Highlights
Students can choose their own schedule based on their needs, for example, it is possible to take 1, 2, or 3 hours of lesson per day from Monday to Friday. Moreover, it is possible to receive accommodation and feeding with a local host family which is a perfect option in order to improve your Spanish by sharing with the host family members.Also, students can mix the Spanish lessons and volunteer work which is a great option as well because it offers to them more options to improve and practice the language.
There is no a better way to practice a language than talking and interacting with the persons who speak it, that's why the Spanish teachers organize different visits either to the public market, to the museum, to the historic center, to cultural centers, to la mitad del mundo, is important to mention that volunteers pay their bus ticket and their entrance tickets as well as any expense they make .
