An Exceptional Learning Experience in Bilbao
January 26, 2025by: Luna Sellmark - United KingdomProgram: Study Spanish in Bilbao, SpainI recently completed a Spanish course in Bilbao, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. The city itself is stunning, with its blend of modern architecture, rich history, and vibrant culture—it’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in Spanish life. The school provided a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, making it easy to feel at home. The teachers were highly skilled and patient, tailoring lessons to suit different levels and learning styles. Their dedication and enthusiasm truly made a difference in my progress. My accommodation was excellent—clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. It offered the perfect balance of privacy and the chance to connect with others. The cultural activities were another highlight. From exploring the Guggenheim Museum to tasting traditional Basque cuisine and joining local festivals, every moment was both fun and enriching. These experiences brought the language and culture to life in a way that goes beyond the classroom. I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to any adult learner looking to improve their Spanish while enjoying a rich cultural experience. Bilbao and this school exceeded all my expectations!

Amazing experience
January 26, 2025by: Jonah Morrison - United StatesProgram: Study Spanish in Bilbao, SpainI just finished my Spanish course in Bilbao, and honestly, it exceeded all my expectations! First off, the city is absolutely incredible—so full of life, culture, and amazing food. From day one, I felt completely welcomed, and the vibe at the school was unbeatable. The teachers were fantastic—super engaging, supportive, and really made learning Spanish fun. I actually looked forward to class every day, which says a lot! The school also set me up with a great place to stay, and the accommodation was perfect. It was clean, comfortable, and I got to meet some awesome people my age. And the cultural activities? They were a blast! From exploring the Guggenheim to pintxos tours and hikes, there was always something cool going on. It wasn’t just about learning Spanish but also experiencing the culture and making memories. If you’re young, adventurous, and want to improve your Spanish while having an unforgettable time, I 100% recommend this program. You won’t regret it!

Growing up with various multicultural experiences led me to study abroad. I hosted a Spanish exchange student for a month, and she hosted me at her home with her family in Aguilar de Campoo, Spain. Additionally, during my Senior year of high school, my family and I hosted a Norwegian student. After my first year of undergraduate studies, I volunteered in Ecuador for a Summer and during my Junior year, I studied abroad in Moldova and Russia. Upon graduation, I moved to Costa Rica and lived there for about two and half years.

I honestly don't know where the idea of me studying abroad stemmed from. I just knew I wanted to learn Spanish in Spain. The first time I went abroad was the summer after my freshman year of college and I thank that trip for increasing my interest in the international world too. I couldn't believe how different another culture was from mine. I felt that there was always something to learn and someone to meet.
