- Is it okay for the host family if a complete Spanish beginner stays with them? I would try to involve myself in a conversation in some way.“Yes, of course, it's best to jump straight into the deep end. The families have experience with this and this is the quickest way to learn Spanish. If things really don't go any further for language reasons, there are always English or translation services on the Internet.”Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
- I am interested in staying in a host family with breakfast only. How do most others do it? I thought that maybe we would meet up with the other students in the city in the evening. Is that so, or do most people stay with their host families in the evenings?“It's actually a mix. The advantage of half board is that you have even more contact points to practice your Spanish because some meals are eaten with the family. Others like to eat out in the evening and prefer just breakfast. If you book a host family, I most often recommend half board. If you want to go out in the evening, you can either do it before/after dinner or you can talk to the family if you don't come to dinner. Sometimes you can get a packed lunch for the day instead. That depends on the family.”Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
- I'm traveling from Mexico City. What is the best connection?“Take a look at Rome2Rio. There is a good initial overview of the connections and I can ask the school for more details.”Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
