Camino Barcelona Blog

Dear all,

I hope that you are all enjoying our first sunny real days of Autumn in Barcelona! One thing we cannot really complain about here is the weather!!! Temperatures are still very mild here!

Today Victorien, our French Work Placement, has decided to write a  few lines in our blog, if you are planning a trip to Barcelona, this will be helpful for you!!!

My name is Victorien,

I’m 22. I’m the new work placement student here at Camino Barcelona.

I currently study in Dijon and I am staying in Barcelona for 4 months. I have almost done half of it, time is flying. I study English and Spanish that is why I have decided to come to Spain. I have chosen Barcelona because it is a lovely city with some many things to do and visit! My favourite places are the Guell Park, the Barceloneta. I recommend you to visit other cities near Barcelona such as Sitges for example… But do not worry: I am not going to tell you my entire life in this blog!

This morning, after waking up at 7.00, followed by a 20minute walk, I have really realised how lucky the students who live in our On-site accommodation are: They just have to take the lift and they are in their classroom (really practical after crazy nights out!!!). That is why I have decided to write a few lines about our On-Site accommodation.

Hello guys,

Today I am very proud to introduce you to one new member of our team: Her name is Lenka and she came directly from Czech Republic to help us. If you are already a student of our school, you migh also know that Simona (another person from our Administration team) is also comig from this beautiful country. So both of them decided that they would love to share with you their experience here in Barcelona and how you could experience Czech Culture during your stay!

Hi everybody,

My name is Lenka and I am currently doing an internship at Camino Barcelona. I am from the Czech Republic. As we are now two members in our international team coming from Czech Republic, we both thought it would be interesting to tell you why we fell in love with Barcelona when we arrived here and how you could experience little from the Czech culture while taking your Spanish course in Barcelona.

Dear all,

It has been a long time since I have  introduced you to one member of our team!

This time let me introduce you to  Becky, one of our Work Placement members who have been colaborating with us for a period of  four months. We are now very sad because this is her last week and she will go back to England in a few days. As she enjoyed herself very much at Camino Barcelona, she has decided to write a post about her experience here in Barcelona. Becky, this is your turn:

Hi everyone,

Hope you are enjoying the start of Autumn and if you are at Camino Barcelona that you are all learning a lot from us here!

I  just want to tell about a very exciting opportunity that we have here at Camino. As you may have seen if you are studying with us or from browsing the website, we have a team of ‘Practicantes’ or Work Placement Team that work alongside the Camino Team. This is what I do. I am one of the Work Placement Team. I am here for four months, on a Year Abroad from my University Course back in England. And now this is your chance to experience working in Spain and in one of its best cities! (more…)

Hey,

How are you? Enjoying the mild Autumn days in Barcelona?

Today Cassandra decided to write a blog about Drinking and Dining in nice old places with history. If you already live in Barcelona, you will probably know that there are loads of places like that: Cafés, restaurants, tapas bars etc. If you are a student of our school, you might have discovered them through our Historical Bar Crawl. Our next route will be published shortly in our School Blog.

So Cassandra, the blog is all yours!

“Drinking and Dining in Antiquity”

It always strikes me how many coffee and pastry shops there are in Barcelona!

Dear all,

It has been more than a week already that Cassandra has started working with us, and she has become more and more active in our department! Today she has decided to present the new format of one of our courses: Our Super Intensive Course and its cultural workshop. Cassandra, the blog is all yours!

Hello again all!

As a study-abroad student in Spain like the rest of you, one of the main reasons I came here was to improve my Spanish; however, it would be a shame not to experience Spain’s culture while doing so. After all, the city of Barcelona has so much to offer between its art, cuisine, history, and who could forget its futbol team!

Dear All,

I hope that you are all enjoying the first days of Autumn and its very mild temperatures here in Barcelona!

Today I have very interesting news for people looking for a good Spanish Business Course. Our Business Spanish course will be starting again on 16th November.

For this reason, we have decided to organize a presentation meeting that will take place here in our school this coming Wednesday 04th November, at 12.40.

This meeting will be opened to everybody: For the students of our school or anybody else that might be interested in getting more information about this course. So feel free to join it! Just give us a call before Wednesday and we will reserve a chair for you. Here is our address: info@caminobarcelona.com

Let me now give you more information that will help you to decide whether this course is the right one for you!

Hey everybody!

Once again and with great pleasure I am going to introduce one of our new team members Her name is Cassandra and she came directly from Trinity College in Connecticut to do a work placement among us.

She will stay with us for one month and will regularly keep you posted about “what’s going on” in Barcelona. Nice, isn’t it?

A few days before Halloween she thought that it might be interesting for you guys to read about this tradition in Spain.

And if you are in our school, do not forget to join our Activity Programme prepared by Pierre!

Cassandra, this is your turn!!!

With Halloween rapidly approaching, there is no better topic for my first Camino blog post!

Good afternoon!

Friday afternoon and the Festivals of Gracia, one of the most popular celebrations in Barcelona of more than 100 years of existence, has nearly finished! If you have not yet had the opportunity to go there, do not hesitate one more minutes! You have one more chance!

Jeremy, already introduced in his last blog, is a great fan of this “Fiesta” so I will let him give you his own recommendations. Have fun!!!

(more…)

Good afternoon everybody!

I hope that you are all fine and enjoying fully these very sunny days to go to the beach… Lucky you!

My blog today will be a little bit different as I will not speak about the millions of things you can do in the city when it is so warm but will simply give you the comments (and impressions) of a student who knows our school probably as much as we do as she stayed 28 weeks!!! During all this time not only has she attended our Intensive Course, but she has also participated in our DELE Preparation Course and our Business Spanish Course. Waow…

Her name is Adrienne and to give you an idea of how much she has learned while being in Barcelona, Adrienne arrived with some little knowledge of Spanish and left Camino Barcelona with a very fluent Spanish speaking about Politics, Economics, Cinema etc. etc. etc.

Adrienne, it is your turn!

“Hi!

After nearly half a year at Camino Barcelona, I would like to say that it’s the perfect place to make progresses quickly and of course also “disfrutar” (enjoy Barcelona, meet friends and go out. (more…)
