General Courses - SLI Segovia

Join SLI for a semester in Spain or Peru! The Spanish + Internship program is designed to combine language training with on-the-job exposure to professional practices. Through combining a Spanish course with a period spent in a Spain or Peru-based company, students are able to meet native speakers and put their Spanish skills to practical use, whilst increasing their awareness and understanding of international Spanish speaking business culture.

You can have Spanish language training in monumental Segovia (Spain) or in the Peruvian cities of Huancayo (in the Andes) and Satipo (in the Central Jungle of the Amazonia). Language training will be followed by a personalized internship in Spain or in Peru. You make your own program: It is possible to combine the Spanish language training in one country with the internship in the country.

The Internship Program is open to future professionals as well as to current professionals.

Students start by taking one of our Spanish courses for a minimum of 4 weeks, followed by an internship for a minimum of 2 months. Internships are programmed to last 2 to 10 months. Longer internships need to be discussed with an SLI Program Coordinator.

Beginners in the Spanish language must commence the program with a minimum of 2 months of Spanish lessons. All other students must take a Spanish test to determine their level of training on the first day of the program.

You will still have one-to-one Spanish lessons while you are doing the internship. This will contribute to improving your language skills and support and reinforce your professional practice.

Our internships are carefully selected according to student's interests, qualifications and any previous professional experience.

All of our internships are unpaid, but some companies do contribute to students' lunch or travel costs. This is at their manager's discretion.

If you are interested on the Spanish + Internship Programs, indicate this on the registration sheet enrollment form, and we will facilitate further information.

Remember that we can design a program tailored to your needs. For example, upon request, we can design an internship program that combines work in Spain and Peru. For more information, get in contact with us.

Your program will begin with full time intensive Spanish language training in a one-to-one environment (80 lessons per month) at our school in Spain (Segovia) or Peru (Satipo or Huancayo).

In Segovia you will learn Spanish in a monumental city, cradle of the Spanish language…. a happy, quiet and secure city!!! just one hour from the capital. This Castilian city enjoys a nice climate with sunny skies and a spectacular nature. It is also rich with cultural history, architecture, dance, music and much more to take in during your language training.

In Peru, you will immerse yourself in a rich culture where you will find the contrast of native Amerindian communities, the heritage of the Spanish colonization and modern infrastructures. Huancayo and Satipo are located in the Department of Junin. This Department is famous for its cultural richness and its history. Its colourful festivities are a mixed of their native cultures and the Spanish colonization. Huancayo is in the Andes mountains, while Satipo is in the Central Jungle of the Amazonia. In Satipo you will get in contact with native communities of the area such as Ashaninkas and Yaneshas.
