Demonstrate your Spanish level officially with the DELE exam
Studying Spanish in Barcelona has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The program not only helped me reach a high level of fluency but also connected me with friends from all over the world. It was a perfect way to take a break from the burnout of every day life back home, and at the same time gain skills that I can take back with me.
