Spanish Immersion

We offer this program individually as requested or with groups. Contact us with dates or questions and we'll work with you to set up an opportunity that meets your needs. We are not a certified language school but a rural Ranch/Guesthouse looking to give you a different learning opportunity in an exciting environment.

What is immersion language study?
volunteers at immersion program
It is learning a foreign language the same way we learned English (or whatever our native language is): by living it. Your time is spent at our Ranch (their are English speaking visitors around). We will work to give you a specified amount of time with our local neighbors speaking and
hearing the language as it is used in real life.
 

Why should I consider immersion language?
Because you want to learn the language. Because it's fun. Because you can make new friends. Because you can gain an understanding of a different culture. Any or all of the above.
 

If you are ready for something new and different, then Rancho Wendy will provide an experience of a lifetime. You will find that you are giving as much back to your local Spanish instructor as you are learning. 

Community Projects:

Tell us if any of these projects interest you during your immersion experience and we can help facilitate: teaching English in a rural school, cleaning up the community, storytelling to local groups, repairing the school houses, organizing excursions to the art museum and river trekking trips, animal care and awareness (horses), local tour guide development program, creating local guide books, teaching music and songs to local groups, dance exchange events, and volunteering in the rural medical clinics.
