I had a great experience at the Spanish school in Barcelona! The teachers were super friendly and sympathetic, and I loved that they offered fun activities where I could meet new people. I learned a lot, especially from the outdoor classes while exploring the city - such a unique way to study!

My Expanish trip was, looking back, one of the best things I've done. I have memories for life and think the school is very well organized. The reception helped me with private problems and it was like having my parents with me haha. I lived for a short while with Oscar whom I really love

I had a wonderful experience with my C2 level Spanish course. I met professional and nice teachers from different backgrounds and countries having the chance to enjoy different accents and regional expressions too! Expanish is not only a place where you can learn Spanish, they also organize social activities as well. If you want to study Spanish in Barcelona, this could be the right place!
