Learn Spanish & live in your private teacher's home around Granada with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including Spanish lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Spain. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one Spanish lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Granada. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in Spanish.
All of our teachers in Spain have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Granada, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.

This approach was a very good fit for me. The one-to-one teaching and the immersion were just what I wanted and needed. Ana and her husband were both wonderful. Ana and I did many things together, almost every day, and the 3 of us did things together on the weekend. I also got to meet and interact with several family members.
I loved being away from the center of the city, while having easy access to the center either walking or taking the bus. My bedroom was very comfortable, and I had my own bathroom.
The one thing that surprised me was that neither the school nor my teachers did any sort of formal assessment of my skills before my classes started. In hindsight, I wish I had given more thought to what my needs and goals were, and had more actively brought my own questions and my own perception of what my most pressing needs were.
