Long-term and Semester Spanish Courses in Spain

Instituto Hemingway offers long-term Spanish courses that truly work. Teachers are skilled and supportive, lessons are engaging, and the immersive environment in Bilbao helps you progress quickly. I improved my fluency and confidence every week. Highly recommended!

I didn't know what to expect with Instituto Hemingway but it ended up exceeding my expectations. I wasn't sure if a school like this would provide the education, I was looking for, but it was actually a great benefit. The professors and administrative staff knew me well and were very attentive to my needs. When I had to make changes to my schedule, the staff was very accommodating. With the classes and my private tutor sessions, I feel like I now have a good grasp of the Spanish language. The classes were structured well and not overpacked with students. This was great as it enabled for more participation from everyone and, at the same time, helped us getting to know each other better more quickly. I also took afternoon individual classes. These were excellent too as they were tailored to anything I wanted to learn or topics I was struggling with. All my teachers were amazing. They were kind, funny and very knowledgeable. This made learning really interesting and enjoyable the entire time. I liked the variety of activities they used for teaching, especially the class Kahoots! in the afternoons and evenings free leisure and cultural activities every day were programmed and it was awesome!! My apartment was located 15 minutes away by foot. I actually enjoyed traveling to school in the morning as I got to see different parts of Bilbao that I wouldn't have seen if located closer. I shared an apartment with two flat mates who were all very nice. The apartment had everything and felt at home

I’ve been wanting to improve my Spanish for a while now, but always felt I didn’t have the time. Well I finally got myself into action and signed up for a summer course. It was the perfect way to combine a lovely Spanish holiday in the sun while finally improving my Spanish. The teachers are lovely and super helpful and program has so much to offer around the city that I didn’t feel like I was in school, but just having a very productive perfect summer holiday. Would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to enjoy a great city and leave speaking Spanish! A very well-run centre with modern,clean facilities. The staff were knowledgable, helpful and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend attending courses here. They also helped me with visa because finally I stayed here 4 months in total.
