What our student interns say about us
I enjoyed two months of evening classes. The school, our wonderful teacher Javier and my classmates made it a great experience. Gracias!
Once I started with Expanish, finding the internship was simple! I told them my goals and interests for what I wanted for my internship and the companies they chose were on point!
Even when I doubted my own language skills, being at Expanish pushed me to expand my vocabulary and become more confident speaking Spanish.
