Homestay Program: Learn Spanish while  living with your teacher

This course is different from any other. It consists in living and learning Spanish at your teacher’s home, which means being taught and corrected not only during class but at all time. It is not only taught through a textbook, but rather, by practising living Spanish as if it were your own language. The teacher and his/her family devote exclusive time to the difficulties and problems faced by an individual student, unless he/she chooses to share the family and the class in a two-student option. In this case, both students will be from different countries, so that they will not be able to speak to each other in their mother tongue.

Some of the leisure activities, such as chatting over a meal, watching TV, family visits and social life are carried out in Spanish with the Spanish family and its friends. If the student has chosen the two-student-option and there is not a second student available, the fees will remain the same but the class time is reduced from 15 to 10 and from 20 to 12 ½ lessons a week, thus becoming private lessons.

You can start on any day of the year (except public holidays) and the duration of the course is from one week onwards. This course is suited for students of all ages and levels.
