Ready to truly Break the Bubble? This 2-week program is our most complete immersive experience. Designed for students who want to go beyond the basics, this course combines 44 hours of intensive language training with a fully integrated living experience in Orizaba, Veracruz.
At Malinche Spanish School, we don’t just teach Spanish; we provide the context for you to live it. Over 14 nights, you will settle into your new life, explore the “Pueblo Mágico” through 6 distinct methodological activities, and solidify your fluency through our signature Inside-Outside teaching method.
The “Inside-Outside” Methodology
This course is split into two critical components to ensure maximum retention:
-
The Inside (Classroom Focus): The majority of your 44 hours are spent in our downtown center. Here, we deconstruct grammar, polish pronunciation, and build the structural confidence you need.
-
The Outside (Real-World Application): You will step out of the classroom to participate in 6 guided field activities. These are not just tours; they are linguistic challenges designed to test your listening and speaking skills in real scenarios.
