Learn Spanish with other internationals

An awesome way to get that study abroad feeling is to join other international students online! Group courses are your best bet because a) they’re more affordable and b) you’re most likely going to meet people from different countries and cultures.

Online classes allow you to learn via digital tools from native teachers, practice your communication skills, meet other internationals and join group discussions in different forums or online classrooms. It’s a great alternative to actual study abroad in 2021!

While you may not be able to volunteer overseas, maybe your existing skills, background education, or willingness to learn can help! NGOs and other non-profit organizations are still working hard, maybe harder than ever, to reach their communities amidst a pandemic!

Career Growth

Your professional experiences don’t have to stop because of the current situation. In fact, you can find so many internships or part time jobs online. Internships are a great way to grow your knowledge and skills, while still doing your studies or working on the side.

If you’re taking an internship remotely, why not intern with a company based overseas and get a cultural experience as well? Many of our online interns have even combined their internship positions with Spanish classes, getting to know the Spanish culture even better and to better relate to their new Spanish colleagues too.

One-to-one Spanish
