- P. Just De La Paisières
The teachers were all really fun and they used lots of different learning methods….games, interviews, 'who am I?', etc. The course was totally in Spanish, with a small group of other students. The host family I stayed with were great. My room way clean, cool and had a desk to work at. My meals were all good, lots of variety. They were friendly and only spoke Spanish which helped me practice.
