How Students Rate Our School
What Our Students Say When They Learn Spanish with Us
I recommend Expanish Barcelona to anyone who wants to learn a language with highly qualified teachers, excellent programs, and an international, welcoming, and respectful atmosphere. Without a doubt, it’s a school that exceeds expectations and offers a first-rate educational experience.
An unforgettable experience! The school is wonderful, both for its facilities and its curriculum. In just two weeks of classes, I improved my language skills, earned a great certificate, and made lots of friends. I highly recommend, it’s the best Spanish school in the world.
I spent three weeks at Expanish in Barcelona in March 2026, and I enjoyed every second of it! The city is beautiful, and the school is fantastic. The classes were intensive and varied (grammar in the mornings, conversation in the afternoons, and two weekly field trips with different themes). It was a wonderful experience!
A happy, serious, intense moment that allowed me to improve my practice in a place where I didn't have to worry about a headache. If I could, I'd go back! The photo reminds me of the view I saw every day when I took the subway to school, which was very close by!
I spent two weeks immersing myself in Spanish as I took my first steps in learning the language. The experience was excellent in every way: the welcome, the atmosphere, the quality of the teachers, the private lessons, the activities designed to help me delve deeper into the language, and the homestay with a host family.
