Study Abroad in Barcelona - Summer Session

I really enjoyed passing my 1 week intensive Spanish course at Expanish Buenos Aires! It was a wonderful experience for me: I learned a lot and/because I had so much fun in the C1 course; best possible group and teacher I could imagine. I also really liked the conversation course with the expeditions to museums. And: The school atmosphere is so welcoming, cosmopolitan and open minded; a perfect place to enlarge the horizon and get to know new people. Thank you so much!!!

I have mixed feelings about my 10 week program. I had numerous teachers and most were very good and a couple exceptional. The mixed feeling are because I started at B1-1 and we completed 2 chapters a week through B1-1 and in the beginning of B1-2 which was great. Then the school combined students from B-2, my B1-2 class and the B1-1 class. The different ability levels was terrible and the teachers slowed to compensate for the lower level students. In my last 3 weeks in the school I only completed 3 chapters of the B1-2 book, not acceptable. Also the politically motivated topics for practice discussions in the B-1 level in a culturally mixed audience is wrong. We did not have sufficient vocabularies to adequately discuss topics without confusion.

Exspanish is a wonderful school to learn Spanish in Barcelona. I had a great time and will continue my studies here for the next 3 months. Thanks to the Exspanish administration and teachers it is easy to learn everyday Spanish and get to know the city with the cultural excursions.
