What is study abroad?
In general, the study abroad experience consists of going to another country and learning the language of that country. Today, however, there are even programs that offer courses on languages that are not widely used in that country. For example, you can learn English in Spain by living with professor whose primary language is English. This program offers true immersion as you will live with the teacher and their family and speak only their language.
This program type is perfect for those who want to only spend a short period abroad, but still improve their language skills quickly.
There are multiple programs available, adapted to the abilities, language levels, and goals of each participant.
