Our Spanish Immersion in Guatemala program gives you the opportunity to study and practice Spanish while living with a local host family and joining one of our volunteer projects in Guatemala. You can join our Spanish Immersion in Guatemala program in the cities of Antigua and Quetzaltenango. Spanish lessons are provided by experienced professional teachers on a one-on-one basis. Teachers design lesson plans with your input so you get the most out of the program. Occasionally there are group Spanish lessons (as pictured above in Xela).
