Our Spanish Abroad Program is very flexible. You can study any length of time from two weeks to four months. We will make sure you have time to get to know the country of your placement; this is an invaluable way to improve your language skills. Furthermore, it is important not just to learn Spanish, but also to get to know the country. By learning more about the country, as well as it's people, you will benefit from a well-rounded learning experience.

You will be living with a local host family. They do not simply provide a bed for you to sleep in. Rather, they will welcome you as a part of their daily lives, sharing their traditions and experiences with you. Host families for language learning participants do not speak any English. This ensures that you will benefit from the ultimate immersion environment. Your host family will work with you to improve your language skills during your Spanish Abroad placement.
