My personal goal was to be involved in everyday life. For me this was accomplished. You are taking classes but it is so smooth that you don’t feel like you’re learning!

This experience is different because it’s not only about having lessons. It’s more than that! We are integrated into the community. This motivates us to use our English all the time.

Pepa, English Teacher, Spain English Immersion: Everyday Conversation & Culture Spain

I knew that I needed a boost and got it from this program. It is a 24/7 English environment that really works. There have been amazing presentations and great volunteers and the teachers bring their skills and soul to the program. My biggest improvement is in listening skills. Now I catch myself when I start to make a mistake.
