Spanish Immersion Retreat
As children we acquired our mother tongue (English, Spanish, Tewa, Diné, French, etc.) by listening to it and applying it in every day activities with our parents, siblings, friends and relatives. Since English has been the dominant language in the United States, many individuals remain monolingual yet may have never lost their desire to be bilingual.
For those of you who are ready to realize your dream, Bilingual Strategies Language Institute (BSLI) offers a week-long immersion program in either beautiful village, El Rito or Taos, in northern New Mexico. The wholistic language-learning approach offers intermediate learners the opportunity to experience Spanish in a safe and natural-like environment.
Benefits of learning Spanish.
The benefits of being bilingual are great. They give us the chance to build friendships with a wider range of people, read the literature of that language in its original form watch films in the language and be exposed to a great number of ideas and perspectives, and strengthen our cross-cultural-communication skills. These benefits also expand your career advantages and increase empathy and cognitive abilities. The delightful challenge is about training your brain to do something much more complex than memorizing new words and proper pronunciation.
Many of the participants in our immersion retreats have dabbled with Spanish, a class or two in high school, university or traveled to Spanish-speaking countries but never quite had enough time to immerse themselves a hundred percent in becoming fluent and literate in Spanish. If this has been your experience and you’re ready to participate in this endeavor, please join us for an challenging and exciting week with other adventurous individuals with the same purpose in mind.
