The Language Center
is located at Mazatlán, one of Mexico's most popular beach
resorts. Participants can choose an intensive Spanish program
(total immersion) or fewer hours of Spanish classes per day. Most
participants choose homestays with Mexican families, but the Center
also arranges hotel, apartment and condo accommodations. Specialized
Spanish courses in business and medical Spanish are available.
The participants are adults from around the world and include
university students studying Spanish for credit, professionals
preparing to do business in Latin America, and retirees who are
planning to travel or retire in Mexico or Latin America.
