IN PUEBLO INGLES IN SPAIN, WHO ARE THE STUDENTS?

The Spanish participants are all i ntelligent, professional people . There is always a mix of ages and genders, and professions (except in special editions), and the participants tend to come from all around Spain and abroad.
Approximately 80% of the them are between 30 and 50 years old.

Most of the Spaniards will have been sent to Pueblo Ingles from their companies because they regularly speak English in their respective roles and positions. There are also many participants that pay for themselves to come to Pueblo Ingles hoping that their personal investment will pay handsome dividends in their career and/or personal ambitions. For whatever reason they attend, the Spaniards are certainly unified in their search for a completely English speaking environment, a unique environment of diversity, co-operation and communication, where native English speakers will be patient, friendly and committed to the Pueblo Ingles objectives. This brings us to another thing that all the Spanish participants seem to have in common : All of them will be grateful for your hard work , which will be evident in their warm and friendly approach despite the tiredness and mental overload that Pueblo Ingles is sure to inflict on them.

Whether they are sent by their employer, or pay out of their own pocket, they see the program as an opportunity for both career and personal development, as well as a chance to make friends from all over the world! Here are some recent typical (or a-typical!) profiles:

• IT consultant for consulting company, from Madrid
• Engineering projects manager for telecommunications company, from Colombia
• General physician, from Barcelona
• Director of Sales and Marketing for paper manufacturer , from France
• Manager for non-life Insurance underwriting, from Cadiz
• Sales representative for pharmaceutical company, from Leon
• Payroll Manager for automotive company, from Toledo
• Accountant for banking company, from Santander
• Consumer marketing manager for sugar company, from the Basque country
• Owner of bottled water company, from Galicia
• Retired, world traveler and fan of English, from Valencia

Pueblo Ingles in Germany was launched in 2011. Most of the students that will attend Englischhausen have similar problems to the Spanish students, they need English for professional reasons. The program is catered to anyone who needs to practice English whether they are sent by their employer, or pay out of their own pocket.
