Duration: 1-3 Weeks

Most students who study a language in a classroom environment have very limited contact with native speakers and normally only have basic conversations on general topics.
Pueblo Español is an intensive 8-day language immersion program, of over 100 hours of conversation with dedicated and interesting Spanish-speaking natives.
The nature of the program is all about conversation, designed to depart from book study and grammar lessons, to practice Spanish in a variety of contexts. And our native Spanish speakers, our best kept secret, will be represented by teenagers from as many accents as possible!
The formal part of the program is mainly based on one to one 50-minute conversation sessions with each one of the Spanish “tutors”.
Students rotate to alternate with new conversation partners every hour. And, what will you talk about? Any topic under the sun is possible! Nevertheless, the staff guides the morning one to one sessions with practical and stimulating subjects.
In the afternoons everyone takes part in group activities and different role plays. This is combined with a more relaxed environment sharing meals and social time, which are also important to improve the language and get used to the different accents. There will also be several chances to explore the surroundings and surprise activities that will be surely fun and entertaining.
How much preparation and planning will students have to do to? The answer is none!!
