The
Verano en Espa�a program is the
ideal way to reinforce and fine-tune the Spanish skills gained in the classroom.
Students have the opportunity to use the language on a daily basis during
their home stay in Salamanca as well as on the tour of Andaluc�a.
Students
will gain a greater appreciation of Spanish culture through visits to the
monuments and historical sites they have read about as well as through their
interactions in everyday life.
Highlights
of the program include:
Three-week home stay with a Spanish family in the university city of Salamanca
Three weeks of classes at the Hispano Continental School
One week tour of Madrid and Andaluc�a (Granada, C�rdoba and Sevilla)
Tours of Toledo, Segovia, El Escorial and Valle de los Ca�dos
Guided tours of Salamanca
Tarde de tapas
Excursion on horseback
Afternoon movies
What
other participants have said:
�The
Spain I found turned out very different from the Spain I had expected. What I thought would be a mediocre trip was one of the best
vacations I�ve ever had. Spain
has a rich culture, wonderful people, plenty of things to see, and a language
and history that deserved more respect than I had been willing to give them.
I hope to return to study while I�m at college, but until then, I
recommend that any Spanish-speakers who want to learn more about the language
they�re studying�and who want to have a great time in the process�to try
Mrs. Marmion�s trip. They�ll be glad they did.�
�I
believe my speaking, writing and listening skills have all improved in Spain.
For the first time, I am feeling comfortable speaking the language.�
�I
loved this trip and the experience it provided and all that I learned. � I
will recommend it to my friends.�
�Era
muy divertido, y si una persona quiere, puede aprender mucho espa�ol.�
�I
think both my vocabulary and my fluency improved. � I no longer have to think
before I say everything.�
�Tell
anyone to plan to actually work some (not all play). Bring plenty of film! I
would recommend it to my friends who would want to work some, learn about
another culture, and have fun!�
�I enjoyed the excursions and my classes were fun. I learned a lot, and I think my speaking ability improved a great deal.�
�My
Spanish has improved. My vocabulary
is larger and I�m not afraid to speak anymore.�
�I
thought this program was really awesome.�
