WHO IS THIS SPANISH IMMERSION RETREAT FOR?

This immersive Spanish retreat is intended for all Spanish lovers who want to not only get the gist of the language but also immerse themselves in Spanish-speaking culture while studying and traveling. If you are a beginner in Spanish or you want to advance your current skills, you are going to learn a full Spanish-Entry-A-level course that will leave you with great basic conversational Spanish skills and hopefully the best memories of Colombia!

You will learn about the best methods for effective language learning through methodic workshops that teach you not only the theory but will be put into practice day by day when going about the Colombian life!

If you haven’t done a language retreat before, this is the time to savour the benefits of learning while you dive into the cultural aspects of a society. Ultimately it will be one of the best things you’ll ever experience (I’m speaking out of experience) and that is why we are more than happy to accompany you on your language-learning journey!

                              

Learn Spanish in the vibrant cities of Medellín and Cartagena on our itinerary in Colombia.

Whether you dream of traveling the world or just want to take your Spanish skills to a new level, our Colombia course is for you. You’ll spend 12 days immersing yourself in the language and culture of the most diverse Colombian cities with lots to see and do.

Explore the South American country known for its breathtaking natural beauty and rich culture. After kicking off with 3 days in Medellín, we will be headed north to the ‘Pearl of the Caribbean’ to stay in the enchanted city of Cartagena, widely considered one of the most beautiful destinations in Colombia. Here you will find a melange of culture, history, and natural beauty that has turned it into one of the world’s most sought-after tourist destinations.
