Learning a language is a long process; why not add some fun?
There are tons of Language & Fun programs out there that can really add
some flair to your studies. Language & Fun programs combine regular
language classes with activities such as travel, surfing, golf, wine tasting,
cooking, dance, art and much more! Programs are offered in many languages, currently Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Korean, and Japanese.
Most programs are open to any language level and all ages over 18 (not
including programs that serve alcoholic beverages). There are even Golden Age
programs for participants 50+.
Interesting Language & Fun programs to check out are the
Activa Spanish programs, offered in Antigua, Guatemala; Quito, Ecuador; Cusco,
Peru; and Sucre, Bolivia. Participants have seven hours per day of Spanish
classes and culture. Classes take place for four hours, then three hours each
afternoon are spent on local excursions to museums, cathedrals, fruit markets,
archeological sites, and more. The Activa program is an excellent way to learn
Spanish and really experience your host city.
Interested in learning Spanish and Latin dance? Several
Spanish programs are offered, paired with dance instruction. Spanish is offered
with Flamenco, Latin dance (Merengue, Bachata, and Salsa), Salsa, and Tango in
locations in Spain, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Argentina. Practicing
your Spanish skills while learning to dance like a local is a great way to meet
new people and become truly immersed in a new culture.
For martial arts enthusiasts, several options are offered.
Learn traditional and modern stances, footwork, kicks, hand techniques, body
coordination and balance in Beijing, China in the Chinese and Kung Fu program.
Practice some Japanese in Tokyo while strengthening your Judo or Karate skills.
In Seoul, Korea, learn Korean while practicing Taekwondo with experienced
Korean masters in Korean and Taekwondo. In Salvador, Brazil, take Portuguese
and Capoeira to learn the ancient ritual of capoeira, an exotic mock combat of
two fighters who perform lunges, kicks, and punches to the beat of drums,
clapping, and singing of the onlookers. A truly exciting experience!
This is just a small sample of all the wonderful Language
& Fun programs AmeriSpan offers. To learn more about the above programs, or
