You’ll find Guatemala in Central America an authentic and unique country to learn Spanish, take part on voluntary projects and travel through. It’s steeped in history, beautiful scenery and possesses a rich cultural heritage.
As with our other language programs, there is the option of being taught Spanish and then taking up a voluntary placement, or if you’d rather, just travel you way around Latin America. In fact, taking part on a language program in Guatemala should be considered essential for traveling South or Central America, or helping on a voluntary program, as it will make your stay a much richer and enjoyable experience and give you a deeper insight into the lives of local people.
The Language SchoolReal Gap’s language education school opened in Guatemala in 2001, located in a renovated old colonial house very near to Antigua’s central park. Not only will you be taught Spanish there, the school will also organize activities that will allow you to get to know the area and other travelers and volunteers.
- Orientation walk of Antigua
- Visits to local areas of interest, like Museums, Plantations and Farms
- Visits to neighbouring (indigenous) villages
- Salsa Classes, Cultural classes, Parties & Fiestas
- Spanish language videos & movies
- Sports days
- Extra Guatemala volunteer options
LocationWe have 2 schools – one in the town of Antigua, and the other in Jocotenango (2kms from Antigua) Both are located approximately 45 mins from Guatemala City, the capital. You may choose which school to attend.
Accommodation and MealsStudents will stay with one of our host families who are all known personally by our project staff. You will be treated as one of the family, given your own room and key, and provided with 3 meals a day. This situation will greatly improve your Spanish skills.
