Student comments about "Intensive Spanish 20" at Expanish
Brigitte
"Course was changed from school to 10 private lessons, course books expensive"
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“Everyone is super friendly & accommodating of requests, such as a change of learning level. If you want to learn, Expanish is definitely a good place to go!”
“The classrooms are a bit small, but that doesn't bother you if you get along well with the other students. The teachers change weekly, which can be good and bad.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: The intensive course with 1 hour of private lessons & 4 hours of group lessons per day was the perfect mix for me to take in as much as possible but not be overwhelmed.
Course: Combined Course 20 + 5 - 1 week

“Motivated and friendly staff, well organised, individual language level is taken into account”
“The complete textbook must also be bought for a week. This includes a CD (no CD player on holiday), MP 3 and answers are available online, but only at extra cost.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Just right for me. There was enough time to practice in the group, then time for individual training in the private lesson. There is enough time to explore the city. However, one week is too little to progress in the language.

“Everyone super nice and helpful, well air-conditioned and organised.”
“Too many breaks and constantly finishing early. Very big differences in the quality of the teachers, from very good to very bad. You change every week and have to buy new books, just join existing groups and start somewhere in the middle of the book. The focus is clearly on the assembly line principle and money-making.”

Student comments about Student Shared Apartment
Merle
"The accommodation and utensils such as furniture, pots and pans are quite outdated. The flat was also not particularly clean and therefore anything but cosy."
Valerian
"When we arrived, everything was still untidy. No working air conditioning and some of the fans were broken. In addition, despite repeated messages, the broken doors and the non-functioning oven had not been repaired. "

Intensive Spanish is the most popular course on offer from Expanish at their Barcelona location. Your Spanish skill development will evolve thanks to 20 hours per week of carefully designed lesson plans that focus on all four of the main areas of learning a second language: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Your classes throughout this course will be small, meaning that you and your teacher will get to know each other more, and thus work effectively together to move you towards your Spanish language goals. You will use a course book as a means of having a clear and well-structured curriculum, and your experienced and passionate teachers will also provide you and your peers with engaging and stimulating activities to supplement this, which might include video clips, debates, and so on.
