WEEKEND en español®

Retiros/Retreats

COME to WEEKEND en español® and experience Spanish IMMERSION at a beautiful California retreat site. Absolutely nothing works as well as SUSTAINED PRACTICE to obtain new language skills, confidence, and FLUENCY. And when you immerse yourself in 52 hours straight, using Spanish for all your interactions, it becomes part of you!

You can START your study of Spanish from the beginning with us, or push yourself to a new level and MAKE A REAL LINGUISTIC BREAK-THROUGH! Spend Friday noon through Sunday afternoon (4:00 PM) with us, and you will:

  • IMPROVE your pronunciation
  • GAIN new vocabulary
  • FOCUS on specific verb tenses and structure
  • STRENGTHEN your oral communication skills
  • ACQUIRE new linguistic and cultural understanding
  • PRACTICE all your skills in living contexts
  • ENJOY using the language in a supportive and friendly environment

You'll have structured workshops, MINI-LESSONS on selected grammar points and verb tenses, interactive verbal GAMES and activities, as well as some more open-ended opportunities to PRACTICE spontaneous language. MUSIC, CULTURE, and LATIN FOOD are all part of the program. We respond to our participants' personal language needs and we promise to be supportive and encouraging at every step of the way! Nowhere else will you find a program as intensive, challenging, or as FUN as WEEKEND en español®!
