INESLE Madrid & Santander - Spanish Immersion Summer Program

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.

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

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!

INESLE was a wonderful program. We were able to explore many different cultural and significant places in Spain. The residence provided nice room service, and adequate facilities. The mini monitors were funny, reliable, and comforting.

I really enjoyed my time in Madrid and I thought it was a great opportunity to improve my Spanish as well as get to know the culture of Spain. My host family was super nice and welcoming and I think I’ll remember this experience forever.

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.

I liked so much this camp and y had a really god time with my frends and a lot of more people y meet here. Some of the museos were not my favourite but some other things like Sevilla and Toledo y loved them.

Me ha gustado mucho este campamento, y estoy muy agradecida de haber podido participar en este programa. También quería dar las gracias por todas las personas que han hecho este programa posible. Muchas gracias por todo.

Estás dos semanas me han sido muy divertidas haciendo múltiples actividades.Los americanos también se han divertido mucho y han compartido su cultura con nosotros .....................................

Me lo he pasado súper bien en este programa. Tanto en las actividades como en el tiempo libre ha sido un momento de intercambio cultural y de pasar rato con nuevos amigos. Los monitores y mini monitores se han preocupado en todo momento por nosotros y han conseguido que esta experiencia sea inolvidable.

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.

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 truly enjoyed every aspect of this experience and would not change it for the world. I loved my host family as they welcomed me with open arms, and activities were joyous. The cultural immersion is unlike any other I’ve ever experienced and I truly have learned a lot from this program spiritually and academically.

I had loved this program. It have been a very fun program and I have enjoyed a lot. Some activities are better than other for me but I have liked all a lot. It have been a very good month. The experience to have an American person in our house have been very fun and interesting.

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!

It was a nice experience that you can share your memories after with your family and your fliends. It’s an unique experience. I learn a lot of english here. And you also know how american people live their life there. I recomend this experience to everyone

I had so much fun during the program, and I made many new friends from Spain and even the United States. It was dicho an amazing and unique experience that I would recommend to anyone without doubt…..
