WHAT IS A SPANISH IMMERSION PROGRAM?

There are many different style of Spanish immersion programs out there but the general goal of all immersion programs are the same: to immerse students in the language they are trying to learn. The level at which you are immersed, differs, depending on the program you choose. With our Pueblo Espanol Spanish Immersion courses we have created a little world in which you will be fully (and we mean fully!) immersed in Spanish!

You will not just go to tedious Spanish classes during the day and then lapse back into English or your native tongue at the end of the day when you leave your classes. You will live in this program (and in a 4-star hotel in a small Spanish village) for the duration of the Spanish program with your native speaking language partners.

You will eat with them. Laugh with them. Speak one on one for hours with them (don’t worry you won’t have the same partner for more than one hour in a row).
Speaking Spanish every hour of the day, for more than 8 hours might sound scary right? It can be at first. But let us assure you that by the end of the first couple of days, our participants feel very differently. They are having fun, making friends and speaking more Spanish, more confidently than they’ve ever spoken before.

The nature of the program is all about conversation, designed to depart from book study and grammar lessons to actively use Spanish in a variety of contexts. You will learn Spanish through conversations!

Student participants will be exposed to a full spectrum of the language, in an intimate and relaxing setting and get over the intimidation factor.

WHO IS THIS SPANISH LANGUAGE IMMERSION FOR?

This Spanish immersion program is aimed at all kinds of people. Whatever your age and background, we have a program that is a perfect fit to your profile! In each program we will always guarantee the same number of Spanish speaking natives as students. We will also happily adapt the program activities ti suit to a group’s specific needs and requirements. 

Though it is a lot of fun, due to its immersive and intensive nature it works best for those who already have a base level of Spanish. If you are a true beginner or just looking to ‘pick up’ a bit more Spanish and relax most of the day this course isn’t going to be for you. We recommend a minimium A2 – B1 level of Spanish.

IMMERSION BY LIVING WITH THE SPANIARDS

Don’t be mistaken, Spanish immersion is tough. However, having caring, interested, and inspiring people to “teach” you makes all the difference! The positive energy of our Pueblo Español programs comes from our community of Spanish people who will live with you for the duration of the program. This incredible group of people will be different every program, but they will always share these important common traits:

• They love conversation and are prepared to speak up to 15 hours per day!
• They are patient & supportive in order guide you through the activities and help you improve.
• They are armed with stories and experiences.
• They have intellectually stimulating characters.
• They want to share their culture

Their motivation is to teach you all about Spanish culture, have fun and help you learn their language….¡auténtico español!

At the end of the course, you will be thinking, and even dreaming in Spanish and go away with a life-changing experience and a group of new friends from Spain and around the world. 

ALL THE SPANISH ACCENTS YOU WILL LISTEN IN OUR SPANISH LANGUAGE IMMERSION

Our ‘españoles’ are carefully selected native Spanish-speakers who represent different regions and backgrounds, bringing a natural communication style and different accents. We like to give diversity to our programs and in each group you will meet Spaniards from different parts of Spain, with distinct Spanish accents, ages, professions and personalities.

Our staff accompanies you during the whole immersion course

The hard work wouldn’t be worth it if not balanced with the humor, candor and energy of the staff that accompanies you during the program. Their long hours and motivation will show is the end result: the program runs smoothly and you have a memorable experience.

THE LEARNING CURVE OF AN IMMERSION SPANISH PROGRAM

The immersion nature of the program is very intense. It requires a concerted amount of mental focus each day. The schedule demands that you continue to stretch your facilities. But as they say, ‘no pain no gain’, it provides a barrier-breaking, obstacle-surpassing and stride-advancing result. Our experience and research have proven that our method is important not only for the repetition factor with imprinting a language, but for the psychological strength and balance to gain confidence and know you can communicate when you need.
