PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Spanish is the second most widely spoken language globally after English. Our Spanish project is a gap year program that offers not just language learning but also cultural immersion. Participants can choose between two schools that best match their preferences to learn Spanish.
Experience learning in well-sized schools with a strong and structured education system, a friendly atmosphere, and attentive classes. You’ll make friends from around the world while improving your language skills. Forget about memorizing language rules in the classroom! This Spanish project makes learning fun and interactive by incorporating cultural experiences.
Recommended Types of Participants!
･ Type A schools are recommended for highly motivated participants who have a strong goal of mastering Spanish. With a structured system, professional teachers, and the opportunity to interact with other international students who share the same goal, you can learn Spanish effectively.
･ Type B schools have a higher ratio of international students. They are ideal for sociable individuals who want to learn the language through interaction and body language, even if there are communication barriers. These schools are recommended for those who want a more relaxed environment where they can learn both the language and the culture.
