Chile: Apprend l'espagnol au Chile !

About the local hosting organization

Linguaschools, network of Spanish language schools Linguaschools is a boutique Spanish language school network for adult learners, with schools in Spain and Latin America. Our schools combine the reliability of an established network with the personal atmosphere of smaller, familiar schools. You can study Spanish from one week to several months, with intensive courses, long-term study options, accommodation and cultural activities throughout the year. Each destination has its own local character, but all Linguaschools schools share the same idea: high-quality Spanish courses, personal guidance and real cultural immersion.

Presentation of the programme

Our Spanish school in Santiago In a beautiful early 20th-century mansion you’ll find Linguaschools Santiago. Bright colours give off a feeling of energy that’s typical for the city. It feels like you’re learning in a home, rather than a school. 12 classrooms surround an interior garden and you’ll see artistic details throughout. Most our teachers are native to the city, so as well bringing their experience and knowhow, they will help you explore the Chilean capital like a local. San Cristobal Hill provides the backdrop to the school. It’s the largest park in the city and a good place to relax after classes. You’ll be studying right on the edge of an elegant, upper-class area called Providencia, next to Bellavista, an upcoming neighbourhood known for its artisans and culture. Think restaurants, theatres, pubs, shops, students, and more. And think about using your Spanish skills every moment you’re in the city. Santiago loves visitors who speak Spanish and you will quickly make new friends.

This really helps the learning process, making it fun and interesting, as well as educational. In addition, individual classes help you focus on weak areas and your own specific language requirements. Group lessons can be supplemented by 5 or 10 individual lessons.

About the location

Santiago, Chile A buzzing city beneath snow-capped mountains, Santiago is one of the world’s best travel surprises. With such a stunning mountain backdrop it’s easy to see why so many people love Santiago. Chile’s capital is the perfect mix of urban fun and wide-open spaces. Here there is everything you could want from a city – markets, galleries, museums, shops, nightlife – mixed with beautiful hillside parks and sidewalks that are made for walking. A lot is changing as Santiago transforms itself from outpost to world-class travel destination. Every neighbourhood has its own style and they are easily connected by public transport, or on your own two feet. There’s a buzz to the streets but it’s not overwhelming or crowded; the mountains are so close and they keep everything in check. Santiago is a very liveable city. You can see the main sights in a few days but after a few weeks you’ll come to know the city like a local. By doing so you’ll have endless opportunity to practice your Spanish, whether while sat at a cafe terrace or heading out into the surrounding vineyards. And you’ll also come to understand why Santiago is one of the world’s top travel surprises.

About the leisure activities

A program of cultural activities helps you make the most of your experience – educationally and socially. The activity program is another chance to learn, about Chilean culture and using Spanish in conversation. But it’s also a lot of fun. Most weekday activities are free and help you explore unique aspects of the city. And with a weekend in Santiago you’re spoiled for choice over places to go.
