Spanish Immersion: Standard 20

This group program combines in perfect balance of grammar and conversation. Within four hours a day, the student will learn everything from the basic rules of grammar to the most complex oral expressions, all step by step, in the best environment. With our method, students take a lead role in their learning, working in groups or pairs. By working under the professor’s instructions, students will be able to observe, analyze, discover, understand, and assimilate the grammar resulting in applying these skills to practical use (real situations that arise in daily life). Students observe, discover, and understand how the language functions instead of gaining a shallow understanding of memorized rules. The ultimate goal is personal ownership and agency over grammatical rules. This methodology is based on Guided Learning principles.

Prepare for Language Programs in Peru

Set goals

Before you take off for Peru, setting clear goals will make your language learning experience more meaningful and successful.

  • Define your focus. Decide if you want to master Spanish fluency, gain conversational skills, or explore Quechua to connect with indigenous communities.
  • Choose the right environment. Big cities like Lima provide fast-paced immersion, while smaller towns such as Urubamba offer intimate cultural experiences.
  • Consider program structure. Language schools, university courses, and service-learning programs each bring unique learning styles and opportunities.
  • Plan your budget. Balance program fees, living expenses, and excursions while also researching scholarships or crowdfunding for extra support.

Studying a language in Peru offers far more than vocabulary and grammar. It’s an immersive, life-changing experience.

  • Authentic immersion. Practice Spanish daily with locals while also having the chance to explore Quechua.
  • Cultural connection. Experience Peru’s blend of indigenous and Spanish traditions through food, festivals, and art.
  • Affordable living. From fresh market produce to public transportation, the cost of living is student-friendly.
  • Adventure opportunities. Language programs often include cultural excursions, hikes in the Andes, or visits to historic sites.

Before booking that one-way ticket, consider a few key things to keep in mind when joining a language program in Peru.

  • Scholarships are out there. Many programs offer aid, and sites like FundMyTravel make fundraising a breeze.
  • Cost of living. Peru is affordable, with meals, transport, and housing options well within student budgets.

I am so glad I chose Máximo Nivel. It is a challenging program that is very well organized. The entire staff is warm and welcoming. They know the students by name and work hard to ensure you get the best experience. The results you see will depend upon the level of effort you put forth both during and outside of class, but Máximo Nivel gives you the tools and support to make it possible. They offer many opportunities to interact with other students and staff (most are free!), including cooking classes, walking tours, and more. The teachers are excellent at gauging your pace of learning and adapting as much as possible to your needs. The tandem program is a well organized way to get more conversation practice while meeting some amazing people. I look forward to coming back in the future to reinforce my learning and spend more time in this beautiful place.
