The first couple of days were kinda hard to adjust but after that it was pretty cool the whole time, my Spanish is better but it was boring sometimes. I was kinda homesick sometimes but in general it was fun.

Overall experience

The residence is really nice, sometimes the food is a bit not great if you’re not used to it, the language part is good you get a lot better by hearing a lot Spanish the actual classes are really high level they’re mostly the basics to make sure you can have coherent conversation. Overall it was really fun visiting all of the places and hanging out with the others in the program

I had an eye-opening international experience!

This study abroad program was really fun. Though the academics were lacking, I still had lots of fun on the excursions and other activities. The level of the classes during the week was too low, and a few of my friends and I didn’t get the opportunity to do something advanced. However, in general, my Spanish has improved in leaps and bounds and I would still recommend this experience to other people!

My experience in Madrid has been an amazing one. I was exposed to so much more culture than I had expected and I loved it all. My family has been more than welcoming and extremely generous. With their help, my Spanish has improved by leaps and bounds. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn Spanish or about Spain.

Este campamento ha sido una experiencia increíble que no voy a olvidar. Desde el primer día, supe que me lo iba a pasar muy bien, y así ha sido. Las actividades han sido muy divertidas y variadas: desde juegos al aire libre y excursiones por la naturaleza hasta talleres creativos y noches alrededor de la hoguera. Cada día ha sido diferente y emocionante. Lo que más me ha gustado ha sido conocer a tantas personas nuevas. Al principio estaba un poco nervioso, pero todos fueron muy amables y poco a poco fui haciendo amigos. Hemos compartido muchas risas, anécdotas y momentos especiales. Me he dado cuenta de que, aunque venimos de lugares distintos, tenemos muchas cosas en común. Además, he aprendido a convivir en grupo, a ser más independiente y a trabajar en equipo. También he descubierto cosas nuevas sobre mí mismo y me llevo muchos recuerdos bonitos. Sin duda, este campamento me ha ayudado a crecer como persona. Estoy muy agradecido por todo lo vivido y por las personas que he conocido. Ojalá podamos volver a vernos pronto y repetir una experiencia tan bonita como esta.

I met some of the kindest most welcoming people in Spain. My host family was patient while I practiced my Spanish with them, teachers were dedicated to improving my understanding in new and immersive ways. I made friends with native spanish speakers and found a comfortable environment to speak Spanish with no judgement.

I can honestly say that I loved every second of my time with INESLE Madrid. Staying with a host family taught me so much about Spain and the culture. I truly believe that INESLE paired me with the best possible family. From the staff to the kids and families within the program, everyone was super kind and welcoming. INESLE brought me new friendships, experiences, and knowledge. Best of all, my Spanish speaking and understanding improved so much during my 2 weeks in Madrid. So grateful for my time with INESLE! I would easily do it again.

INESLE? The best experience

Unique and Excelent experience. A Chicago boy´s was in our house during 15 days. The Cultural and Funny experience with inesle was very good. This is a very good opportunity to share experience between 2 countries. The directors and team of INESLE are very committed and involvement and this is a good K to get the best result! They have the opportunity to know the most important village near Madrid like Segovia or Toledo and the most important buliding/musseums of Madrid (Plaza Mayor, Museo del Prado, Museo Reina Sofia, Royal Palace, others).

I loved this experience so much and I am going away with nothing but good memories! I got to meet so many people and learn about another country through our classes and excursions, as well as with my host family on our own. We also had time on our own to go experience other parts of surrounding cities, and excursions to other parts of the country such as the Camino de Santiago. Overall I really enjoyed living with my host family, as I now have a relationship with two younger sisters. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone wanting to improve their Spanish language and make international connections!

What inspired you to travel abroad?

What inspired me to work for this organization was the opportunity to share Spanish culture with American students and promote intercultural learning. INESLE offers unique summer programs where American students can learn about the culture, history, and traditions of Spain while having fun and making international friends. Additionally, the work environment is highly collaborative, and the team is committed to excellence in teaching and student training. All of this made me feel that INESLE was the perfect place to put my skills and experience as a monitor into practice and make a meaningful difference in the lives of the students.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

As an English teacher, I love seeing children enjoy learning a new language and wanting to learn for themselves. INESLE Educación works hard to provide a variety of dynamic activities that the kids love to fully immerse them with the language they’re learning whether that is English or Spanish. INESLE Madrid does this in a way that is completely different than a typical classroom setting.
