Language Programs in Tenerife, Spain

Words can’t describe how great the experience is. SIP is by far the most fun I’ve had on a weeks holiday where I’m meant to be actively learning something. What Alvaro and the team manage to accomplish, by bringing together a group of strangers and welcoming them as part of their family, gives everybody the confidence they need to break through those barriers of being scared to speak in another language. I feel so grateful to now have spent two weeks in SIP programs and 100% will be coming back for more, I’ve met so many wonderful people and made lifelong friends. The food, the activities, the people, it’s not just an immersion program, it’s so much more than that, it’s a week that makes you forget all the stress in your life and just live to enjoy - the perfect way to experience the Spanish culture.

I had an incredible experience in SIP Sevilla and highly recommend it! The trip was meticulously planned with a lot of fun activities. We also had enough down time to explore on our own as well. The experience had a little bit of everything: adventure, cultural exploration, checking out historical sites, a little night life, and lots of incredible food. Álvaro and the team are welcoming and made sure each moment was a memorable experience. La oportunidad practicar español todos los días es importante. Después de la experiencia, me siento más cómodo hablar y estoy emocionada que aprender más!

When I think about my experience participating in the immersion program (SIP) in Sevilla, one word keeps coming to mind- rica. Una experiencia rica- en la cultura, en la comida, lengua, amistades. If you ever have the opportunity to experience an immersion program, you won’t regret a moment with Alvaro and his team!

Fui a Sevilla el julio pasada en el programa de SIP, y me encantó. ¡Álvaro es un guía y profesor de calidad alto, y su equipo de SIP también es el mejor! Nos mostraron mucho amabilidad y amistad durante nuestro viaje. Todo del viaje fue bien organizado con actividades agradables, pero también tuvimos tiempo suficiente para relajarnos solos or con el equipo de SIP. Mejoré muchísimo mi español después de hablar con todo el mundo allá. ¿Y la comida? ¡Ay bendito, qué rica estuvo la comida! Lo recomiendo, sin reserva, el programa de SIP.

Me encanto mi experience con SIP! Fue la combinación perfecta de descanso y aprender. Álvaro, Fer, Rafa, y Diana fueron muy pacientes, amables, y divertidos! Esta fue la mejor experiencia para seguir aprendiendo español en un espacio seguro.

What an incredible way to experience Seville and grow in a new language! The teacher and staff are fantastic and put you at ease right away. I loved the house, food and cultural experiences. The house was historic, comfortable and ideally located. The food we were served was delicious and local to the region with vegan and vegetarian options. We traveled to nearby towns and beaches that were so enjoyable. I took a cooking class, flamenco class and saw a beautiful flamenco show. If you have the opportunity to participate in a Spanish Immersion Program with The Spanish Link, do it! You’ll be giving the next 5-star review.

This program is so amazing and actually THE way to learn Spanish. I moved to Spain without speaking a word of Spanish and I did not speak much when I joined the program this year in March. I have learned so much and improved both, my speaking and my listening skills immensely. I actually learned how to say things without sounding like a translator and gained so much confidence in using the language. Since the students share everyday life with the native speakers, everything you talk about is somehow interesting and helpful. No boring topics. The activities were so much fun, the people were amazing, the food was not only delicious but also local and that week really took my Spanish to the next level! I'm looking forward to the next SIP and maybe I'll see you there. If there is a spot left, go get it, you won't regret it!

First time in Spain and I had a blast! Alvaro put together such a great program, and that was the first one! We had all sorts of fun activities planned on the daily. We got to explore Seville In-depth and try out some pretty cool restaurants. We also ventured outside the city a couple times which was amazing as well. You will see a huge improvement in your Spanish because you are “practicing” most of the day. I can’t recommend this immersion program enough, Alvaro and his team really put together a great program!

This program was a fantastic opportunity to enhance my Spanish skills, taking me from A2/B1 to B1/B2 in just a short period. Beyond language improvement, it also brought me incredible new friendships, a deeper appreciation for Spanish culture, and unforgettable memories. The engaging activities, professional instructors, and supportive environment made learning enjoyable and immersive. Now I’m even more motivated to continue this journey and can’t wait to join this amazing team again, this time in Tenerife!

If you are looking for a top-rate Spanish immersion program, I can highly recommend this program, as I have experienced it firsthand. I had the luck of traveling to Seville, Spain and staying in a beautiful Spanish home with this amazing team. The team is extremely friendly and they are by your side the entire week. The dishes served were local cuisine cooked fresh in the home that you reside in for the week.... and they were delicious! All fresh ingredients with a lot of variety. The day trips provided were interesting, educational as far as learning about Spanish culture, and most importantly....fun! There are some small breaks during the days to learn Spanish in an informal manner, but honestly, you are learning Spanish all day, as you are engaged in speaking to the team about every day situations and everyday life. The team also speaks English, so no worries if your Spanish is at a beginner level. I think a Spanish student at any level of Spanish speaking would enjoy the immersion trip and return home with a larger vocabulary, increase in comfort level for speaking Spanish with native speakers, and new friends!

I joined SIP in Sevilla in 2024, and it was absolutely fantastic. As someone from England who’s been learning Spanish for a while, I wanted to push myself beyond the classroom—and this programme delivered. The classes were engaging, but the real magic happened during the cultural activities. From cooking traditional dishes and taking flamenco lessons to kayaking on the river and exploring beautiful villages, every moment felt meaningful and fun. The house where we stayed was stunning, with a lovely group of people and amazing food prepared daily by the chefs. What I loved most was how natural it felt to practise Spanish—whether during yoga at the house or chatting with locals on day trips, it never felt forced. By the end, I noticed a real improvement in my confidence and speaking skills. If you’re looking for a mix of learning and adventure, SIP is perfect!

I attended SIP in Sevilla in 2023, and it was one of the most enriching experiences I've had. The combination of structured Spanish classes and cultural activities like cooking, flamenco, and exploring local gems made learning the language feel natural and fun. The program created a warm and inclusive atmosphere, with everything—from the cozy accommodations to the delicious meals—carefully thought out. What stood out the most was how seamlessly Spanish was integrated into everyday interactions. Whether kayaking, enjoying yoga at the SIP house, or chatting during excursions, I was constantly practicing without pressure. My Spanish improved significantly, and I left with wonderful memories and new friendships. Highly recommended!
