Summer Spanish Immersion at the Beach

Coruna is an incredible city, and my spanish class was the perfect mix of difficulty and fun. Nicole, the programs leader, is extremely prepared to help with anything you might need. Best month of my life! I wish it could've lasted longer!

This is a great program. My Spanish improved tremendously both from the full immersion and the university classes. The school and the city felt very familiar and it was refreshing to be in a non touristy area. I had traveled to Spain before, and the bigger cities were very hussle and bussle. Coruña had a more laid back atmosphere that made it feel like a second home. Linguistic horizons was very informative about what to expect from the city and how to get around. The ciudad vieja, or old city, part of town was my favorite place since it was close to the beautiful port and had an a type of renaissance charm. I felt very safe walking around town and taking the buses and did not have much trouble with bus schedules. Although I did learn to always be a few minutes early for the bus. Even though the food was different, it was pretty good. As a vegan, I thought it would be difficult to eat out and find options to fit my diet, but I was able to eat almost everywhere. The pimientos de padrón became my favorite dish! Overall this was a great experience and I highly recommend this program.

It was a life changing experience that I would gladly do again. I made friends, learned about a new culture, traveled and ate fantastic food. Working an internship while taking classes was especially crucial as I feel that it was the best way for me to improve my Spanish speaking abilities while simultaneously understanding a new culture. On top of this, it has prepped me for my future career wise as well! I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking the Spanish experience/ anyone looking to improve upon professional development internationally.

This program introduced me to the amazing city that is La Coruña, with great teachers to help improve my Spanish, and lots of opportunities to discover the city, the region and its people. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone looking to have a fun time while meeting new people from around the world and learning about different cultures. A+!

I had never really traveled much before. In fact, I had never been out of the country before. I knew that I would have to take Spanish at some point and when I found a flier for Linguistic Horizons I knew that it was what I wanted. I went to Spain alone to take Spanish classes and travel for 7 weeks. I had absolutely no idea what to expect. Right away I was welcomed by Nicole the program director and she made my transition into living abroad as smooth as possible. I ended up having an absolutely amazing experience as I was fully immersed in the culture of Spain. I actually learned Spanish, which would have never happened if I were to take a two semester Spanish course at my university. I miss my trip dearly and I recommend it to all who are interested.

The program was an incredible experience for me. I loved being emersed in the culture, I had one of the most effective Spanish professors, and the program director did an amazing job! I fell in love with country because of the beautiful architecture and culture. The small beach town of Coruña had some many different things to offer from social night life, to gorgeous views, and beaches, the old city, architecture... Everything made it a great experience, especially having Nicole Berry, the program director taking care of the details and going above and beyond!

Participating in this program was the best decision I've ever made! The knowledge I gained ( socially , culturally and educationally ) is priceless . Everyone involved was very helpful and made the process smooth. If I could , I would join every year and do it all over again !!!
