Learn Spanish & live in your private teacher's home around Valencia 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 Valencia. 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 Valencia, 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.

I took a 15 hour course ....my wish was to have that in 4 days instead of 5.....and that was no problem
the teacher Carmen had a perfect pronunciation, because she was from Salamanca, a not bilingual city
although she was not a doctor, she did her very best to teach me the words I could be needing in my office
with her teaching , I do feel me now more certain to speak the language
her lessons were not boring , she tried to alternate and was very inventive
there was nothing i didn't like
I was living in Valencia with Paula Bibiana Tuset Rodriquez and her husband, Francisco. Paula and Fran are very nice. They offered to pick me up from the Valencia airport and then showed me around Valencia. Paula is a Spanish language professor and also a literature professor. She has an extensive library of many classic books. We enjoyed discussing literature, along with Spanish grammar. Paula provided formal and informal lessons. We visited many interesting places in Valencia. Paula and Fran went out of their way to help me enjoy Valencia and feel at home in their beautiful apartment. The accommodations were excellent. Paula is a very good cook. She is a wonderful, kind person with a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed staying with them. I would highly recommend the Language International program to others who want to improve their Spanish and have personalized attention.
