Complutense University Madrid
Having studied at many private language academies attempting to learn the Spanish language to aid in my stay here in Spain. I was advised to try a course run by the Complutense University (Madrid’s answer to Harvard or Oxford) especially for foreigners wanting to learn Spanish as a foreign language.
So I enrolled for one term, which I found to be quite cheap compared to the private schools and I was immediatly impressed with the level of the professors and the intensity of the course. Seven years on and I still owe it all to this course that changed my broken spanish into me becoming fluent and allowing me to build my life here in Spain.
