My Spanish Breakthrough

April 10, 2026by: John Rodriguez - United States

Program: Private Spanish courses in Bilbao

10

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

My Beach Cleanup Experience with Instituto Hemingway

Program: Volunteer Programs in Spain

Volunteering in beach cleaning with Instituto Hemingway was a truly rewarding experience. The program was well organized, combining meaningful environmental work with cultural exchange. Each day, we helped remove plastic and waste from beautiful coastal areas, seeing immediate results from our efforts. The staff was supportive and friendly, making everyone feel welcome. It was also a great opportunity to meet people from different countries and work together for a common cause. Overall, it was inspiring, impactful, and unforgettable.

Cleaning beaches after class was always a great experience

More Than a School, a Second Home

April 06, 2026by: Peter Lopez - United States

Program: Study Spanish in Bilbao, Spain

10

My experience at Instituto Hemingway was truly unforgettable. The classes were not only effective but also fun and engaging, thanks to teachers who are incredibly patient and supportive. They take the time to make sure everyone understands, creating a relaxed and motivating atmosphere. What makes this place special is the feeling that the whole school is one big team—a kind of family where you instantly feel at home. You’re not just learning Spanish, you’re starting a new chapter, meeting people, and growing every day. I also loved living in a shared flat with people my age, which made everything more social and natural. Being able to walk to school was super convenient, and the cultural activities added so much to the experience. The school is also fully inclusive, welcoming everyone with open arms. And the city? Simply amazing—vibrant, beautiful, and full of life. I’d recommend it to anyone.
