I really liked the teachers. The are very dedicated and funny. The location of the school is very good not far from the metro station. What I also liked is the design of the classes, very creative. If you choose Instituto Hemingway Spanish School to learn Spanish, be prepared that there are events every day. The atmosphere is very friendly. You then can combine it with an internship for some weeks/months. This internship enabled me to develop my future profession skills, and provided a lot of fun at the same time. I understood how it really is to teach someone, inspire and engage into the world of knowledge. My work was very pleasant, and thanks to my superiors, I didn't feel any pressure at all, which only made me more creative and kept my internship experience at highest level! If you are ready to experience similar endevours, don't think twice and go for it! :)

This company has an incredible staff. It is not just a website you can apply for an internship, they actively ask how are you doing and help you with anything you may need. I was assisted during the whole process, having received suggestions for doing interviews and also what to do before moving to the city. Thanks to Instituto Hemingway I had the best 6 months of my life in the most beautiful city in the world. I’m so grateful to them for all of their help and would recommend them to anybody!

Amazing internship in Spain

I just finished 4 weeks of Internship in Spain. It was my first time to visit a Spanish speaking country. Instittuo Hemingway arranged a wonderful teaching opportunity for me and beginning Spanish lessons with inspiring teachers. I felt extremely well cared for and supported by a very friendly, enthusiastic staff. I made many new friends from around the world and enjoyed weekend trips into the beautiful countryside. In the end, I know that I received more than I gave. I highlight the infrastructure and equipment, additional services such as English classes (in my case), cultural activities, among others, but above all, emphasized the team in each of the strata composing Hemingway is a high level professional and human, commitment to their work, empathy, warmth, the resolvent in the large and in detail to, among other things.

An incredible experience in Spain

I went to Northern Spain through the Internship to work an internship for a local sports management firm and gain class credit and international work experience. While my primary focus was on the work I was doing for my internship, I also took Spanish classes with Instituto Hemingway 5 times a week in order to keep up with my Spanish as much as possible. The classes were excellent, extremely helpful and there were options for private or group classes. I never had a single problem with safety during my three months working in Northern Spain. Just like any city, you need to pay attention to what's going on around you, but I walked almost everywhere I went (work, language exchanges, classes and bars) and never had a problem. I also loved my housing arrangements. During my time working and studying there, I lived in a five-bedroom, 2 bathrooms.. I had my own room which included a bed, desk, nightstand and wardrobe closet. In addition, my apartment was located right near a bus stop and a metro station.

I loved my internship and did not spend much money on it

This internship enabled me to develop my future profession skills, and provided a lot of fun at the same time. I spent eight fantastic weeks working with animals at my internship in Spain. In the future I want to become a vet, therefore I wanted to spend my summer working with animals and gaining experience in animal behavior and veterinary medicine. The same day when I arrived, I met wonderful people and we had a great time together. I will always remember my first day in Spain when, with my new friends, we went all together to a parade in town. It was one of the best moments that I experienced during my internship. My coordinators were really helpful during my stay. It was the first time that I left home for such a long time and at the beginning, My work was very pleasant, and thanks to my superiors, I didn't feel any pressure at all, which only made me more creative and kept my internship experience at highest level!

Hi there! I had the great opportunity to make my dreams true. My internship in Spain was in a little village on the Mediterranean sea. It was a top hotel. I learned how to manage a hotel by doing lots of different things: welcoming customers, allocating rooms for them waiting tables, tending bar, etc. I met a lot of young people coming from different countries in Europe and we had lots of fun together. Above all I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere I found there. The staff was young and dynamic and we had a good time. My priority was improving my Spanish and I got it. I also took 2 weeks of Spanish courses before going to the placement People at Instituto Hemingway were very helpful!!
