Testimonials
“Things are going so well here! This opportunity has surpassed my expectations! It’s incredible here at the Gardens and in Edinburgh. I’m truly in love in with all of it. I can’t believe there’s only less than 2 weeks left now. I hope I find my way back here one day.”
“Everything is going wonderfully here in Uruguay! I’m planning on visiting a tango show with my friend this weekend and also visiting the language exchange here in Montevideo which is held every Saturday. My work placement is a perfect fit for me- I’ve been translating a lot of guidelines for cancer treatments into Spanish- which is challenging, but satisfying and rewarding. My office has also moved so I’m enjoying taking a different route there every morning. Overall- I’m loving it! I wish I could stay longer.”
“Everything has been PERFECT. My internship is going great and my projects aren’t too demanding. The host mother is the sweetest woman EVER and the other Ecuadorians in the house are very friendly and welcoming. I’ve been traveling around Ecuador as well and I must say, this country is GORGEOUS. I’ve made some great Ecuadorian friends and had some unforgettable experiences. I honestly couldn’t ask for more.”
“Things are great. I feel pretty adjusted, and am enjoying my time here. I just finished my two weeks of Spanish classes and have officially started my internship at Spanish Institute. Everything is running smoothly.”
“Things are going well here! The internship experience has been invaluable. It’s immersive, challenging and rewarding at the same time. I get to engage with many students of all ages and participate in classes with different teachers. It is good because I can get a sense of what age group I would like, but because it’s not a set schedule with the same students, it’s hard to develop a rapport with them. I think to get the most out this particular language school internship, a longer internship would be even better.
The schedule is busy during the week with the internship, as it is in the evening and I have language classes in the morning. So I have time to explore the city on the weekends. One of the best things about this experience is meeting the new people, both locals and solo visitors like myself. I’m lucky to have met a few people at the school during Spanish lessons who are in a similar age group to me. We get along pretty well and it’s been great getting to know them. The family that I am living with has been great, really warm, kind and welcoming.”
“I just finished my Spanish class today. I loved it; my teacher and classmates were very kind. Recently, I have visited lots of parks and museums. Today, I called Julianna about my upcoming internship. I’m very excited to start on Monday, and I will let you know how it goes!”
“This is my first time studying abroad and I am so happy I chose this program. First, the price was more affordable than anything else I found in my month of searching! I was also able to get student aid which helped so much. Also the staff were so supportive and responsive to any issue I had both before/during the program and while in Sevilla. I personally took 4 classes which I thought was perfect! I had enough time to do well in my classes and also travel all around Europe. Also, taking all of my classes in Spanish skyrocketed my fluency and understanding. The classes themselves were very manageable in content and work load and I loved all my professors. The program advisors were reaching out often which made me feel secure as well … The location was perfect. The final housing I had was as a roommate in the same house as a host and her student. This was amazing for me because I had language/ cultural immersion, student company, and independence. Every student I spoke to loved this program as well.”
“I just finished making reviews on all three sites. Spain has been fantastic, and I am so sad that it is ending. I am not too good at remembering to take photos, but here are a few.”
“My experience has been wonderful so far. Sevilla is an amazing city, there’s so much to explore! I really enjoyed going to the Alcázar yesterday. I’ve also been going to Alameda de Hércules with friends a lot which has been very fun. My classes are going well, I like [the language classes] and my professors are nice!”
