Are you looking for a hands-on, meaningful Erasmus+ internship in Madrid? Finding the right host organization (empresa de acogida) can be challenging. Many students end up in large corporations doing repetitive administrative work, with very little actual learning or cultural immersion.

Au Jaleo Madrid, we do things differently. As a boutique Spanish language school located in the vibrant Barrio de Salamanca, we offer international students a unique, immersive, and real-world working experience in the heart of Spain’s capital.

A Real Success Story: Elena’s 4-Week Internship Experience

Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming Elena, an Erasmus+ student from Italy, who joined our team for a 4-week internship program.

Because we are an agile and close-knit team, Elena didn’t spend her month making coffee or photocopying documents. From day one, she took on real responsibility across two core areas of our school:

1. Digital Marketing & Content Creation

  • Writing blog posts optimized for digital audiences.

  • Conducting market research and analyzing social media metrics.

  • Contributing fresh ideas to our digital presence.

2. Business Development & Administration

  • Building and organizing targeted outreach databases.

  • Researching potential global partners and international contacts.

  • Learning how an educational center operates behind the scenes.

In just four weeks, Elena became a key contributor to our day-to-day operations while experiencing exponential growth in both her professional confidence and her language skills.

3 Reasons Why Jaleo Madrid is the Ideal Host for Your Erasmus+ Placement

1. Real Work, Real Impact

Because we are a growing boutique language academy, our interns work directly alongside founders and key team members. You won’t be stuck with artificial exercises—you will manage real marketing campaigns, assist with administration, and help create strategies for students from all over the world.

2. The Ultimate Spanish Language Immersion

What better place to improve your Spanish than inside a Spanish school? Our entire team consists of professional ELE (Spanish as a Foreign Language) teachers.

This means you will be surrounded by language experts who love teaching, explaining cultural nuances, and supporting your learning process naturally every single day. Elena arrived with a foundation in Spanish and left four weeks later with a massive leap in fluency and vocabulary.

3. A Supportive, Multilingual Environment

Starting an internship abroad can be intimidating if your Spanish isn’t fluent yet. While a B1 level of Spanish or English is ideal to make the most of your tasks, you will never feel lost here.

Our team speaks English, French, and Italian, ensuring smooth communication and an encouraging, stress-free onboarding process from day one.

Who Are We Looking For?

We welcome motivated Erasmus+ trainees enrolled in degree programs such as:

  • Digital Marketing & Communications

  • Tourism & Hospitality Management

  • Business Administration & International Relations

  • Translation, Languages, & Education

Whether you are looking to gain real marketing skills, understand the business behind language education, or simply boost your CV while living in Madrid, Jaleo Madrid provides the supportive ecosystem you need to thrive.

¿Clases de español por Skype? No tengas miedo

Lorsque nous sommes dans notre pays, l'apprentissage d'une autre langue est souvent un peu compliqué. En premier lieu, les novices ne sont pas en mesure de déterminer si le niveau de leur professeur est adéquat (s'il est natif ? s'il est professionnel ?). C'est pourquoi nous devons nous adapter aux exigences du marché de notre ville. Mais aujourd'hui, grâce à Internet, tout cela n'est plus qu'une excuse. À Jaleo Madrid, nous sommes des adeptes des cours par Skype et, dès le premier instant, nous les avons incorporés à notre offre. En cours de route, nous avons entendu toutes sortes de critiques sur les cours par Skype : "ils ne conviennent pas aux niveaux inférieurs", "ils sont trop froids"... Grâce à notre expérience, nous avons compris que ce n'était pas le cas. C'est pourquoi nous allons aujourd'hui les défendre. "Las clases son demasiado frías" : Même s'il est difficile d'en parler

Un añito de Jaleo Madrid

Hace un año no nos podíamos imaginar que íbamos a estar en el confinamiento actual. Hace justo doce meses estábamos viviendo el nacimiento de Jaleo Madrid. El parto de nuestra escuela no fue como nosotros nos imaginábamos, pero al final todo ha salido bien. Incluso mejor de lo que cabía esperar. Cuando nos quedamos embarazados de nuestra cooperativa, nos quedaba muy lejos el momento en el que estamos ahora. Durante el embarazo y el primer año de vida de nuestra escuela hemos vivido situaciones de gran alegría y de orgullo, aunque no podemos negar que, como todos los padres primerizos, también hemos tenido nuestros instantes de frustración o de miedo. Sin embargo, esto es algo que ya sabíamos cuando comenzamos nuestra aventura y como buenos profesores, hemos sabido aprender de
