Reasons FOR taking a language course in PeRU
Why a Language trip to Peru?
The Peruvian experience stretches along the Pacific coast and the Andes. Although more and more young Peruvians are speaking English in the urban regions, Spanish is the most and often only language spoken in rural areas, where the country's hotspots are located. Therefore, the best way to start your Peruvian experience is with a Language course in Peru to get to know the country and its people better and more authentically.
The great thing about Peru is that you can use your new knowledge straight away. In contrast to many other countries in Latin America, people in Peru speak a very clear and slow Spanish. You will therefore quickly notice your learning success in everyday life.
In addition to the locals, you will also meet many other international backpackers in your Spanish course, who will quickly go from classmates to friends to travel companions. During the language course, you have the perfect opportunity to connect with others and embark on a language journey through Peru together.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPERIENCE ANOTHER ADVENTURE AFTER YOUR LANGUAGE COURSE?
After your language course in Peru, you'll be perfectly prepared to continue your Work & Travel Program or Volunteer project of your choice to make your language study trip unforgettable. We have programs in different areas to get involved in the country and give something back.
