Spanish Courses in Mexico

The Language Immersion School, Veracruz:
The Language Immersion School offers Spanish immersion programs in Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico for beginner, intermediate and advanced students. We are an American owned and operated school. We also offer English language courses.

We offer six basic programs, all absolutely highly serious and successful and all absolutely pure happiness. When you're having fun, you just can't help but speak. Those around you down here speak Spanish, and so you will too!

Intensive Conversational Spanish Immersion:

Subjunctive Intensive Spanish Immersion:

Have you tried to conquer the subjunctive but found it to be rough going? Or maybe you have tried to avoid it all together?

•Let us guide you step-by-step to master this (actually not so tough) verb form.
•We approach the subjunctive in conversation where it's much easier to see what's going on and how it compares to English.
•Step by step we work through a small set of preliminaries so that you are fully up to speed on all the prior knowledge needed.
•Then we move into an easy to use, very clear and specific set of rules that lets you know when to use the subjunctive and when not to use it.
•And all along the way we'll practice with you and practice and practice. In short order, conscious control over the subjunctive will begin to convert to automatic.
