Overview of our Spanish Language Immersion Programs

The Spanish immersion programs offered through Language Skills Abroad are intended to enable the student to study Spanish abroad and learn Spanish as rapidly as possible. Each Spanish language school abroad provides the opportunity to participate in small classes, take private lessons, or both. Some of our language schools offer specific Spanish immersion programs designed to study Spanish for those in the law field and medical field. Some of our Spanish language immersion programs offer preparation courses for the DELE exam.

The classrooms use the communicative approach for learning Spanish. Students focus on improving their conversational skills from the first day of class. Complete beginners start by covering simple, basic topics such as learning how to identify themselves, explain where they are from… etc. . As a student becomes more proficient, in their Spanish courses abroad, more extensive topics, such as economics and politics will be covered in Spanish. While exploring new topics, students learn vocabulary and grammar at a faster rate. Within a short time, the student will find him/herself able to effectively converse in Spanish!

Effectiveness of a Spanish immersion program

During the course of the Spanish language immersion program, the learning doesn’t just stop once class is over. It is best to learn Spanish abroad because while living in a country where Spanish is the common language, you will constantly practice what you learned in class. Those who study Spanish abroad are constantly practicing. Just running a simple errand such as ordering a meal means having to use Spanish gives the needed practice to learn Spanish abroad. Though this may originally be quite challenging, within just a short period of time, you will obtain the Spanish language skills that will help you to communicate fluently in Spanish.
