LINKS   LANGUAGE INSTITUTE offers courses of 20 hours per week; this standard course will leave enough time for practicing newly acquired skills, not only with the Ecuadorian homestay family but also in programmed activities.

Classes are held at Espiritu Santo University's beautiful tree-lined tropical campus, where students have access to free Internet. Our small groups of closely matched students guarantee individual attention from teachers. In four 20-hour weeks, combined with our program of Latin Immersion, students will learn more than in several years of high school Spanish.

Prior Spanish is not required, but students whose language is sufficiently advanced, may, depending on their age, also register at Espiritu Santo University or at Ecomundo High School . While attending classes in Spanish, they will be able to pursue knowledge in fields of their special interest in areas as diverse as Law, Tourism or Cooking. Even if no additional courses are taken, being in a world class university will create an opportunity for lasting friendship with students

Course fees are US$ 800 for a 4-week course of 20 hours per week. Weekend adventure will be organized on request. Surfing, mountain climbing, jungle trekking. You name it.

Homestay cost varies depending on whether students choose private rooms or prefer to share their accommodation, but it will average US$ 480 per month with bed and breakfast.
