Spanish Immersion Travel Programs
Immerse yourself in the language, take Spanish classes from the locals, explore new cities, try new foods, and travel with other language learners. While you are investing in your language growth, your program participation will also invest in local educational efforts in the destination country. Clases Con Elizabeth started as virtual Spanish classes for adults, and has grown into short-term Spanish immersion travel programs.

Language Immersion
Participants are encouraged to communicate in Spanish as much as possible with both the local people and fellow travelers. Language growth is a main focus of the program, and this is your opportunity to immerse yourself and give your Spanish skills a boost to the next level! The majority of tours included in the program are given primarily in Spanish (although there may be times when guides use English).
​
International Airfare:
The international flights are not included in the program price. This will allow you the flexibility to book the airline, flight schedule, seat, etc., of your choice. Important: there is a minimum number of participants required for the program to be confirmed. It's advisable to wait for the program to be confirmed before purchasing your international airfare, even if you have already booked your spot on the trip. The program will not be officially confirmed for travel until there are a minimum of 5-8 participants registered (depending on your destination), not including the program leader.
Bilingual Program Leader
The group will be accompanied by an experienced Spanish teacher as the Bilingual Program Leader to support participants' language growth and to coordinate the group activities. Learn more about the program leader here.

In Oaxaca: The group will stay at Hotel Con Corazón, which "invests most of its profits in education. Our Oaxaca program supports students from low-income families in and around Oaxaca city in their education path, in order to give them a head start at the labour market and break their families' poverty cycle." Read more on Hotel Con Corazon's website.
In Perú: A portion of the program price will be donated directly to Peruvian educational organization and/or a local school to support local educational programs. By traveling on a Clases Con Elizabeth program to Perú, you will also be creating positive impact by investing in local educational efforts.

I can't wait to share these international experiences with Spanish language learners.
