I came to SIP Tenerife with my partner, feeling pretty nervous. Out of all the students, I had the lowest Spanish level, and I worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up. But after just one week, I can’t believe how much my Spanish improved—it exploded! Álvaro was so attentive to my level and always made sure I felt supported, which made a huge difference. Plus, being surrounded by students with a higher level actually helped me push myself more than I ever thought I could. By the end of the week, I felt like the gap between my level and theirs had almost disappeared.

One thing I really appreciated was how inclusive the program was for my partner, who doesn’t speak Spanish. SIP makes sure that partners are fully part of the experience. They joined us for every activity and had fun participating as the “Spanish police,” making sure the rest of us spoke Spanish throughout the day. It was such a clever way to keep the immersion going and to practice switching between English and Spanish—something I really value since I work with Spanish-speaking patients.

The week was so much more than I expected. The activities, the dynamic of the group, and the effort the team puts into creating a personalized experience made it unforgettable. SIP isn’t just about learning Spanish; it’s about growing your confidence, connecting with amazing people, and truly immersing yourself in the language. Highly recommend it, especially if you’re coming with a partner—they’ll have an amazing time too!

As someone who’s 50 and has traveled quite a bit, I can honestly say that SIP Tenerife was one of the most well-thought-out programs I’ve ever joined. From the moment I arrived, I felt cared for in every way. I have a specific diet, and the team went above and beyond to ensure I had delicious meals that fit my needs. That level of attention really stood out to me.

What I loved most about the week was the balance. There was plenty of structured Spanish practice, but also the freedom to rest and enjoy some downtime. The team was so thoughtful, always making sure we had space to recharge. I spent several peaceful moments soaking in the incredible views from the house—it felt like my own little retreat.

I also appreciated that the program wasn’t just confined to the house. The activities outside, like exploring the island and kayaking, made the experience feel dynamic and fresh. I got to see more of Tenerife while still practicing Spanish in real-life situations.

This wasn’t just a learning experience—it was an adventure, a retreat, and a chance to connect with amazing people. I’m so grateful to the SIP team for creating something so unique. Highly recommend!

What a week! I joined SIP Tenerife not really knowing what to expect, and it ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. The house was stunning, perched on a hill with breathtaking views of the ocean—I couldn’t believe I was waking up to that every morning.

The whole week felt like a perfect mix of learning and fun. We were always practicing Spanish, but it never felt forced. The team made sure we were comfortable and engaged, and I loved how natural the conversations felt. My favorite activity? Definitely kayaking! Paddling out on the water, spotting dolphins, and chatting with the group in Spanish was unforgettable.

And let me tell you, the food was amazing. The chefs were so thoughtful, always checking in to make sure we were happy and even adjusting meals to our preferences. Little details like that made the experience so personal.

I left feeling like I’d not only improved my Spanish but also made genuine connections and memories. If you’re thinking about doing this, stop thinking and just book it—you won’t regret it!

If you are looking for a top-rate Spanish immersion program, I can highly recommend this program, as I have experienced it firsthand. I had the luck of traveling to Seville, Spain and staying in a beautiful Spanish home with this amazing team. The team is extremely friendly and they are by your side the entire week. The dishes served were local cuisine cooked fresh in the home that you reside in for the week.... and they were delicious! All fresh ingredients with a lot of variety. The day trips provided were interesting, educational as far as learning about Spanish culture, and most importantly....fun! There are some small breaks during the days to learn spanish in an informal manner, but honestly, you are learning Spanish all day, as you are engaged in speaking to the team about every day situations and everyday life. The team also speaks English, so no worries if your Spanish is at a beginner level. I think a spanish student at any level of Spanish speaking would enjoy the immersion trip and return home with a larger vocabulary, increase in comfort level for speaking Spanish with native speakers, and new friends!

This program was a fantastic opportunity to enhance my Spanish skills, taking me from A2/B1 to B1/B2 in just a short period. Beyond language improvement, it also brought me incredible new friendships, a deeper appreciation for Spanish culture, and unforgettable memories. The engaging activities, professional instructors, and supportive environment made learning enjoyable and immersive. Now I’m even more motivated to continue this journey and can’t wait to join this amazing team again, this time in Tenerife!
