"Great city, nice classmates and teacher, good atmosphere."

Jacopo Ottonello, student from Italy

I liked the schedule of lessons, the teacher was good at teaching and really “simpatica”, the lessons were balanced between grammar and conversation. I preferred the conversation.
The location was fine.

The facilities of Enforex were fine while I found the accommodation not so good. My room was really small and with no fan so it was hard to sleep, I opened the window but the noise was loud (it was on a huge avenue).

I really suggest to put a fan in every room.
The breakfast and dinner was not good.
Overall my experience was great and I enjoyed the many activities you can do in Barcelona.

"It was amazing place for socializing but not learning the language."

Ramiz Taghiyev, student from Azerbaijan

I liked to feel in some new environment. Teachers and staff were friendly to us. Generally, people were supportive. I discovered that i could fluently speak English as we had group discussions every day. However, my English didn't improve a lot since i didn't learn any new grammar or vocabulary. It was perfect place for finding friends, sharing experiences and learning a bit with fun.

"Unforgetable"

Alexandra Menioudaki, student from Greece

The classes were very good!! The time was passing by very quickly! We had a lot of fun and most of the teachers were great!! The school was clean but there was an issue the first two weeks. We were changing teachers everyday, which does not let the teacher know each other's weaknesses and become closer to the students. They had a fair system with those who were studying and US who did not (lol) so the students were at the same level! It would be a good idea if the number of students did not exceed the number of 9! The location is fine!! Can walk to the centre and everywhere! Last but not least the tours that the school was arranging with thegread tour guide guy were the best!! we got to know Barcelona a lot better and it was pretty cheap! NOW THE DARK SIDE... 1. the room i had was very very small.. there was not place at all for my clothes (students might go for more than two months, where do they leave their stuff?) BUT the most annoying is that it was so stinky like you have no idea!!! there was dust everywhere and it felt like it was never cleaned before, so did the rest of the house (kitchen was disgusting for example).. I'm talking about this cause I was staying in the school's rooms where a lady is supposed to clean once a week and cook. One day the bread was mold!! Last, the breakfast was ridiculous just bread with chocolate or jam and milk with cereals! That's all I can say!!! It was a great experience and I met great people!! Thank you for your help
