“INESLE was a transforming experience. Taking spanish in school, I had always learned about Spain and my desire to go there grew with each passing year. When I found out about INESLE, I was thrilled because I had finally found the opportunity to travel to Spain. What I will remember the most about my time is not how to conjugate verbs in the imperfect subjunctive form, but what I learned about myself through immersion in the Spanish culture. My host family opened up their lives and home to me so I could live as a Spaniard.

What I value more is the personal aspect of Spanish life that I got to experience. Through my time in Spain, I was able to explore new types of foods and meet Spaniards that although I often had difficulty talking to, were the best part of the trip. I formed friendships with people from a foreign culture but we got along like brothers. I learned that you can never fully experience a language without experiencing the culture that comes along with it. I am truly blessed to have gotten the opportunity to pursue a language I love in its native setting and live the life of a Spaniard for 30 days."

Toledo - General View

“Through the INESLE program, I was able to improve my Spanish skills in reading, writing, comprehension, and speaking. Classes were taught exclusively in Spanish, and sticking to the program's “no English” policy allowed me to truly develop my fluency in the Spanish language.

I was so happy throughout my time in the program, and I am still proud to see how much my Spanish improved this summer. It was a great experience for my personal development as well, as I learned to live in a new place and adapt to a new culture. I loved my host family, and I am grateful for the amazing summer I had. I will always treasure the INESLE experience, and I'm excited to hopefully return as a teacher and keep in touch with the friends I made during the program”.

Arabella AdamsRegina Dominican High School - Chicago, IL

INESLE Madrid was an experience that l will remenber for the rest of my life. My host family was better than l could have hoped for and in only a month they became family to me. Before INESLE, l was barely conversational in Spanish. Now, l am confident in speaking, understanding, reading and writing. The cultural excursions thatl was taken on were as important to me as the time spent in the classroom. l learned a lot about Spanish culture, which made me appreciate Spain even more. Through INESLE, l was able to leam about language, culture and friendship. The experience was nothing short of amazing. l only have fond memories of my stay in Spain, and hope to be able to return soon!”.

Jordan Davidson Phillips Exeter Academy - Exeter, NH

The INESLE Madrid program was an incredible opportunity and experience. I learned so much and felt myself progress in both speaking and understanding as the month went by. What l love most about Inesle is the way that it stands out from amy other Spanish immersion program. INESLE provides students with a chance to experience it first hand through the sightseeing and interaction with people from the community. Putting oneself forward into an entirely different culture is much more valuable and rewarding than sitting in a classroom learning aboutthe cultural differences. INESLE Madrid channels this idea and enhances a student´s ability to fully learn and connect with those around them”.
