"¡Una semana fenomenal! I loved every minute of this course. It was so rewarding to socialise in Spanish and to understand what was going on. I laughed lots, learnt lots and met a wonderful group of people. The hotel was good and the volunteers gave up a week of their holidays for us, led by Diego who did everything to ensure that we all made progress with the language. Someone asked me today what was the best bit : la amistad."
“Gabi had a wonderful time and she thoroughly enjoyed the program. She told us that all of the staff were super friendly and made her feel welcome from the very beginning. Her Spanish has improved immensely and more importantly, she is much more comfortable and confident in her ability to converse. She wants to return again next year.“
“Zach had a wonderful time in Spain! Thank you so much for a great program. He is excited about all of the friends he met from all over the world. He and Max are already discussing doing it again next year! I especially appreciate all of the care you took in ensuring the safety of the students as they travelled from the airport to the hotel and back. Please keep me on your mailing list for future programs. Zach’s younger brother can’t wait until he’s old enough for the program too!”
“Shaydah had a wonderful, life-changing experience, she has been telling us all about the program, what she did and, especially, whom she met. She now has a whole new group of friends, both native English and Spanish speakers. She also feels strongly that her Spanish has improved greatly from the experience… she is already asking about returning to both programs next summer. Thanks again for everything and have a wonderful rest of the summer!”
"Mi hija ha estado una semana en el campamento de pueblo español en Úbeda, se lo ha pasado genial. Ha conocido gente de otros países y españoles de otras provincias diferentes a la suya. En resumen una experiencia muy enriquecedora. Gracias por la excelente organización."
"Our daughter Jasmine had the most incredible experience! The one-week Spanish immersive language camp was everything we hoped for and more. The camp was filled with fun activities, and Jasmine made tons of amazing friends while practicing her Spanish 24/7. The environment was so supportive and engaging; it truly felt like a home away from home. She came back not only with improved language skills but also with lifelong memories. Ms. Julia Palomino, who supervised the program, was incredibly supportive and made the application process smooth and comforting for us as parents. We highly recommend this camp to anyone looking for an authentic and immersive experience! ¡Gracias!"
