What you need to know

Overview

If you’re eager to travel and learn Spanish at the same time, this immersive learning experience is ideal for you. You’ll get to practice your language skills while exploring the city and interacting with your host family.

Whether you’re looking to improve your Spanish or you’re a complete beginner, this project will suit your needs perfectly. Your lessons will be tailored to your skill level, so you don’t need to worry about having to keep up with a class.

It’s also a useful way to improve your Spanish if you want to join a project with a language requirement. You can study full-time before starting your project, or choose a language add-on, so you can learn while working.

This flexible project is available all year round, and we recommend staying as long as possible to hone your Spanish skills.

A Day in the Life

Most days will begin with breakfast at your host home. This is a great opportunity for you to practice your Spanish and get to know your host family at the same time. All classes run from Monday to Friday. You will have evenings and weekends to explore with other Projects Abroad volunteers and interns.

The structure of your day will depend on whether you choose to do a standalone Spanish Language Course, or combine your studies with a project through our add-on options.

If you study full-time, you’ll have around 15 hours of classes per week. You can choose to have your classes in the mornings or afternoons. If you’re combining your language studies with a project, most of your day will be committed to project work.

Aims & Impact

This project aims to help you improve your Spanish language skills through personalised lessons and immersive learning.

It is also a brilliant opportunity for cultural exchange. Through immersing yourself in the Spanish language and interacting with your host family as well as locals, you will learn about the culture and way of life. You will leave with an understanding of traditions and practices different to those of your home country.

If you choose to combine your language course with one of our other projects, you will also become part of our ongoing efforts to support local communities. For example, if you work on a Childcare Project, you will help children with early childhood development, and teach English.

This project will leave you with an increased knowledge of Spanish and a marked improvement in both your grammar and conversational skills.

Study Spanish in Mexico and improve your language skills in a Spanish-speaking country.

Activities

You will attend one-on-one Spanish classes with a qualified teacher. The time and frequency of these lessons will depend on whether you’re studying full-time or part-time. Here are some of the activities that you can expect to do during your stay:

Learn Spanish during personal lessons
Explore and experience Mexico
Help with other work if you choose to combine your lessons with a volunteer project

Learn Spanish

Your Spanish classes will be personalised according to your knowledge and skill level. If you’re a beginner, you’ll be taught basic grammar and vocabulary. If you’re on an intermediate level, you’ll have more control over what you and your teacher focus on.

If you choose to do this as a standalone course, you will attend 15 hours of classes per week. If you choose to combine this course with one of our other projects, you’ll be able to choose between a 5, 14, or 30 hour course.

Explore Mexico

The best thing about learning Spanish in Mexico is that you’re able to practice what you learn in your lessons while you’re out and about. Improve your conversation and pronunciation by ordering lunch at a restaurant or shopping!

Participate in a volunteer project

We offer many different projects that are based in Mexico. Support early childhood development at understaffed childcare centres or gain practical work experience working with NGOs in the field of international development. Take a look at the projects we offer to see if you’d like to combine any of them with your language course.

Alternatively, you can also do a standalone course in Spanish before moving on to contribute to one of our other projects. This is particularly useful if the project you want to participate in requires you to speak Spanish. For example, your teacher can teach you medical terms that you can use if you decide to do a Medicine internship.
