Program Reviews

My week with Spanish Immersion Program in Tenerife was unforgettable — I still dream about being in that beautiful house, surrounded by an amazing group of people. The staff was incredible — each person so different, yet together they worked like a family. That energy made us, the students, feel completely welcomed and comfortable, which is so important when you’re stepping out of your comfort zone.

The classes were great, but the whole experience was what truly made it special. I’m a wine lover, and I honestly couldn’t have chosen a better program — the wine tasting was absolutely amazing, and all the wines came from the island. It was the perfect blend of language, culture, and connection.

I recommend this program to anyone who feels like they need more Spanish practice. I was exactly in that place — speaking was the hardest part for me. But after just one week, I feel confident enough to use Spanish at work whenever I need to.

You truly changed my life, guys. Thank you!

Spanish Immersion Program in Tenerife was a life-changing experience. I didn’t just improve my Spanish — I gained real confidence. Before coming, I was always afraid of making mistakes when I spoke. Now, I’m not! I know I can communicate, be understood, and keep learning — and that shift happened because of this program and the incredible team behind it.

Living with four native speakers is something I haven’t seen offered anywhere else — and it makes all the difference. You're constantly surrounded by real language, in real situations, and the support is always there. It’s immersive in the most natural and human way.

The classes were fun and effective — not too long, which I really appreciated. The food was fantastic, and the island itself was like a dream. We got to interact with locals every day, which made everything we were learning immediately useful and relevant.

Honestly, this program is worth a million bucks. If you're looking for something real — not just a course, but a true immersion that helps you grow — this is it.

My week with SIP Tenerife was truly unforgettable. The house where we stayed had the most breathtaking views — you could see the entire coastline, the ocean, and even the volcano in the distance. Every sunset felt like a gift, and watching it from the terrace with the group was a highlight of each day.

As a vegan, I was especially impressed by how thoughtfully the meals were adapted to my dietary needs. Everything was delicious, fresh, and prepared with so much care — I felt completely looked after.

What I loved most about the program was how every little detail was designed to help you learn Spanish in a comfortable and natural way. We had original and super fun games each day, and I especially loved the daily Spanish expression cards — they were practical, funny, and made it easy to remember new phrases.

This isn’t just a language course, it’s a full experience — and everything is so well thought out that you end up learning almost without realizing it. I would 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their Spanish while living an unforgettable week in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.

I spent a week with Spanish Immersion Program (SIP) in Tenerife and it completely exceeded my expectations. What really stood out was the amount of time we spent actually practicing Spanish — every single day was full of opportunities to speak, learn, and connect in real situations. It wasn't just about classroom lessons (although those were great too); we practiced Spanish all day long through fun activities, cultural experiences, and everyday conversations.

My favorite moment of the week was the hike in the north of the island with our amazing local guide, David. The landscapes were stunning, and it was such a great way to use Spanish in a natural, relaxed setting.

The house we stayed in was beautiful and very comfortable — the perfect place to rest and recharge after a full day of immersion. The food was also really good, with delicious meals that reflected local flavors and gave us even more chances to chat around the table.

If you're looking for a program that combines language learning, cultural immersion, and real connection, I can't recommend SIP Tenerife enough!

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!

First time in Spain and I had a blast! Alvaro put together such a great program, and that was the first one! We had all sorts of fun activities planned on the daily. We got to explore Seville In-depth and try out some pretty cool restaurants. We also ventured outside the city a couple times which was amazing as well. You will see a huge improvement in your Spanish because you are “practicing” most of the day. I can’t recommend this immersion program enough, Alvaro and his team really put together a great program!
