Description

Immerse yourself in a cultural exchange in Spain as an aupair or a language assistant. Teach your native language and learn Spanish in return.

Being an au pair/Language Assistant means living with a family, becoming a part of your host family, and joining in some of their activities. It also means being able to integrate in their habits and customs. You will certainly improve your language skills and improve your career prospects. Living with one of our host families takes out the worries and cost of living in another country and you will be able to learn about the country first hand. You will also have the opportunity to gain language qualifications and to know Spain.
