Program Details

Are yo interested in learning or practicing different languages? Would you like to learn Spanish in a country where it's the official language? Do you want to travel to the land of eternal spring: Guatemala? This is your chance to come visit and have a great and unforgettable experience!

I speak Spanish (native), English and Italian fluently, and I've studied German and Mandarin Chinese for some months, so I'm interested in practicing either of those languages or learning a bit of others, I want to learn some French, Portuguese and Russian as well

Activities & Shift

We'll speak all the time so we'll practice a lot! What's better than learning Spanish in a country where it's the official language? (And it’s said our Spanish is one of the most accurate and neutral in Latin America)

I’ll ask you to join me to my daily activities so you get the chance to help me in whatever I’m doing, meet my family & friends, know about our culture & try our gastronomy

It’s basically having fun while you practice/learn Spanish & I practice/learn your language (I’m open to learning any language, just know that if you speak some language not listed above you’ll have to know at least the basics in Spanish in order for us to understand each other 😆)

There’s no need of a schedule since it’s all about talking

FREE

Tours: Antigua Guatemala (colonial city) + Puerto San José (volcanic sand beach)
