The most rewarding and effective way to learn a language is to live and study among those who speak it.
STA Travel works with partner schools worldwide to offer New Zealanders the opportunity to study languages all around the world. Programmes offer tuition, accommodation, meal options, sporting and cultural activities.
You can immerse yourself in the local culture and study Spanish at the same time. Our Language courses are all about choice! Choose your destination, choose your course type (ask your adviser about more intensive courses) and choose the best accommodation option for you!
Homestay - Staying with a host family provides you with the best cultural insight into the local way of life, not to mention you get to practice your newly acquired languages skills as well as enjoying local cuisine with your family (depending on your meal option)
Student Residence - Usually located close to school, you will normally get your own room and shared kitchen and bathroom. These are a great option to mix with other students.
Shared Flat - Great for those who like a bit more independance, but still want the company of other international students.
