A couple of week ago, I came back from Costa Rica, after having led an 11-day Spanish Immersion trip. The group consisted of 12 students who had the opportunity to live with local families, and experienced their culture first hand. It is always fascinating to witness the impact that this kind of trip has on young learners. Not only furthers their understanding of the language by providing a real life experience, but also opens their eyes to cultural differences. I am already thinking where to go next year. |

This summer I had the opportunity to attend to the Governor School Spanish Academy in Richmond, Virginia, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a group formed by 60 talented High Schoolers who came from every corner of the state. Th entire ceremony was conducted in Spanish and it was massively attended. In my mind the highlight of this event was to witness the enthusiasm displayed by all the participants and the sense of accomplishment after several weeks of an intense Spanish Language immersion program. |

When you learn Spanish the same way you learn your mother tongue, by living it. In the language school classes are taught entirely in Spanish, speaking in another language is discouraged, and the student live in a Spanish-speaking environment.Many Spanish language schools offer the option of living with a Spanish-speaking family which means that the students hear the language as it is used in real life. Some considerations about going to a Spanish language immersion program. Learning a language can be a lot of fun. |
