Super cours d'espagnol

J'ai passé une semaine en immersion totale chez Pilar, professeur d'espagnol près de Valence.
Les cours prodigués sont excellents. Pilar s'adapte parfaitement au niveau de l'étudiant et fait ses cours sur des thèmes que l'on choisit, avec toujours un vocabulaire actuel, adapté aux discussions de tous les jours.
Le logement est parfait. La maison est grande, calme dans un environnement arboré. En plus d'être une très bonne professeur, Picardie est également très bonne cuisinière. Elle vous fait découvrir également la cuisine du pays.
L'apres-midi je profitais de ballades ou visites des environs avec Pilar. J'ai ainsi pu découvrir la ville de Valencia, et des plages autour de Gilet.
Je recommande vivement ce cours

Translation:
I spent a week in total immersion with Pilar, a Spanish teacher near Valencia.
The courses provided are excellent. Pilar adapts perfectly to the level of the student and gives her lessons on themes that we choose, always with current vocabulary, adapted to everyday discussions.
The accommodation is perfect. The house is large, quiet in a wooded environment. In addition to being a very good teacher, Picardie is also a very good cook. She also introduces you to the country's cuisine.
In the afternoon I enjoyed walks or visits to the surrounding area with Pilar. I was able to discover the city of Valencia, and the beaches around Gilet.
I highly recommend this course

Best immersion experience I have ever had

I stayed for one week in Barcelona, with the intention of boosting my language skills before returning to university (where I study Spanish). From the moment I enrolled on the course, Mónica was nothing but helpful and enthusiastic. The week consisted of Spanish classes (Mónica was so adaptable and helped me with the things I specifically wanted to practice) and Spanish immersion activities, including exciting excursions to the beautiful places Barcelona has to offer, and fun activities like kayaking and walking Mónica’s beautiful puppies in the scenic mountains. Mónica well and truly shared her culture with me, and exposed me to the ways of the Spanish people, from mealtimes to actually meeting some of her close family and friends. She gave me a well-rounded experience of immersion, and one which shall stay with me forever. My favourite thing about the course was the fact that I wasn’t just there to learn; I was there to enjoy my time, and Mónica made that possible for me. We didn’t just talk about Spanish grammar, but we had conversations about everyday life, and REAL things that I was passionate about. It was so effortless and natural. Conversation never felt forced or uncomfortable with Mónica. I will certainly be back…it hasn’t even been a week and I’m already ready to come back! Thank you so much to Spanish Express for such a wonderful time.

Pros
  • My host (Mónica) was absolutely faultless. I felt so comfortable in her home.
  • The town where I stayed was beautiful.
  • The flexibility of the course, and being able to create a plan with Mónica which fit my needs and interests.
Cons
  • Not staying longer!

Participating in the Spanish immersion program at Santiago's house in Menorca, nestled in the enchanting Balearic Islands, was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into Santiago's cozy home, setting the tone for an immersive and personalized language learning journey. The one-on-one lessons were tailored to my individual needs, ensuring steady progress and a deeper understanding of Spanish.

Living with a native Spanish speaker on the picturesque island of Menorca was a unique opportunity. Daily interactions in Spanish provided me with the chance to practice and improve my language skills, and Santiago's patience and encouraging guidance made the learning process enjoyable and effective. His expertise in teaching and passion for the language were evident in every lesson, making even the most complex concepts easy to grasp.

Exploring the stunning landscapes and rich culture of Menorca under Santiago's guidance was a true highlight. From breathtaking beaches to historic sites, I gained a deeper appreciation for the island's history and traditions. The program provided an immersive and authentic experience that extended beyond language learning, allowing me to connect with the local community and create lasting memories.

In conclusion, the Spanish immersion program in Menorca was a transformative experience that combined effective language learning with cultural exploration. If you're looking for an unforgettable way to learn Spanish while enjoying the beauty of the Balearic Islands, this program is an excellent choice.

Immensely rewarding

Enrolling in the Spanish immersion program at Pilar's house in Valencia was an exceptional decision. Pilar's warm and inviting home provided the perfect backdrop for an immersive language learning experience. The customized lessons were tailored to my learning goals, ensuring that I progressed at a comfortable pace while challenging myself. Living with a native speaker was a game-changer; I found myself engaging in meaningful conversations and learning colloquial expressions that aren't often covered in textbooks. Pilar's teaching style was both informative and enjoyable, making each lesson a valuable learning opportunity. Exploring Valencia with their local insights was a highlight; I got to experience the city's culture and history in a way that only a resident could provide. This immersion program not only helped me improve my Spanish but also allowed me to create lasting memories and connections. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone seeking an immersive and authentic way to learn Spanish while discovering the beauty of Valencia.

Immersion Course

My experience was amazing! Pilar is a very sweet person and an amazing teacher. Not only did I learn a lot but I also ate some great food while staying in the house. Pilar took us to all of the places we wanted to go and was very thoughtful about my gluten allergy. I am very happy I got to experience life in Valencia while also improving my Spanish immensely! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone trying to learn or improve their Spanish because it is a super fun way to learn and experience.

Pros
  • Learned the Language
  • Ate great food
  • Made friends
Cons
  • It was hot

Curso inmersión en Valencia

Pilar was a wonderful hostess, and an even better teacher. She was very accommodating to heath restrictions, and always provided what we needed. Her course was the best Spanish classes I’ve taken, and I learned more here in 3 weeks than I have in 3 years in high school. I feel confident in my ability to speak above basic Spanish, and have a good understanding of how the language works. I also had the ability to walk to several hikes while I was here, and took advantage. The nature here is different than my country, and I loved experiencing new things while wondering the wilderness.

Pros
  • The fantastic views, many hikes available
  • Many excursions
  • Wonderful cooking
Cons
  • No air conditioning
