Do you want to learn a new language abroad? If you want to add to your skill set, why not learn to speak the local lingo while travelling to a different and exciting destination? A gap trip is the ideal time to learn and develop, to improve your CV with new skills and to have a culturally immersive experience. There's no better way to soak up the flavours of the local culture than by learning to speak the language.
One of the most popular language learning experiences abroad is to learn to speak Spanish. Get your head round the local Spanish lingo as you travel to stunning Central or South America. Spanish classes are offered for all levels, from beginner to advanced, and are held in small group classes so you can really benefit from your teacher's knowledge. You can even combine learning a language with adventure travel or volunteering abroad and put your new language skills to the test!

Central America is also Spanish-speaking, and as such makes it the perfect destination to learn a new language.
