Course description

Are you looking for hands-on work experience to help launch your professional career? One of the best ways to impress prospective employers is to complete an international internship! Students appreciate the unique opportunity Spanish Institute provides through our internships and service-learning program.

Our internship program includes an intensive two-week Spanish Course for all two or more month placements. There are four hours of class a day and activities in the afternoons. During this time students get to know the city, the transportation system, the cuisine and they improve their Spanish skills.

Our Spanish courses are designed so that students reach an effective and operating level of Spanish in a short time, they concentrate on being able to think and communicate fluently in Spanish. These courses are the perfect opportunity to start learning or to improve your level of Spanish. The program goes beyond class hours, creating an environment with interesting activities and you are also in contact with native speakers. The methodology is participatory, intensive and mainly oral. The classes are fun and at the same time require the interest and motivation of the students.

After the two-week intensive Spanish course, you will be ready to start your internship.

With the option to either intern at a wide selection of companies, or to volunteer in one of many non-profit organizations, you will have the chance to gain invaluable work experience in the specific field of your choice. You’ll also get to practice Spanish, make new contacts and friends, and get to know beautiful Seville, famed for its deeply historic and cultural roots.

Internship and Service-Learning placements are offered as part of a study-abroad program or as free-standing experiences. They are designed to be credit-worthy with an integrated academic experiential learning course. Most placements require at least intermediate Spanish language skills, some require a higher level, and a small number are with entities that function in English or with minimal Spanish.

We have placements in many areas:

- BUSINESS
- HEALTH
- JOURNALISM
- EDUCATION
- TRANSLATION

School description

More than 5,000 international students have studied at Spanish Institute since it was founded in 1982. Students of all ages, teachers and professors, interns and volunteers have participated in our language programs which enable students to improve their Spanish as they learn to communicate easily and effectively in a short period of time. This wonderful, unique and enriching opportunity to live a cultural immersion in the magestic city of Seville is a life changing experience.

What Makes Us Different
One of the most important features that characterizes us is our personal attention every step of the way. From the moment you decide to come to Seville, to your arrival at the airport and during your stay, we will make sure you feel at home.

Another essential feature is that we work with an effective learning methodology that promotes fluency from the beginning. In fact, we offer training for teachers who teach Spanish as a foreign language in many countries.

In addition to language, we want to share our culture and history, our way of life to strengthen ties and promote understanding between different cultures.

One more feature to highlight is the quality from a human and professional point of view of our programs.

"Great Instructors, great experience"

Timothy Williamson, student from USA

The group classes were fun, and the private lessons are where I learned the most about grammar. The teachers and staff were always welcoming and had smiles on their faces. The facilitates are clean and bright and there is wifi... The activities were fantastic, with tours of the Cathedral, La Plaza de España, the Cathedral of Seville ("Catedral de Santa María de la Sede"), travel to Grenada and Ronda and various art museums and palaces. The housing was acceptable. Accommodations are sometimes sometimes at distance from the school, which causes some logistical issues. I had difficulty keeping up in one class for a number of reasons, but the school accommodated my educational needs.

The most common type of accommodation for a full immersion in the Spanish language and culture is living with a host family. Living with a family allows our students to fully discover the Spanish culture, life and people. At Spanish Institute we believe that this is an important aspect of the program. We choose families carefully and keep in constant contact with them. The family helps students to get to know Spain better and integrate them into the Spanish culture through sharing their gastronomy, talking and living together. On the first day they show students their way to Spanish Institute and everything the student may need to easily move around the city; public transport, places of interest, etc. We consider family involvement to be one of the most essential parts of the program that supports student safety and well-being.

In this type of accommodation you will share the apartment with other international or Spanish students. You will gain valuable experience and personal enrichment as you learn about a different culture firsthand. This will broaden your horizon as you will be open for and able to adjust to something different. Flatmates can be in constant contact with a language different from their own which is mutually beneficial. You will have a bedroom and you will share all the common areas of the house. When making your reservation, tell us if you have any allergies or specific needs. The accommodations we offer have been selected for their compliance with standard qualities and adequate equipment.
