All courses are taught in Spanish and you will be in class with other heritage speakers. You will live with a host family or in the Ovida residence hall in Oviedo, which will further assist in the speed of cultural immersion. Homestays in Oviedo are carefully selected to fit your needs. In-class learning is complemented by field trips, guided visits and other group activities included in the program fee.
