Why Use AmeriSpan
When Travelling As A Group?
Fulltime Immersion ExperienceAmeriSpan group programs immerse participants in a language, culture, and everyday life of the host country. All participants have the opportunity to live with a local family (other options available upon request). Homestay accommodations, language classes, and organized activities offer cultural exposure 24 hours a day. Learning takes place whether eating a meal, watching local TV, visiting a museum, or participating in an activity or excursion.
