Summer Dates Still Available for Children, Teen and Family Programs
Ensenada, BC, Mexico – June 11, 2007 - Each summer the Baja California Language College allocates a number of spaces for children, teens and families to experience total Spanish immersion in Ensenada.
Spaces are filling-up faster than expected this summer, but some dates are still available in both July and August.
The program stimulates children's and teen’s natural curiosity through hands-on interaction, lessons, games, songs and recreational activities. There are several breaks throughout the day and all instruction is in Spanish.
"The family program works out so well because our campus is big enough to separate the kids from the adults and small enough so the parents are always close at hand," comments College President Keith Rolle. "It is extremely gratifying for us to see the youngsters having so much fun using Spanish to communicate."
Children 6-16 years old must have a parent or guardian either enrolled in a Spanish immersion program or staying in Ensenada. This is an exciting and rewarding group activity that facilitates and encourages greater family unity.
To further advocate parental participation, the Baja California Language College offers a 15% tuition discount when three or more immediate family members are enrolled at the same time.
Older teens may enroll without having a parent present. However, placement is granted on a case-by-case basis.
Mexican family homestays are also available.
Visit the webpage Children, Teen and Family Programs for additional program and application information.
Enrollment in these specialized summer programs is strictly limited.
“The Baja California Language College was the perfect answer to my recent challenge. I was about to head down to Baja in March of this year and participate with Amigos de los Californios in a two-week dental clinic for the remote mountain villages of Santa Martha and San Francisco. I was to be the receptionist for the clinic and my Spanish skills needed a swift boost.
I contacted Keith Rolle of the Baja California Language College in Ensenada. This was the third time I was returning to the school and since my time was limited, they accommodated my request for only three days of attendance. There were three students in my morning class and two of us in the afternoon class. This allowed for plenty of individual attention and opportunity for practice. A review of verb tenses and expressions helped my mind set and the speaking helped my tongue remember what to do inside my mouth to make the Spanish flow.
Teachers were knowledgeable about Latin American cultures as well as the Spanish language. Classroom space was beautiful, comfortable and close to wonderful restaurants and taco stands for lunch. Many of the classroom exercises and assignments were fun and excursions to La Bufadora and the vineyards in Guadalupe Valley provided enjoyable opportunities to practice our Spanish.
Living with a family is the best. I have experienced three different homes and all were excellent. Besides providing two or three delicious meals a day and comfortable, private bedroom accommodations, the “Mamas” are well trained to speak slowly and distinctly and listen intently. Your Spanish can’t help but improve in a very non-threatening atmosphere.
If you’d like to increase your knowledge of Spanish or learn to speak more fluently so you can better enjoy your travels in Mexico, the Baja California Language College is an excellent way to do it. View their website at www.bajacal.com or call our Discover Baja office at 800-727-2252 and ask for Carol. I’ll be glad to extol the benefits of the Language College. Feliz viaje!”
