Spanish in Mexico Study Tours

The Study Tour Program begins with Pre-Tour Spanish instruction for a special purpose. The program participants will be provided with the vocabulary, definitions, history and culture of the locations, events and activities. The pre-tour Spanish instruction will prepare tour participants to understand and communicate in Spanish during the Mexico events and tours.

This Study Tour group program (for 10 to 250 participants) consists of interchangeable tours, study programs and events. This allows the study tour participants maximum flexibility for price, time or location considerations.
