Language learning trips have long been associated with students taking a gap year from university, a summer holiday programme or a school trip – even though the reality is very different indeed!
More and more professional adults are choocing to spend their holidays wisely – combining a week in the sun with some Spanish classes to boost their CV, learn something new, meet new people and make international contacts.
In a world where speaking a second language is becoming increasingly important – thanks to the internationalization of many companies, business people are feeling the need more and more to up the pace of their connections outside of their home country, to see what there is to learn from their neighbours!

This is more relevant now than ever, with Spain’s president having been put in charge of the European Union for the next six months, after having met just recently with the United States President Obama, the country really will be finding themselves in the spotlight.
As well as the language skills and professional advantages to be gained from taking a language trip, the personal growth experienced is a great plus point too – seeing a new side of Spain which, to many, is wrongly thought of as a gigantic holiday destination full of brits enjoying their place in the sun. Coming to do a Spanish course in Salamanca for example is an eye opener to the rich cultural heritage of Spain – and a perfect place to learn Spanish given the Castilian spoken here is said to be of the purest form of Spain!
The school is intent on making the experience as memorable as possible for its students – from organising trips around Spain and Portugal for the weekends to taking the students on nights out around the city, to see how the Spanish really live. Whatismore, by staying with a family, as is the case with many of the students who come to the school, students will see a family side to Spanish life.

A great experience not to be overlooked, learning Spanish in Spain is really something which could change your life, no matter what your age is!
