A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | A student who does not know very much spanish would benefit from this program. While being in Barcelona, there are many people who speak English. If you are really wanting to better your spanish, go to a smaller spanish city. |
Individual Course Reviews
| Course Name/Rating: |
Spanish A2 |
| Course Department: | |
| Instructor: | Pilar |
| Instruction Language: | Catalan/Spanish |
| Comments: | My first teacher only spoke Catalan, she was not a good teacher to teach US students who enrolled in a Spanish course and have never learned Catalan. The course was a review and had already learned all the material in previous spanish classes in the US. |
