Two weeks on a
Spanish Standard course in Barcelona as part of her Gap Year

I expected a high standard of teaching, friendly people and sunshine. I feel my expectations were met. My teacher was fantastic and I learnt a lot during my two week course.

The lessons were great, my teacher insisted that we only spoke Spanish and encouraged us to speak it outside of lessons for example ordering food in the school cafe.

Spanish studies in Barcelona

I have always loved the Spanish language and I wanted to become more fluent.  I also thought that improving my Spanish would help me in the future for job opportunities in the Travel and Tourism sector.

I found CESA through my college in Bristol and decided to give you a call. Barcelona had always been a place I wanted to visit – so I was pretty fixed on it as my location choice.   Read More »

Spanish in Barcelona

Standard Course in Barcelona

I had GCSE Spanish and felt if my language skills were going to be of any use to me I’d better take them further than this!  In truth my GCSE Spanish really wasn’t worth a lot, but I was able to start from elementary rather than beginner level, even though I had no confidence in speaking the language at all.

Standard Course

I felt the school community was terrific – the staff and teachers were friendly and easy going and everyone was very approachable.  The lessons were well prepared and having to speak in Spanish throughout classtime every morning made a huge difference to my confidence and overall ability (though it was very tiring at times).  Read More »

Spanish Gap Year Course

web8Howard
8 week Spanish course

“I expected to find the course very difficult linguistically as I had found French at school very hard. I did not expect the lessons to be very interesting, as I’ve not found languages interesting in the past. I was unsure what to expect from my accommodation because I had heard of people having bad experiences with other organisations, although I had heard positive reports about CESA. Read More »
