SUCRE BOLIVIA - SPANISH IMMERSION

Class Schedule
Classes take place between Monday and Friday, the general schedule:

8:30 - 10:30: classes and lectures
10:30 - 11:00: coffee break
11:00 - 13:00: classes and lectures

This will provide 20 classes of 60 minutes each. Teachers will also change each week in order to offer a variety of experiences.

FIRST SESSION (8:30 to 10:30 am) This first session will be specifically dedicated to studying grammar and to practicing reading, comprehension and writing style.

GRAMMAR: Each student will study linguistic structures, grammatical functions and rules of Spanish. It has a very pragmatic approach in combination with a wide range of consolidation activities that are selected to reinforce the lesson of the day.

READING COMPREHENSION: The development of this skill will be carried out with real texts or didactically created ones that are coordinated to the lecture. With the help and guidance of the teacher, each student will interpret the texts orally and in writing to further aid their comprehension. Orthographic rules, vocabulary and punctuation will also be reviewed.

SECOND SESSION (11:00 to 13:00): This second session will be dedicated to studying oral comprehension and expression.

ORAL COMPREHENSION: The development of this skill will be carried out with real and didactically created documents that are designed to coordinate with the lecture. The student, with the help of the teacher and different comprehension activities, will then interpret the audio-visual documents orally and / or in writing.

ORAL EXPRESSION: The student will participate interactively in a variety of different activities conducted by the teacher, such as presentations, debates, mini-plays, etc. These activities will be carried out with different materials proposed by the teacher or the students, depending on everyone's needs and interests. Spanish Phonetics (pronunciation, rhythm of the sentences and so on) will also be studied.

This new program is based upon cultural elements as well as the language itself, thus adding a valuable dimension of the Latin American culture.

Short field trips will be hosted to different sites within Sucre or close by the city (markets, museums, cathedrals, historical monuments), along with dancing classes, cooking lessons, lectures, etc.

*We also have afternoon sessions from 14:00 - 18:30. Schedules are typically rotated from week to week. You will always be confirmed on Friday if you have a schedule change for the following week. Please be sure to inform school staff if you have limitations or preferences with regards to your schedule

You should bring a dictionary, notebooks and colored pens. It is useful to have 2 notebooks, one for new vocabulary, and one for the exercises in class. Textbooks and other teaching materials are provided, but it is advisable to have a good system of keeping your notes together.

Activities & Excursions
As part of the language program, we offer 2-3 organized activities every week. In addition, students will find a daily schedule of cultural events in Sucre and surrounding areas, locations of theaters, museums, festivals as well as tickets prices are available. Activities include: Visits to local areas of interest, dance classes, cooking classes, parties & fiestas, Spanish languages videos & movies, seminars & discussion groups.

Please Note: You may need to pay "out-of-pocket" expenses (bus fare, entrance fees, etc.)

Booking this vacation is easy and we accept most major credit cards. We require a deposit of $300 and a completed booking form. After checking availability we normally confirm a booking within 24 hours.

Arrival airport: Sucre or La Paz

Sucre: The airport is a domestic airport so you will arrive in La Paz or Santa Cruz airports and from here make your way to Sucre (either by flying or by taking a bus). Airport pick-up is INCLUDED in your language vacation fees when arriving at the SUCRE airport.

Since all flights to Sucre arrive in the mornings, you will most likely fly into La Paz on Saturday, and continue your travels on Sunday, to be in time to start your Spanish classes on Monday. It's not always possible to obtain the flight from La Paz or Santa Cruz to Sucre outside of Bolivia, so we can help arrange this for you!

Although we do not recommend that you travel to Sucre by bus, as it is a long, uncomfortable, cold journey, you do have this option. This is a trip over the mountains of approx. 17 hours, which costs $14. It's a beautiful trek over the Andes but you'll have to cross some high passes and the buses are old and cold!

"ARRIVAL PACKAGE":
(at an additional cost & must be paid in advance)

We offer an additional service for students arriving at the International Airport of El Alto in La Paz on the Saturday before the vacation start date. This means that we can provide you with an airport pickup at the airport, bring you to a hotel near the airport where we make a reservation for you in a private room. The next morning you will be escorted back to the airport and given a one-way ticket from La Paz to Sucre.

Upon arrival in Sucre, your host family will be waiting for you at the airport holding a sign with your name on it.
