This AHA program offers full support for students and is preceded by an extensive orientation. In-class learning is complemented throughout the sessions by excursions including overnight and day trips, guided visits, and other group activities included in the program fee. Students will live with a host family in Oviedo which will further improve the speed of language acquisition while exposing them to the cultural nuances that could otherwise be overlooked.
