What our student interns say about us
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.
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.
