Want to improve your Spanish?

If you don’t feel that your Spanish is at an appropriate level or if you’d like to improve/ refresh your existing skills, you might like to consider taking a Spanish course as part of your volunteer programme.

We offer two in-country courses:

Intensive

- 1 week, 20 hours.
- Monday to Friday, 4 hours daily for 5 days.

This 5-day course takes place prior to the start of your 8 or 12 week volunteer programme. The price includes the extra accommodation with a host family, breakfast and an evening meal. This course doesn’t allow time to volunteer during your study week.

Cost: £250

Standard

- 1 week, 10 hours.
- Monday to Friday, 2 hours daily (afternoons) for 5 days.

This course combines with your project to allow you time to volunteer in the mornings and study in the afternoons during the first week of your programme. The course time is inclusive of your 8 or 12 week programme.

Cost: £100

The courses have been designed to provide the chance to learn Spanish whilst living within a local Peruvian community.

Living with a family (who may have very limited English) and joining in with the daily home activities will help you to tune in to Spanish. The lessons are based on general subjects such as Peruvian culture and daily situations. Participants are placed in a small class with students of a similar ability.



If you’re interested in studying Spanish in Peru without the volunteer element, please contact BUNAC for more information.
