The language classes offered by Esteli Spanish Language School include:
- 20 hours of one-on-one Spanish language classes.
- Accommodations with a family in a village at Estelí.
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner courtesy of the host family. When you enroll at a "Home-Stay" class, a family from the community will accommodate you. The cost of enrollment already includes meals such as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Students can also join the family while they work on the fields or visit the natural attractions which can be found within the area.
Private Homestay with a Nicaraguan family is included in the "Learn Spanish in Esteli and in Granada" program and highly recommended as a part of the immersion process for rapid language acquisition. You have a private room and three meals a day in your own clean, secure, hospitable home of a Nicaraguan family who will help you feel welcome and at ease, as well as giving you opportunty to practice your Spanish. You may share your homestay with a traveling companion or group/family members and you can reserve extra homestay days before and/or after your program. (You may also elect to attend classes without homestay accommodations, or vice versa, space permitting.) In addition to a comfortable room and three full meals a day, your ESLS family will provide you with basic amenities such as a fan and bottled water. Many homestays have phones which can be used by students on a limited basis. Laundry service is available through your family though many students find they actually like to do their own laundry by hand in a Nica pila.(In Esteli, we offer two options of home-stay: with a local family or in the school, in where you will have the same benefits like 3 meals per day, a private room, etc...) |
