"It was a great experience"

Ema Timár, student from Slovakia

I had a lovely time. My Spanish improved greatly. For me, Enforex was an amazing experience. All the teachers are very nice and polite. I loved Salvador the most. He made my stay so comfortable I was sad to leave. His classes were never boring. He taught me a lot. If I ever have a chance to come back without a doubt I will.

"It was very good, and I learned a lot."

Kaja Visnes, student from Norway

My experience was very good. Well educated teachers, and so nice. I liked my class very much, they were kind to me, and easy to talk to. The location was perfect for me, just three min from were I stayed. I wished there was more students on my age, in my class. I'm fifteen. I would love to come back!
