We were thrilled to host a group of 20 German university students and their professors here at Linguaschools in Barcelona. Their two-week full immersion program was designed to give them a deep dive into both the Spanish language and the vibrant culture of our city.
From the moment they arrived, we ensured they felt at home in Spain. The group was warmly welcomed at the airport and taken to stay with local Spanish host families, where they enjoyed full board and got to experience daily life in a Spanish household. These stays allowed them to practice their Spanish continuously and to experience Spanish hospitality and customs firsthand.
Spanish language and cultural immersion
Each day, the students participated in Spanish language classes, working hard to improve their proficiency. Outside the classroom, we had planned a rich lineup of cultural activities that gave them a firsthand taste of Spain’s famous artistic and historical sites. Their cultural exploration included:
- Parc Güell – They marveled at Gaudí’s artistic vision and learned about the cultural significance of this vibrant park.
- Camp Nou – Home to FC Barcelona, where students explored the passion and culture of Spanish football.
- Casa Batlló – Another Gaudí masterpiece, which left a lasting impression with its architectural ingenuity and aesthetic.
- Museo Picasso – The group got an intimate look at the works of Pablo Picasso, exploring his life and evolution as an artist.
- Sagrada Familia – No visit to Barcelona is complete without seeing Gaudí’s breathtaking basilica, which continues to inspire awe in visitors.
And, of course, no cultural immersion would be complete without experiencing the passion and artistry of a flamenco show, where the students witnessed the intensity and soul of this iconic Spanish dance.
An experience for life
Staying with host families and exploring Spain together fostered meaningful connections among the students, their teachers, and the people they met along the way. Their curiosity and eagerness to learn were evident, and they embraced each opportunity to improve their Spanish and immerse themselves in Spanish culture.
We’re so grateful to have been part of their journey and look forward to welcoming more international students who come with open minds and hearts to discover the beauty of the Spanish language and culture.
¡Hasta la próxima, amigos!
