A lovely time in Spain learning and working

April 21, 2019by: Sandra Fortuny - United States

Instituto Hemingway was truly a great help. It's a group of great professionals who helped me in everything I needed, always giving the information that I requested. Without them, I could not have found the company that I did an internship in. I really liked to do an internship in the company. All members of the company were very welcoming and friendly. About my internship, it was and it is the best thing in my life. I really really enjoyed it. It was something different but people made it super nice and easy for me. They were supporting, caring and nice and they taught me a lot of things at the same time. But I need to be honest, in the beginning, it was hard. I didn't expect to work like that, I am talking about split shifts every day because I was told that I would do that occasionally but it was every day actually. But in the end, it all worked out because if I knew that before I wouldn't go. In my opinion, this is an amazing opportunity for young people to try something new, learn different stuff and meet beautiful people. I can definitely say that I met people for life. They were my family all time long and I can not thank them enough for everything they did for me. In the end, all I can say is that I am already looking for another internship

I enjoyed so much working and living in Spain!

I came to Spain to do an internship where in a hotel in Northern Spain. The placement is in is a really beautiful place and it was great to live by the beach as the weather there was amazing. I worked as a receptionist in the hotel there and I really enjoyed it and gained a lot of experience. First of all a big thanks to Instituto Hemingway for organising this internship for me. The whole process was very simple. Regarding the internship it was all mostly a positive experience. I feel like I learned a lot at my time with the company.

Learning Spanish while working was a great experience

My experience with Instituto Hemingway was absolutely amazing. I got so much out of it. From improving my Spanish to traveling all over Spain, it was definitely the best 3 months of my life. I met so many amazing people, some who will be friends for life. I highly recommend taking the 3-4 weeks taking Spanish courses before going to work to a hotel.
