I'm poking around for a quality summer Spanish immersion program, preferably in Central America. Does anyone recommend a specific program, or at least a good resource for researching what's available?
The difference is, as was in the program I attended, that they taught medical spanish terms used in the hospital. Also, I shadowed doctors from 2 to 6 pm straight watching the doctors see patients and I learned all kinds of stuff, all in spanish.Originally posted by personal jesus
Let me say this again, you guys are wasting so much money to go through an organized program. I understand the desire to have everything "figured out" before going but part of traveling involves taking risks and not having everything nicely layed out. If you go to a city like Antigua, Quito or any other major city there will be hundreds of excellent Spanish language schools and you will save tons of money. Moreover, you all your money will go to help the local economy and will not be skimmed off by some American organization.
I don't think they exist. If you want to take anything close to a summer spanish program in the US, you can go to a community college and take a spanish class.Originally posted by gsx56
