I am a university student in British Columbia, Canada. I am taking some Spanish classes right now, but I would like to study Spanish in Spain in order to become fluent.
I was looking into doing an exchange through my university. The only Spanish university that is affiliated with mine is the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
I was told that the only way I could do an exchange to Spain was if I was fluent in Spanish, because all the classes are taught in that language. If I want to learn Spanish I have to go to Mexico.
I am a bit puzzled because I have been reading a lot of posts from people who have gone to Spain to study Spanish. So, I don't get how a big university like UCM does not offer a program for foreigners who want to learn the language.
Can someone tell me if this is true? If so, are there other universities in Spain that would offer classes for someone like me?
Thank you, any responses would be greatly appreciated.
