About Us
Over 50 Years of Total Immersion
For over 50 years, the Total Immersion Program (TIP) has been used to help thousands of students and professionals interested in improving their Spanish-speaking skills.
TIP is unique because it closely follows proven research on brain behaviors that aid in second language acquisition and remains applicable to this day.
Three Proven Principles
Your experiences in TIP are based on three simple, proven principles:
Immersive Environment
Immersion in an environment where you can understand the language using the clues around you.
Low-Stress Communication
Opportunity to communicate with native Spanish speakers in a low-stress, low-anxiety environment.
Language & Culture
Exposure to the deep connections between the Spanish language and culture.
How It Works
The Total Immersion Program immerses you according to these principles, resulting in rapid language acquisition and acceleration of current proficiency levels.
Upon arrival at the Center, you will be evaluated with an oral interview and certain exercises that allow us to determine your precise level of language acquisition and the correct program placement for you. You are then placed with a host family and begin your lessons with our trained teachers. No more than 4 students are placed with a given family, providing you with maximum exposure and benefit from your total immersion experience.
