Benefits of a Spanish Immersion Trip

Spanish immersion trips to Spain offer a number of benefits for learners of ALL levels. These programmes can help adults improve their language skills, learn about the culture, and connect with other local Spanish speaking people, both in the community and that have been arranged through our language exchange network. Additionally, these programmes can provide a sense of community and support to all learners in the group, often learning from each other, something you don’t experience when taking a personal holiday. Also, they provide the opportunity to make friends with like minded people and have fun in the sun doing so.

Immersion trips work, because you’re continuously exposed to the language. Any amount of time spent on Spanish immersion counts because it makes you listen carefully to the rhythms, patterns, and nuances of the language and also encourages you to communicate with it. Like a child learns language, you learn passively as you go, from native speakers

To really take advantage of a Spanish immersion programme, you need to have the right mindset, forget perfectionism, allow yourself to make mistakes, don’t get frustrated if new vocabulary or grammar doesn’t stick. Often we have unrealistic expectations for how fast we should be grasping the language……and remember:

“No matter how many mistakes you make, or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying” Tony Robbins
