Our Spanish lessons are taught by friendly, young teachers who provide an orientation during the first lesson followed by a brief diagnostic assessment. The diagnostic assessment is geared toward determining which of level of instruction best suits your Spanish speaking ability.

Cloud Forest volunteers can attend for two weeks, while Quito volunteer can attend for a maximum of 12 of weeks. Those that choose the Cloud Forest project may elect to stay in Quito for the first two weeks in order to take advantage of the free Spanish classes before they begin their volunteer work. Participants who choose this option simply need to account for those two weeks in the cost of their stay (please review our Program Fee information for more details).

For those that choose to volunteer in Quito, the Spanish lessons are taught in the city, as well as in the Conocoto valley (just outside Quito near one of the volunteer sites). Typically, participants in Quito projects take part in the Spanish lessons in the afternoon after their volunteer work is complete.

These on-site Spanish lessons provide volunteers with the perfect opportunity to practice the Spanish they learn while volunteering. These Spanish lessons are optional and participants may choose to discontinue their lessons at any time.
