Learn Spanish in San Juan
Spanish Immersion in Puerto Rico
Learning Spanish abroad in San Juan, Puerto Rico is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island located just east of the Dominican Republic. About the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined, the island is characterized by mountains, coastal plains, a rainforest, and pristine beaches. In addition to being rich in Taino Indian Culture and colonial history, Puerto Rico boasts one of the most stable economies in all of Latin America.
Learn Spanish Language in Puerto Rico:
* School Closes in San Juan on April 26, 2008 *
The new location is in another city and we will need to inspect the new city and facilities before offering this program, so we are accepting no Puerto Rico bookings for dates after April 26, 2008.
The capital (population about 1 million) spreads along the northern coast. Old San Juan, a walled-in section in the center of the city, has a great deal of colonial charm and character. Buildings and churches are well-maintained and painted various pastel colors. A free electric trolley runs around the old city. The metropolitan section of San Juan provides all the variety of a cosmopolitan center.
School Facilities:
Located in one of the city's most commercially active and culturally diverse areas, Santurce. Stationed on the first floor, the school has 7 air-conditioned classrooms, free parking with 24-hour security and a computer room with wireless DSL available free for student use.
Participants:
Majority are professionals from US, some university students during the summer. Also English is taught to locals.
