Let’s Speak Spanish: On Location in Río Sonora

Monday, April 13, 2020 - Saturday, April 18, 2020

La Posada del Río Sonora, Banámichi, Sonora

As a new addition to the well-received "Let’s Speak Spanish" program, BCA is offering a one-week program for Spanish learners to increase their “hands-on” experience with the language.

This five-night, six-day program will be held in the town of Banámichi located along Sonora River, which bestowed its name to our neighboring Mexican state of Sonora. Staying at the historic boutique Hotel La Posada del Río Sonora, we will meet each morning for four hours of structured language practice with an experienced teacher and capable facilitators.  Afternoons can then be spent exploring the town of Banámichi, meeting and conversing with native speakers, and exploring Sonoran culture. As a special treat, we also will participate in a cooking class to learn more about the unique features of Sonoran cuisine. We will also provide several afternoon excursions to interesting sites along the Río Sonora. Each evening we will meet as a group for dinner and have the opportunity to share our experiences.

 

This program is designed for established beginners and intermediate speakers of Spanish – learners who are familiar with the basics of Spanish pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, but need help in building confidence to converse in Spanish.  A good prerequisite for the program would be the completion of one or two basic Spanish courses, including BCA’s six-week "Let's Speak Spanish" program. It should be noted that all teachers and facilitators in the program will be bi-lingual in Spanish and English in order to provide the best assistance for beginning and intermediate learners.

 

The cost of the program includes transportation to and from the Río Sonora, accommodations at Hotel La Posada, all classroom activities / special learning experiences, and all meals.  The only cost not covered will be the purchase of the following text books for the program, which are available on Amazon (usually less than $15 each).

In order to provide the best experience for all participants, registration will be limited to a maximum of 14 learners.  

 

BCA members double occupancy - $1500
