The teaching approach is "Total Immersion", and there is no surer way to learn a language. You will be speaking Spanish from the start. Students are encouraged to stay with local families, located and supervised by the accommodation coordinators, so that academic input is reinforced by practical usage 24 hours a day. Course work is carefully structured and designed to assure rapid improvement through the most effective and modern teaching techniques. To complement the classroom work, language laboratory sessions are available to reinforce skills.
