I went to Barcelona this past summer from the United States to study Spanish at the Expanish school and my experience there was incredible. It was my first time traveling to another country alone and they made me feel safe. He helped me when I had any problems or questions. I learned a lot of things and above all it was very fun learning with other students from different parts of the world.
Great language school! Made most of my friends from the school because it's such a fun and conversational environment! Enjoyed the staff and the after class activities.
One of my favorite parts about studying abroad was living with my host mom. Expanish did a really good job pairing me and my friend with her because we have a lot of the same interests and we had a lot to talk about.
