Intensive Spanish - Total Immersion Program
Our Spanish Total Immersion Program (or intensive program) will help you to learn Spanish and discover the Mexican culture, history and lifestyle.
A homestay with a Mexican family is a great way to improve your Spanish and to learn about the country and its customs. However, if you wish, you can choose other accommodation. Note that the Homestay option is only available with the Intensive Program.
Even if we do recommend a 4 week course, a shorter or a longer stay is also possible.
We have two different schedules:
Monday to Friday, 22 hours/ week
Monday to Saturday, 26 hours/ week
We have classes for all levels, with a maximum of 6 students per class. There is an oral and written evaluation at the very first day in order to set up the right program for each student. Credit transfer is also available. Upon your request, we will send an official transcript and teacher's narratives to your home institution.
One-to-one class: if you especifically want a private class you need to tell us in advance.
