Who Can Participate?
The real answer to this question is ANYONE who
has a desire to learn a new language or to improve their current language
skills. To better help you in your language travel planning, see the list
of programs for each group below.
Seniors & Retirees
Spend a few weeks or a few months in an exotic
country not just traveling, but learning the language and culture. It's
also a good way to test the waters of a possible retirement destination.
Check out AmeriSpan's recommendations for the Best
Language Programs for Seniors and Retirees.

Teen Students - during the summer
we offer a variety of programs for teenagers. Many of these
programs are similar in nature to the standard programs offered
to adults, however supervision is provided by selected host
families and the school staff in the form of a curfew and
permission by legal guardian to grant or deny independent weekend
travel. For younger teens we offer the option of highly
supervised summer camp programs in Spain. Click here for Language
Programs for Teenagers.
