Best decision I’ve made!

In 2021, I spontaneously decided to move to Madrid after discovering the Canterbury English lifestyle programme. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Moving to a new country is never easy, but the supportive staff and fellow Canterbury students made the transition smooth and enjoyable. The programme has really enriched my life!

One of the highlights has been the Spanish classes, which have significantly improved my language skills. Thanks to these classes, I recently sat the DELE B1 exam and can now confidently navigate the city on my own. The programme's structure ensures that learning is both effective and engaging, making the entire process enjoyable.

Madrid is a great city, and the Canterbury English programme has ensured that I make the most of it. Weekends are packed with cultural events, allowing me to immerse myself in the local culture and history. I’ve particularly enjoyed trips to nearby cities such as Segovia and Toledo. Also, I've made lifelong friendships with people I would never have met otherwise.

As a music and flamenco enthusiast, living in Spain has been a dream come true. I take weekly flamenco classes and I am well integrated into that community, allowing me to participate in something cultural that I am passionate about.

Overall, the Madrid lifestyle programme has been an incredible journey of learning, cultural immersion, and personal growth. The combination of language support, cultural activities, and a welcoming community has made my time in Madrid unforgettable - I never want to leave!
