Learn Spanish & Live in Your Teacher's Home in Madrid with Home Language International

I really enjoyed the family I stayed with in Madrid (Redondo Family). They were very kind, made sure I had everything I needed, and pushed me to speak as much as possible. As a native English speaker, I was nervous that I would rely on English as a crutch- but this was not a problem as I was surrounded by people who wanted to push me to speak Spanish as much as possible all the time. My teacher made great efforts to address my specific questions and doubts regarding the Spanish language, even outside of "class" time. I was frustrated at my own inability to communicate fluently at times, but that is just part of the learning process. By the end of the trip, I was speaking noticeably better (even I noticed, and I am a hard critic!)
