PROJECT INTRODUCTION
* More participant reviews can be found at the bottom of the project under "Participant Feedback."
Spanish, used by over 520 million people in more than 20 countries worldwide, is the second most spoken language after Chinese. It is the primary language in most South American countries, and with the growing importance of the South American market, the popularity of Spanish continues to rise. Learn Spanish in South America at a much cheaper price than in Spain! Given the increasing exchanges between South American countries, learning Spanish in South America can be a significant advantage.

1. Master Spanish at a more affordable price
Peru is one of the more affordable countries in South America. Moreover, compared to other South American countries, its accent is closer to standard Spanish, and given that many tourist spots are English-friendly, it's an ideal place to start learning Spanish. Have you wanted to learn Spanish but felt it was too costly? Take this opportunity to master Spanish at a more reasonable price.
2. Immerse yourself in the local culture in a relaxed environment
Is it just about studying at a Spanish school? No, no! In the mornings, you can enjoy learning Spanish with teachers and friends, and in the afternoons, you can have fun participating in activities like soccer, cultural exchange events, and Latin dance, applying what you've learned in real-life situations. Cusco is also rich in sights, and you can easily take trips to Machu Picchu, so there’s never a dull moment. Through direct exposure to local culture and interaction with Peruvian people, you’ll experience the real Peru, something a brief tourist visit can’t offer.
3. The first step to making your South American trip even more special: learning Spanish
Most South American countries, including Peru, use Spanish. Learning Spanish before you begin your South American journey will allow you to make the most of your travels. Many travelers stay in Cusco for a period, learn Spanish, and then begin their adventure. Join travelers from around the world, enjoy learning Spanish, and create a unique travel experience!
This is a project to learn Spanish and South American culture intensively in Cusco, the capital of the ancient Inca Empire and a gateway city to Machu Picchu, one of the 7 Wonders of the World. Cusco, Peru offers an ideal environment for learning Spanish, with its relatively low cost of living, beautiful city, and various sightseeing spots. Make friends with people from all over the world in Cusco, the mecca of South American travelers!
