Personal comments:
I went to Barcelona to improve my academic knowledge of the Spanish language, but also to obtain a better understanding of Catalunya's language Catalan. The opportunity ESMA gave me to take a Catalan Language course with them helped me a lot. Furthermor, a very large part of the students at ESMA is Latin American. Their Spanish differs from the Spanish spoken in Spain. Through my contact with these students I obtained a good knowledge of Latin American Spanish.
