Attention Gifted Students do you want to be exposed to another culture and practice your Spanish? A few years ago, a Gifted student (Milka Cerda) from HAHS participate in The Diverbo program and upon her recommendation I would like to provide you some information on it:
Speak Spanish in eight days in Spain.

Pueblo Español
Diverbo is all about full Spanish immersion! With expert staff, Diverbo facilitates short-term intensive Spanish courses. Whether you need to improve your grammar or fluency, the programs are carefully designed so that students are constantly being challenged to use Spanish in a variety of contexts.
Learn Spanish in Spain with Diverbo!
Pueblo Español is especially designed to expose Spanish learners to as much conversational Spanish as possible in an 8-day total immersion program. Pueblo Español activities’ are oriented and organized for a complete immersion in the Spanish language, while enjoying the people, its food and culture.
Think of it like a Spanish retreat, where phones and use of internet is limited so you only hear Spanish during your stay. In our Pueblo Español venues, you will be forced to speak Spanish or nothing…are you up for the challenge?
If your Spanish is a little rusty and you feel like you need to brush up on your grammar, you can sign up to a 16-hour, 4-day intensive Spanish course in Madrid the week prior to the immersion course.
Not enough time to get away from work? How about a 3-day Weekend course at Villa Inglesa to brush up on grammar and fluency. Contact us to check next date available!
