 TESTIMONIALS

These are some messages that SpainBcn students or their parents sent us after they have participated in one of our fantastic SpainBcn-Programs in Barcelona.

Hello SpainBcn;
We just wanted to send you a quick thank you. Our son Patrick had a wonderful time at your program.  His host family was fabulous in every possible way; Patrick raved about how nice and helpful they were. Their communication with us was also really helpful and reassuring. Thank you for placing him with such warm and welcoming people.

Patrick also had many other favorable things to say about the program. He learned lots of Spanish, he loved the futbol sessions, and the trips around Barcelona were excellent. We were surprised and impressed to get a mini- lecture on La Sagrada Familia from him when he came home. Thanks also for putting in the extra trouble to make sure he arrived safely after his original flight was canceled.

Again, we could not be happier with your program. Thank you so much for giving him such a terrific experience!

Our daughter, Lily, participated in the first session this past Summer, 2011.

Her experience was exceptional on every level. She adored her host family and all of the programs: Spanish, soccer and cultural.

Thank you for providing such an excellent program that is educational, fun and safe for our children. They learn skills and a true sense of independence.

We would be happy to be listed as a reference for families considering the program for their children.

Again, thank you. Our deepest appreciation,

Billy and Debra McGuire

I believe the majority of us have exhausted our vocabulary when describing to our peers the astounding experience every one of us had in our visit to Barcelona, Spain. With a group of ten, exalted students and one truly wonderful teacher, the entire trip, from day one, was a memory to be cherished.
Organized by the SpainBcn group, we were received at the airport by one of the three coordinators, who assisted us wholeheartedly throughout.

Lasting a total of eight days from March 9th to March 18th, each day possessed an inundated itinerary full of classes, sightseeing, trips to the beach and even time for our personal favourite, shopping. Our day commenced at approximately nine o’ clock with two hours of Spanish classes and then an hour of cultural history relating to the historical location to be visited later that day. Between our trips for lunch and dinner we were served exquisite, traditional Spanish dishes that were personally made for our group. While the trip was an additional academic benefit for the Spanish students, the others gained just as much in terms of visiting a new country and appreciating another culture. We were able to surpass our communication difficulties and relish a successful and fruitful excursion. On behalf of every one of us, we recommend this to anyone who is willing to open their mind to a new world.
From a teacher and group program coordinator
Thank you so much. We are very much looking forward to seeing Quinn later today. His emails have been very enthusiastic about the program and he clearly has enjoyed his family, particularly his brother.

We would like to thank you very much indeed for your great and wounderfull soccer camp and summer program. My two kids loved it big time and enjoyed very much indeed their host families. We hope they did behave well..
Many thanks for the great organisation, for all your help and for everything..."
From Ted Lussier, Austin, Texas. (Students: Michael and Dickson )

Thank you very much for your message. We have been extremely pleased and impressed with the way you run your organization from registration and follow up to the way Teymour was greeted the first day by the coordinators and the host family. Everything was perfect. It was the first time Teymour was abroad for 3 weeks and it was a big relief to know how happy he was. We also know he learned a lot of Spanish during his stay. He also loved his host family, the excursions and the soccer program.

We have recommended your program to a lot of our friends and I think you might see some more of Teymour's friends next year. 

Thank you again. Please extend our thank you to the coordinators and in particular to Miriam who was amazing. 
With warmest regards,

Forouz and Mohamad Sadrieh

Thank you so very much for the wonderful experience Nick had in Spain!. He is absolutely raving about it. He really enjoyed Barcelona, his host family, of course the beach, and the soccer camp. I'm not sure how much Spanish he learned, but he learned to be very comfortable moving about Barcelona, shopping (I love the clothes he bought) and participating in the soccer camp. I know he met many boys from other places in the US and plans to keep in touch with them. He seems to have grown up quite a bit. The experience will be with him forever.

Thank you for keeping an eye on him and getting him and Gabriel, from and to the airport. I can not imagine how hard it is to keep track of those students, coming and going.

Have a good and successful summer. I know Nick did. Best Regards, M.Golden, Austin, Texas USA (Student: Nick)

 My wife, 12-year old son and I spent 3 months in Barcelona and studied at the SpainBcn language school.  We found the entire experience wonderful, most notably the productive and pleasant language learning, the safe urban lifestyle, and the exposure to Spanish and Catalan culture.
We're often asked about the two languages, Castilian (Spanish) and Catalan (the local language of the Cataluña region), and whether this caused any difficulties or confusion during our stay.  To the contrary, we found the combined Spanish/Catalan aspects of Barcelona to be an advantage over other areas in Spain that we visited.  In Barcelona and Cataluña in general, literally all the locals speak both Castilian and Catalan with equal and total fluency.  Likewise all public signage (e.g. in the Metro) is in both languages.  All my family had a wonderful time and I jut can say that now we all love Barcelona and Spain!
From Mr. McClelland - Nevada , USA

Thank you so much for your kindness and all the work you did to make our stay more pleasant. Barcelona is a very busy and interesting city. My son Cyrus is interested in doing the Soccer Program next year.
We'll keep in touch!
Sincerely, Aziz. from Sacramento, California USA

 

 Hello Angeles,
Thank you for you kind note.  I know Addison is having a great experience--with school, his host family, friends from school, and the city of Barcelona! When Addison first arrived, I received long letters about all his experiences--all good.  However, as each day past I heard less from him and knew that it was because he was busy, comfortable, and happy.  He is involved with his life there and happy.  The other day I called him because it had been a few days--he picked up the phone, his voice full of joy.  He was out in a square with friends from school.  Your program, Maria and host family, has been everything we could have hoped for--wonderful.  Thank you!

Warm regards,
Kim Montano

Mi estancia en Barcelona va muy bien. Estoy por primera vez viajando por la península Ibérica. Antes sólo conocía de España las islas mas turísticas y ¡hay una gran diferencia!. Me gusta mucho la manera de vivir de aquí, a otra velocidad y más divertido todo. Y me encanta el tiempo, claro...Pero lo mejor es la escuela donde he estudiado que se llama SpainBCN. Aquí se aprende español de forma muy divertida y además he encontrado gente y estudiantes de todas partes de Europa y también del mundo.

"Dear Angeles and Miriam, I want to thank you for taking such good care of Melissa this past summer. It was very difficult for us to let our 15 year old go to Spain to learn Spanish (she downloaded pictures from your website and posted them all over the house to convince us she should go). We are so glad we did. Now she´s teaching me Spanish! Please send more information about the soccer program! Sincerely, Beth Linder "-

From Mrs. Linder, Orlando, Florida, USA (Student: Melissa).

 

 

 

  
Thanks for taking such good care of our son.  He had a wonderful experience. We think you have a student for next summer too. Thanks!
From NY, Ms. Elizabeth Clark.		 Thank you so much for making this first spanish experience so productive and wonderful. He loved his family and the classes. Thomas said he learned so much and he feels so at home in Barcelona; I think he discovered a country and a people he has fallen in love with! You have a fabulous program: Bravo!
Mrs. Hasse, NY, USA (Student: Thomas)
