Spanish language study trip: Learn Spanish directly on site.

Have you been thinking about taking a Spanish language course for some time or giving your child such an experience? Language schools in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries offer language courses and accommodation to suit almost every need. But do you know where and for what?

You can learn Spanish in many countries around the world, including Spain, El Salvador, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Peru and many other African and North and Central American countries.

As the fourth most spoken language in the world and, after English, the most frequently learned foreign language, it is, with the exception of Spain, Equatorial Guinea and a few small islands, the official language only on the North and South American continents. For people who have professional or private contacts in Hispanic America, would like to travel to one of the many Spanish-speaking countries or want to get to know Spain not only because of its language, but also its people and culture, it is often advisable to attend a language course at a language school in the respective country and not just improve or build up their foreign language skills in language courses here in Switzerland.

Longer-term stays in Spanish-speaking countries can often be combined very well with a Spanish language course. It makes sense for travel enthusiasts and those interested in learning Spanish to start with a Spanish course lasting several weeks, during which they attend a language course every day and then spend a few weeks getting to know the country and its people. It is also not uncommon to choose the sequence language course - travel - language course, in which the basic language skills are acquired first, followed by a longer or shorter (round) trip and then a few weeks back at the Spanish language school. This is the best way to consolidate your Spanish and guarantee linguistic success.

If you don't have that much time, you can opt for language schools in Spain or other Spanish-speaking countries during a Spanish language study trip. Whether Barcelona or Madrid, Valencia, Malaga or Seville, Spanish language enthusiasts enjoy the advantage of a short journey, a manageable price and a very similar culture. If, on the other hand, you're looking for something a little more exotic, you might opt for a Spanish language study trip to Botoga, Colombia, Playa del Carmen or Oaxaca in Mexico, Buenos Aires in Argentina or Panama City in, well, how could it be otherwise, Panama.

Each individual destination offers a variety of challenges, opportunities, experiences and requirements for language study trips, so you should find out all you can about the region, people, culture, linguistic characteristics and peculiarities before choosing a suitable country or city.

To ensure that your language study trip for Spanish language courses runs smoothly right from the start, we recommend thorough preparation. Find out about providers and offers in detail, consult our FAQs and guides and make sure that the offer always matches your goals and wishes. If you want to learn accent-free business Spanish quickly, don't look for a vacation course in a beach/ocean region like Bocas del Toro in Panama, and for a relaxed and stress-free Spanish language stay, don't necessarily choose an intensive course or preparation course for a Spanish language certificate such as the DELE (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera) or the TELC (The European Language Certificates). Choose the Spanish course that best suits your needs and request a no-obligation quote from any provider.

Use our form to contact the relevant Spanish language schools and get comprehensive advice about a year abroad, a language study trip lasting several months or even a language study trip lasting several weeks.

Questions and answers

Nowadays, it's not just teenagers and young adults who want to learn a new language or improve their Spanish, but also more and more professionals and older people. For this reason, language courses for 50+ or even language courses for seniors are being offered more and more frequently. Such a language study trip is thematically geared towards this target group, so that sentences such as "My name is Karla and I'm in 8th grade" do not occur in such a language course. The pace of learning is also adapted, especially in senior language courses, and promises a pleasant learning atmosphere. In addition to the language courses, leisure activities are often undertaken together with the group, such as excursions and visits to restaurants, cultural events or places of interest. In this way, what has been learned in the Spanish language course is applied immediately after the day, maximizing the learning effect.

Yes, when you register for a language study trip to a Spanish-speaking country, you decide which language course you would like to attend. As a rule, you can choose between different intensities, which is reflected in the number of lessons per week. For example, some language schools offer Spanish courses from as little as 15 lessons per week, with the average for a standard course being around 20 lessons per week. Intensive courses with 25 or 30 lessons per week are also possible, as are combination courses consisting of a standard course with 20 lessons plus 5 or 10 individual lessons. There are also diploma preparation courses, courses directly at the teacher's home or mini-groups, business language courses, courses for special age groups, special courses that combine a leisure activity such as diving, surfing, cooking or salsa with a language course or even exclusively private lessons, which can include an individual number of lessons per week depending on your own wishes. Before booking your Spanish language course, you should therefore take a close look at the different types of Spanish language courses to find the one that suits you best.

Before your language study trip for a Spanish language course, you decide what type of accommodation you would like, such as a hall of residence, a hostel or accommodation with a host family. If you have chosen the "host family" option, you can make special requests with some schools, for example that you would like a smoke-free and pet-free household, that you would like a single room with a private bathroom or that you follow a special diet plan. However, whether your family consists of an older couple or a large family with five children is often beyond your control. However, many language schools try to take the wishes of their students into account as far as possible. Therefore, if you absolutely want to stay in a childless household during your language study trip or, conversely, not at all with a married couple without children, let them know when you book your language study trip to a Spanish-speaking country so that they can choose a host family according to your wishes. It is best to speak directly to the school in question about your requirements and clarify the details in advance.

Although it is obvious to learn Spanish in Spain, for example in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Alicante, Tarifa, Seville, Salamanca, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca or one of the many other attractive cities, a language study trip to learn Spanish can of course also take place in another Spanish-speaking country. Popular countries include Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Cuba, Panama, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Ecuador and Guatemala. Which country, region and city is best suited to you depends primarily on you and your expectations. If you want to learn Spanish quickly and easily, don't want to take a long flight and can estimate your budget well, Spain will certainly be the best alternative for you. Which city you choose in this case depends on what you expect from a language study trip. You will find the youngest possible people and parties in Ibiza, for example, whereas in Granada it is mainly cultural and scenic journeys of discovery that are possible. If Spain is not an option for a language study trip, choose the most fascinating Latin American country for you and find out about the special features of the individual destinations directly from the language schools.

Language students can prepare for Spanish diploma examinations in special diploma courses. During a language study trip for a Spanish diploma, you will attend a preparation course for one of the DELE examinations (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera). These exams are officially recognized and confirm the corresponding level of Spanish at six different levels: Beginner A1, Basic A2, Intermediate B1, Advanced B2, Efficient C1 and Mastery C2. However, not every language school offers preparation courses for every language level, so you should enquire about this directly with the individual Spanish language schools at the start of your search (e.g. via our contact form). You should also note that these special courses do not start every week, but are based on the exam dates. DELE exams take place a total of eight times a year, although not every language level can be tested on every exam date. The language schools for a Spanish language study trip will provide you with detailed information on this.
