ASA: Academic Study Associates 2009 Programs

ASA in Tarifa Student Life

Spanish in España Tarifa consists of a month-long homestay combined with classroom based language study, daily activities and weekend excursions throughout Andalusia. Spanish in España is designed for students who have had at least two years of high school Spanish. The combination of intensive formal language instruction with real life immersion in the life and culture of Spain helps you to improve fluency and confidence in the language and gain an intimate knowledge and relationship with Spain. Through living closely with a family, students quickly become adjusted and find themselves speaking Spanish more easily than they ever thought possible.

The carefully chosen families that open their homes to ASA students are your key to accessing the Spanish language and culture. You will be treated as a member of the family and experience a level of cultural and linguistic immersion that goes far beyond the limits of tourism. Our experienced representatives have placed ASA students over the past eighteen years and are natives of the towns in which they live and endeavor to ensure an excellently matched family for each ASA student. Many families return year after year to host ASA students. It is a testament to the strength of the program that Spanish families and their ASA students often keep in touch long after the program has ended.
