Host families
Mexican host families are considered one of the most important elements of the Total Immersion Program, because they provide the closest connection to the Mexican culture. The families are not seen solely as a host service, but as relevant protagonists in the student’s language learning. Many of the language tasks embody the family’s contribution via opinions or useful information obtained to complete language and cultural studies.
The selection of families has been made by taking into account important features such as level of education, economical position and holding an honorable role in the community, among other traits. In addition, families are trained by ATIC on certain linguistic and cultural knowledge in order to provide not only hospitality, but aid students in language development.
The Total Immersion Program offers an extensive list of families who have been welcoming students into their homes for years. They provide meals, language practice, and first-hand involvement in Mexican culture. The majority provide a comfortable room and bath of middle-class standards. Whether you come alone or with a friend, we will place you with a Mexican family glad to accommodate you. As different as they are from one another, all our families have one thing in common: unsurpassed Mexican hospitality.

Leticia, I am grateful for you and for having had the opportunity to live with you for three weeks. You were an amazing Mexican mom and an excellent chef. I need to take some of your recipes home with me. Sometimes, you remind me of my mom. There are times when I think about growing up and being as wonderful as you. You are so caring, full of wisdom, and talented. I want to come back and introduce you to my mom. Until then, thank you for all your love, for feeding me, and for accepting me as I am. <3
