Learn Spanish in Mexico

If you’re eager to travel and learn Spanish at the same time, this immersive learning experience is ideal for you. You’ll get to practice your language skills while exploring the city and interacting with your host family.

Whether you’re looking to improve your Spanish or you’re a complete beginner, this project will suit your needs perfectly. Your lessons will be tailored to your skill level, so you don’t need to worry about having to keep up with a class.

It’s also a useful way to improve your Spanish if you want to join a project with a language requirement. You can study full-time before starting your project, or choose a language add-on, so you can learn while working.

This is a flexible project that is available all year round, from a minimum of one week. We recommend staying longer to hone your Spanish skills as much as possible.

Most days will begin with breakfast at your host home. This is a great opportunity for you to practice your Spanish and get to know your host family at the same time. All classes run from Monday to Friday. You will have evenings and weekends to explore with other Projects Abroad volunteers and interns.

The structure of your day will depend on whether you choose to do a standalone Spanish Language Course, or combine your studies with a project through our add-on options.

If you study full-time, you’ll have around 15 hours of classes per week. You can choose to have your classes in the mornings or afternoons. If you’re combining your language studies with a project, most of your day will be committed to project work.

There are two main aims to this project: providing you with a practical, insightful work experience, while helping to address issues affecting development in Mexico.

Many of the interns who join us are looking for hands-on experience in their field of study. We provide you with the opportunity to learn from skilled local professionals and gain first-hand insight into the issues facing Mexico. By sharing knowledge and experiences, you’ll participate in valuable cross-cultural exchange. This will help prepare you for your future career.

The goal of international development is to improve the wellbeing of local communities by working on sustainable solutions to their problems. On this internship, you can choose to focus on a range of different issues, from immigration to human rights. Working with local NGOs who have expert knowledge of the situation, you’ll contribute towards their efforts in protecting and empowering vulnerable groups of people.

Help to create long-term positive change in local communities on this internship, while gaining invaluable international development work experience in Mexico.
