Spanish for Foreigners
Can you imagine learning Spanish surrounded by volcanic landscapes, white-sand beaches, and vibrant villages?
This course is for you if you’re looking to learn Spanish through cultural immersion. At Erasmus Canary Islands, we’ve created a program that lets you combine learning with quality tourism on the island of Lanzarote.
Course description
During one week on the island of Lanzarote:
- You’ll practice Spanish in real, fun situations—from a stroll through the local market to an excursion through the vineyards of La Geria.
- You’ll take part in dynamic workshops focused on teaching Spanish as a foreign language.
- You’ll share experiences with other international teachers.
- You’ll immerse yourself in local culture: gastronomy, history, music… and a bit of surfing if you’re up for it!
Learn, live, and connect… all in a volcanic paradise!
