Jaunted

The English-speakers should be prepared to speak English about 12 hours a day with the eager-to-learn Spaniards. Program participants have one-on-one conversations, play games, do simulated business calls, and participate in group presentations.

The program takes place throughout 2013 at four VaughanTown locations in Spain: The 4-star hotel, La Posado in Torrecaballeros, Segovia; a villa in the village of Valdelavilla near the Soria mountains; Hotel Izan Puerta de Gredos, a 4-star hotel in Avila, and the Sheraton Santa Maria de El Paular hotel, in proximity to the Guadarrama mountains. Volunteers can even choose where they want to stay for the week.

The English immersion program is named after Richard Vaughan, a Texan who founded one of the largest English language programs for business professionals in Spain. He leads more than 300 professional language instructors who teach executives at his centers.
