"Thank you for creating this course, a lot of the information that I read and watched within the course have proved to be useful. I have seen some of these examples during my own Erasmus experience and having done the course, some of these examples now seem familiar to me.”

Ryan, De Montfort University student in Spain

"I think the course has greatly helped me with knowing about Spanish culture before I arrived in Spain. After being here for a few weeks, I feel like everything I learned in the course is useful in my daily life and whenever I encounter a foreign situation abroad. Thank you greatly for offering this course for students getting ready to travel and/or study abroad. I definitely appreciated all of the helpful hints and information that I learned after taking the CulturaGo Spain course and I am definitely going to recommend it to others in the future."

Collin, UFL Warrington student in Spain

“Over the course of my years learning Castellano, I would say that there are things that I already knew, some iconic landmarks such as museums and about the food. But this course was super in depth and really insightful into the Spanish culture! The videos were super awesome! They provided a great break from reading and hearing about other people's first hand experience and what they would do next time was very interesting. It makes me feel more better prepared about what to expect when I do go to Spain."

Caitlin, Auckland University student in Spain

"During times when cultural exchange has been limited, my curiosity about other cultures has definitely increased. This course was wonderful in offering a balanced view of the country's culture."
