Executive Immersion Program |
This executive Spanish class was created for the business professional with an immediate need to communicate in Spanish. It is the most comprehensive immersion program offered at the Baja California Language College.
The fully integrated curriculum of the Executive Immersion Program makes it one the most effective and most demanding foreign language acquisition programs offered anywhere. The one-on-one instruction is six days per week, Monday through Saturday, for six and one half hours per day.
The majority of the instruction is in the classroom. Daily classes begin at 8:30 and end at 3:00. The mornings begin with four hours of core curriculum followed by two and one half hours of afternoon activities where students put the lessons into practical application.
The 39 hour week is tailored to the specific needs of each Executive Immersion Program student. A curriculum incorporating industry-specific terminology and concepts is integrated into the program. If desired, the College can coordinate meetings with Mexican business professionals in the same or similar fields. A student's exposure to their Mexican counterparts fosters a better understanding and appreciation of the Mexican business culture and the Spanish language.
The Executive Immersion Program can be taken for just a single week or up to as many as ten weeks. For students wanting to optimize their time in this program it is recommended they enroll in a five-week course. Most professionals in this program find it necessary to return to their respective businesses for at least one week during their study.
Past experience with corporations that have alternated employees in and out of the program indicate that three weeks of class, one week back at the office, followed by two more weeks of class has proven to be a successful balance.
All highly motivated individuals (from the small business owner to the plant manager to the corporate executive) have achieved tremendous results in the Executive Immersion Program.
Students who golf are encouraged to bring their clubs. The course at Bajamar is masterpiece that plays along the Pacific Ocean, about a 20 minute drive from campus.
Greens fees are not included in the Executive Immersion Program program.
All prices are in US currency and payment must be made in US dollars. The Baja California Language College accepts payment by personal checks, business checks and travelers cheques. Payment can also be made by money order and US currency.
The Baja California Language College does not accept credit card payments.

“I am a 56 yrs old female and have a Family Practice clinic in Florida. In 2010 I wanted to learn medical Spanish to assist the patients who visit my clinic from the USA and from abroad as I am located in a prime tourist. My previous background in Spanish was just one year of high school Spanish and I could only say a few phrases. After my first week at the Baja California Language College, and living with a host family, I was able to start talking in phrases to my patients with minimal use of a telephone translation service. After my second week of immersion 6 months later, I now rarely use a medical translation service with my Spanish patients and have even picked up some Portuguese phrases.
I am not always perfect in my conjugations and still have to ask “Como se dice… (how do you say….) sometimes, but my patients really appreciate my efforts and I am complimented on my Spanish language abilities! I have found that just attempting to talk in someone else’s language is a huge gesture of good will, and the way that I have gotten even better is to not be afraid to try! If someone is bilingual, it is better to approach them in their native language, and they also will give me invaluable feedback on my pronunciation and vocabulary when I ask them to please let me talk to them in Spanish for my own practice.
The travel to and from Ensenada, Baja California Mexico was very safe – I flew into San Diego and took all public transportation BY MYSELF each time. I walked through USA customs/bridge in and out of Tijuana and walked to the ABC bus station. In nice weather, I would walk the 3 miles from my host family’s home, or get a ride from them for a nominal cost. I also walked a lot around the town when not in school just to see the fabulous scenery. I would use an internet café a few blocks away from the house that I was staying in into the evening. The host families are all very nice with excellent meals and accommodations.
I would highly recommend this program to anyone of any age.”
