Not worth the money!!

by: Rolene Vick - AustraliaProgram: International Internship Programs with Adelante Abroad

I was volunteering in Spain as a language assistant at Kingsbrook, however it wasn’t exactly how I thought it would be. I thought I would be learning how to plan and organise lessons and help out more during classes with the kids. Thinking this would lead to teaching English in the future. I did not do any of this! I’m disappointed by how much money I paid and getting little in return back for a future job. I would not recommended using adelante abroad for your volunteer placements!

Dear Rolene, we received notification of your review below and were surprised for two main reasons: 1) your program ended 6 months ago and 2) we sent you checking-in emails regularly during your Program, and to each, your responses were incredibly positive (including happy face emojis!) So, I am going to respond here to your apparent dissatisfaction which we are just now learning about: you participated in a short, 6 – week summer internship with us last year and your Spanish level was Beginner / no Spanish. You wanted to do a Fashion internship or Marketing which, per our website and what we communicated to you, is not possible without at least some Spanish. Since you really wanted to get abroad, you opted to do the only option available for our Beginner speakers, which is Teaching English. We were VERY clear that you would not be in a school setting with children, as we not do any kind of deep background check on our candidates, rather you would be working at a private language institute mostly with adults, teaching them English. We offered to also try and include some marketing duties as that was one of your original internship sector requests, which was an extra effort on our part and to which, again, you responded positively the various times we checked in with you about that. Everything you signed up for and paid for, you received with us in Barcelona, plus some add-ons, and all in a timely and professional manner. Our experiential programs abroad are some of the most economical which is possible to see in a few minutes of comparing programs and why candidates sign up with us. Again, this review does come as a shock to us given all the positive communication you gave us during your time abroad.

Exploring Ecuador: 2 month internship

Working for a civil engineering and architecture firm in Ecuador was the best way I could have spend the summer before my senior year of college. The program staff did a great job of preparing me for what my experience was going to be like abroad. My time in Ecuador stated with two weeks of one-on-one Spanish classes which dramatically improved my ability to speak the language. I lived with an Ecuadorian family which also helped improved my Spanish skills. My host mom cooked incredible traditional food and informed me on the best places to visit throughout my time. During my internship, I learned specific vocabulary necessary for working in a construction field, learned the differences between construction and engineering requirements in Ecuador and in the States, and learned how to communicate professionally in Spanish. I spent all of my weekends exploring different cities and places in Ecuador and learning more about their culture. These two months were an incredible experience and I cannot wait to return to Latin America.
