Testimonials
Laura M., in the basic option
“I chose to do the basic program with ConversaSpain. It suits me really well as I wanted to gain more teaching experience within a primary school and that is exactly what is happening. I would definitely recommend this experience. There is a fee to begin the program, but it is really helpful having people to advise you on the paperwork you need to live in Spain. Whenever I have emailed ConversaSpain, I have always had a quick response, which is great”
Testimonials
Grant H., in the immersion week
“I would recommend the experience with ConversaSpain as it was great to have a guaranteed placement and the support before coming to Spain was very helpful. I chose the immersion week option and was very happy. It gave me a good introduction to some of the main sites of Madrid, but more importantly allowed me to meet some other people in our program who I have remained friends with in my time here”
