language is actually spoken, and to immerse yourself completely.

One of Spanish School Panajachel info's main objectives is to facilitate contact between possible host families and students.

We feel that the many advantages of living with a host family far outweigh the alternative ways of learning.

Cost

The biggest advantage, of course, is the economic one. No agents to pay, no host families to pay and no school fees!

Intensive learning

In our experience learn more staying and working with a host family than they do in a 4 week course at a language school. They are not put into a class of students with the same mother tongue and they have the opportunity to mix directly with native speakers of the country of their choice.

Meaningful communication

You have a reason to communicate. Working with somebody is often the best way to start conversations and help expand your vocabulary.

Choice of location

You get to choose your own destination and host family simply by looking at our host list and emailing the families or organisations that interest you the most.

Choice of work

If you are learning a language for career/professional reasons you can also select a situation within the same field, so that the language you acquire is tailored to your future needs.

Choice of setting

In the country, by the beach, in the mountains, wherever suits you best. Choosing a setting where you feel comfortable, relaxed and happy means you will learn much more quickly too.


The advantages of immersion

Communicating with a local person and speaking in a classroom situation are completely different scenarios.

In class you are either conversing with non-native students or with the teacher who has already provided you with the necessary language and has pre-meditated expectations on how you are going to respond.

A local person may have less of a sympathetic ear, but that is precisely what makes it more meaningful, more of a challenge, and a lot more rewarding. It is, after all, real communication. Not only does it teach you to stand on your feet, but it will develop your confidence in the language in leaps and bounds.

Total immersion is a high impact experience, tough at times, but definitely a fast track way to language acquisition.

The language becomes part of your life, there is no time for chewing on the end of your pencil and gazing out the window wishing you were out there. Because you will be out there! The “where” is up to you.
