Expanish to open new 30+ school in Barcelona

Spanish-language study program Expanish plans to open a new school in Barcelona, specifically for students aged 30 or older, it has been announced.

“We are marketing the school as a mature learning space, where more mature language students can have a Spanish immersion program with others of a similar mindset,” said Expanish commercial manager Murphy Scott.

Expanish has had a language school in Barcelona for several years, the original location will only be for 16-29 year olds, but course prices will remain the same between the two schools.

According to Scott, 30% of Expanish's student population is 30 years of age or older. In general, older students are more mature and therefore have different life experiences than those between the ages of 16 and 29, he said.

The 30+ school will allow for a more personal experience based on the interests and goals of each age group, rather than involving more mature students in the same activities as younger ones, he suggested.

Examples of activities for the 30+ school include wine tastings, Spanish history workshops and architectural tours.

"It is the first Spanish 30+ center of its kind"

Director and co-founder of Expanish, Agustin Vignale, said: "Having a separate school for the over 30s will allow our students in Barcelona to learn Spanish in a more mature study environment alongside people with similar life experience.

“We believe this will ensure a more rewarding immersive experience for all of our students,” he added.

When it comes to other language learning program providers like Duolingo, Babbel or Busuu, Scott is convinced that even though technology has made advancements in language teaching, nothing can beat an immersive experience like the one we get. Expanish offer.

"Two weeks in an immersion program can teach you more than you can learn in a year with Duolingo," Scott said.

Expanish does not consider edtech options as competitors because the types of language instruction they offer are very different. The main competitors are the more than 50 Spanish language programs in and around Spain.

"This is the first Spanish center for 30+ of its kind, showing that Expanish continues to grow as a leader in Spanish language centers," Vignale said.

The new Expanish 30+ school is located in Barcelona in the Eixample district. All current students aged 30 or over will automatically transfer to the new center.The post Expanish to open new 30+ school in Barcelona appeared first on The PIE News.
