Rating: 5/5

Salamanca was awesome! It was big enough that there was lots to do, but small enough that it was easy to navigate and also very safe. The climate was also wonderful – dry but very summery!

I had only seen pictures of the city, so I didn't actually get to know much of it until I got there. It is an interesting city with a lot of history and proud people.

Salamanca has a very interesting old university and public library to wonder through with amazement, as do most cities in Europe. Salamanca is not near a beach.

Ester, Leire and Hester were welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly, encouraging. The lessons were engaging and confidence building. The lessons were never easy, but they were structured in a way that positively supported my learning. The facilities were appropriate to my needs. Overall I felt challenged and I think the phrase poco a poco is a good summary as well as philosophy. I would definately go back when time, money and circumstances allow it. Many thanks

Estudio Sampere

Everything was in Spanish and they wanted us to speak as much as possible, which helps a lot. One teacher used the first bit of the class to just chat in Spanish about a topic of our choice and that was really helpful just to get a feeling for the language (I was a total beginner when I first arrived).
The teachers and managers were really nice and helpful. In my time there, there was a lot of American students and not to many from other places. But everybody was nice and friendly and I made some really nice friends!
