Learning to Speak Spanish in Mexico

Here’s an interesting article about a Canadian who goes to Guadalajara, Mexico for a three-week vacation to learn to speak Spanish. She seems to have learned quite a bit and had a lot of fun, although since she has returned home she admits she hasn’t been practicing her Spanish!

It’s also interesting to note how popular the language learning trend is becoming:

“In recent years, the demand for foreign language skills and foreign language instruction has given rise to a vast language training industry. There are many options,” says Edward Trimnell, language immersion editor for Transitions Abroad, a magazine and website dedicated to study, work, living and cultural immersion abroad.

Like other learning vacations, language learning is a growing travel trend. In the seven years Jesse Philippe has worked as director of sales for Toronto-based Languages Abroad, she has seen rising demand for experiential holidays, including studying, teaching and volunteering.

If you want to study abroad, it is best to get a head start by doing some self-study with a Spanish language course. That way, you will lessen the culture shock of adjusting to a new environment, and find it easier to settle in to your new home!
