6 months in Barcelona

Im here in Barcelona for 6 months in total. I am staying with a hostfamily.
They are really nice and there for me all the time. The food is really good and healthy!
The school is modern, not too big and everyone is treating you like family.
The staff and the teacher are always funny, try to have a vibe and are there for you if you need something. The lessons are interesting and the activities provided are diverse and funny and good to get to know all the people.

EF Barcelona

My experience en EF has been better than I ever could have imagined. To start, the people working in EF Barcelona are best, not only very professional but also fantastic people who you’ll never forget. The students you’ll meet here, in whatever age group you are, you’ll remeber for the rest of your life. The way I have evolved as a person, not only in spanish, is incredible and since arriving with 0 Spanish in my locker I can, 8 months later, speak a very good level of Spanish. If you feel like you want to try something new and meet fantastic people across the world that you’ll never forget then EF Barcelona is the best spot. With only one week left I can look back at the last 8 months with nothing else than happiness.
