Volunteer Opportunity description

After many years of successful experience teaching Spanish and Mexican culture to volunteers and students, Natate, together with La Casa en el Arbol Language School, have developed a comprehensive "Mexican Culture Immersion" program for volunteers. This program provides a great opportunity for volunteers to learn or improve their Spanish skills whilst engaging in a wide variety of activities, interacting with native people, visiting important sites, appreciating local flavours, and discovering the fascinating Mexican culture.

The engaging dynamic, friendly atmosphere, and conversational approach to language learning make our classes enjoyable and effective. Our qualified and experienced teachers, many of whom are previous Natate volunteers, are eager to teach participants about the local culture as well as the language.

A wide range of study materials are used in classes and are included in the cost of the program. Additionally, volunteers will be assigned a small amount of manageable homework every class.

Our Spanish courses are tailored to students of all language levels, from absolute beginners to advanced speakers. Teacher rotation is also important to us, as volunteers will become accustomed to speaking with people who have different accents, voices, pronunciation, vocabulary, and points of view, as may be encountered in the Spanish-speaking world.

Cultural activities are an integral part of our teaching philosophy. We will give you a well-rounded education of both language and culture. Walking tours and visits to important sites and natural areas will be included in the program.
