ASW

My daughter is a college Spanish major looking for a Spanish language immersion program next summer (2016.) Has anyone attended a program they would recommend? Ideally, it would be two to four weeks long and in a safe country. I appreciate any feedback you might share.

Ann Mc I highly recommend the Christian Spanish Academy in La Antigua, Guatemala. My son and I attended there this past summer 2015. We did a one week homestay, and it was good, but next time I will stay in a nearby hotel for more comfort. If you want more info. I would be happy to chat with you about it. I will try to check back to this site if you wish ...See More
