My Spanish Breakthrough

April 10, 2026by: John Rodriguez - United States

My experience with private Spanish classes at Instituto Hemingway was outstanding. In just four weeks, I made remarkable progress thanks to the perfect balance between a relaxed and professional atmosphere. The lessons were tailored to my needs, which made learning both effective and enjoyable. A special mention goes to Alba, who is an incredible teacher—patient, engaging, and highly skilled. Every class felt motivating and dynamic. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve their Spanish quickly and confidently.

Touching the world. This is how I felt with Spanish private lessons

Absolutely a must in Bilbao!

I spent 11 months in Hemingway. It was a great experience for me. This school offers everything to make living in a foreign country easier for you. Besides learning the Spanish language they offer a huge variety of leisure time activities. I got to know a lot of people in this school and the motivation to visit a language school in a foreign country was a different one for each of them. But there was always a common agreement amongst all of us: The quality of Hemingway is great. The teachers are the best ones I’ve ever had. Each one tries to take into consideration the wishes and needs of all of the students, which is not an easy thing, but they manage and they do it with a lot of charm and professionalism at the same time. One can learn Spanish at this school, have a lot of fun and even make friends. The school is situated quite central next to Casco Viejo area. An incredible place to chill out during lunch time and to recuperate the Spanish you learned during the day. I just can recommend Hemingway for everyone that wants to improve his Spanish knowledge or also for those who want to learn the language from the very beginning.

I loved this school from the very beginning
