Work & Study

Tanfolyamleírás

This program combines a working experience in Latin America with Spanish private classes. Interns usually work 6-8 hours per day in the morning and take 1 hour of private one-to-one Spanish class in the afternoon.
Participants can choose the type of placement among the following sectors:

- Education
- Special Education
- Micro-Business
- Hospitality & Tourism
- Medical
- Human Rights

An Intermediate (B1) level of Spanish is required for Special Education, Micro-Business, Medical and Human Rights placements. Accommodation in a host family with a private room and 2 meals/day (breakfast and dinner) is included in the program fee.
This program is designed for Spanish learners looking for a working experience in Latin America and an intensive language-learning opportunity and cultural immersion. Throughout your language training, the teacher will continuously assess your ability in the four language skills – Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing; and the four language systems – Grammar, Vocabulary, Phonology, and Function. Textbooks and materials are all included in course prices, and all of the teachers are experienced native Spanish instructors – either certified in teaching Spanish as a foreign language or with their Bachelors and/or Masters in Education. Because this is a private lesson, learners can direct the class to focus on a specific professional area such as medical or business Spanish. We also have a free Tandem Conversation Program offering free conversation practice with local English students to supplement your regular classes.
