is although supportive with any problems you have and the lessure programm is good too.
All in all i had a great time and i would love to come again.

What would you improve about this program?
In my classroom we had the chairs with the table in one piece.
For me it was really hard to write on them and there was not enough space for all my stuff, like books paper pens...
And after a day sitting on them my back hurts
Seperated tables like in some other classrooms would be better in all aulas, at least for me because i'm quite tall.

Aprendé espańol!

He estudiado español por 4 semanas en la escuela Expanish. El ambiente en la escuela es muy agradable. La escuela está en Microcentro de Buenos Aires. Aqui cerca hay una parada del subte (metro), 5 minutos de la escuela. Cada semana hay una lista de actividades. Por ejemplo: un curso de tango, andar en bicicleta, fiestas, aprender cocina argentina y mas mas. Me encanto mi profesora, porque ella puede expilicar bien las cosas diferentes. Además, ella es paciente y le gusta hacer chistes, me gusta...

What would you improve about this program?
The wifi-system works sometimes really bad.
