| Spanish Immersion Through
the Arts |
Learn Spanish and
experience the Yucatan this winter at Habla's
unique immersion
program!
Habla's innovative language approach
gives you real experiences with language. At
Habla you will never work through a textbook
chapter-by-chapter and fill out an endless
series of worksheets. You will tell stories and
create your own original writing in Spanish
while learning about the literature,
photography, and visual art forms of Mexican
culture. Learn Spanish by working with our team of
experienced teachers in a supportive classroom
setting in Habla's unique Spanish courses
through the arts.
In addition to your
Spanish classes, explore Yucatan from the
ancient Mayan ruins of Uxmal to the vibrant arts
and cultural scene of Merida. In Habla's Spanish
immersion programs you will learn how to cook
Yucatecan food, see screenings of Mexican films
in a cinema, and learn about the historical and
cultural aspects of the Yucatan Peninsula. You
can choose to live with a Mexican family to
experience the rhythm of Yucatecan
life.
