ESL Education

We're very excited about our tasty new partnership with Krispy Kreme in Switzerland!

At ESL, we believe in the power of language education. Every day, we see how it opens doors to a world of opportunities and connections for people of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds. And this is why we are thrilled to have partnered with the Copa Colegial, the biggest high school basketball championship in Spain, offering two language study trips to the two best basketball players with the highest grades. There is no language barrier that a warm smile and a shared passion cannot overcome. This is especially true in the world of sport and also in many other areas of life! The commitment and determination of these young students has been an inspiring reminder of the power of unity and teamwork. Our thanks go to Copa Colegial and Ivan Delfino for working with us on this wonderful partnership and our colleagues Klaudia Kenga, Laia Lopez, Marta Grizzafi and of course the ESL Madrid team! #ESLEducation #ESLMadrid

Today, we invite you to meet Daniela Romero, our Supervisor for Accounts Payable Alpadia In KLG Headquarters Barcelona! -What is your story? It’s been 6 years since I decided to move to Barcelona from Mexico City, and 3 years since I started in ESL as an International Accountant; it feels like it was just yesterday when I arrived to the office in Paseo de Gracia, really excited to start a new venture with an awesome team, a team considered “small” back then, but now we are more than the double of people. As part of this growth, the Barcelona Finance Team has undergone several changes throughout these years, from which I’ve been able to develop my career in the company. With the integration of Alpadia’s Accounts Payable department, I was given the opportunity and took the lead as AP Supervisor since November; it has been a big challenge, we’ve had some rough days for sure, but I’m very proud of all the achievements and improvements we’ve accomplished. -This is the time to thank someone in the company who has been part of your journey. I would like to thank Cristina Payan and Alex Minguella , for believing in me, for all their support, motivation and recognizition, because it has encouraged me to keep doing my best for the team and the company. Also, special thanks to my colleagues Olalla Ortiz, Óscar Moreno and María José, you have been amazing and I’m really happy for these years we’ve worked together, supporting each other and seeing how our team has evolved. -How did you hear about your first position? I saw the job posting on LinkedIn, so i decided to apply. (Shout to Luca Ottavo for contacting me 😉) -What are your hobbies or interests? One of many things I miss from México is the food, so I like to try Mexican restaurants, it makes me feel closer to my homeland, and when I’m not craving tacos or chilaquiles, I like to discover new restaurants. I love travelling, dancing, going to the gym, which always helps me to be at peace with myself.

Yesterday, at our KLG BCN European Headquarters, we celebrated Sant Jordi, a special day in Catalonia celebrating literature and love, along with International Book Day, with a Mini Office Book Swap! Our office was filled with excitement as we exchanged favorite reads in honor of these occasions. From thrilling mysteries to heartwarming tales, it was a joy to share stories and connect over our love for literature. Thank you to all who participated! #WeareKLG #SantJordi #InternationalBookDay

Today, we invite you to meet Guangou LIU, the SEO Manager at KLG, based in our European Headquarters in Barcelona! -What is your story?   It's over two years and a half since I joined the company as a SEO Senior for ESL. Just a few months into my role, the merger with KLG happened, presenting our team with an exciting challenge of managing three brands instead of one. Before long, I got promoted to SEO manager entrusted with overseeing the SEO strategy for the KLG brands. -This is the time to thank someone in the company who has been part of your journey.   Special thanks to Josep Riera and Rosa Vila for their trust and for providing me with the opportunity to grow within the company. Also, many thanks for all the people from the company that has been part of  my ongoing journey.   -How did you hear about your first position?   I was looking for a new opportunity then I got a call from a recruiting agency looking for a SEO Senior.   -What are your hobbies or interests?   I do enjoy great histories, no matter the format, from tv shows, books, movies to manga... Besides that, I'm a big foodie, I enjoy cooking and discovering new restaurants (I have a list with more than 400 restaurants in Barcelona, don't hesitate to ask me for recommendations😉). But most of the time, you can find me working out in the gym or dancing to my favorite DJs.

To mark the release of Kung Fu Panda 4, the fourth chapter of the DreamWorks saga, we are thrilled and honoured to announce our next collaboration! Our beloved Po will find himself leaving the Valley of Peace and heading to the big city to face a new villain, called The Chameleon. In addition to facing his strongest enemy, Po will have to search for a replacement, because he knows he can't be the Dragon Warrior forever. This is a story full of adventure, friendship, self-discovery, representing the journey our students take when they decide to take a language course abroad. Indeed, leaving for a study period abroad means expanding one's horizons, not only by opening doors to new opportunities thanks to the knowledge of a language, but also by acquiring a series of useful skills for personal and professional growth, mediated by immersion in a different culture,interaction with people from all over the world and putting oneself at stake. Where would you like to live this experience? Kung Fu Panda 4 is waiting for you in cinemas!
