The structure of the Spanish course and Volunteer program in Ecuador:
Before diving into the local culture and dealing with specific tasks, we require our students to take part in the intensive Spanish course for a minimum of 4 weeks. This time is necessary to familiarize yourself with the new place, gain some fluency in Spanish, and understand the local lifestyle. You can choose to participate in group lessons, a combination of group and private lessons, or only one-to-one classes with your teacher.

Helping others!
A Spanish course + Volunteer program: what to expect?
- Estudio Sampere collaborates regularly with four social welfare institutions working on helping children and elderly people. Some of these organizations are located in the city of Cuenca, others in the countryside. However, if you wish to volunteer in a specific place or particular area, please contact us, we’ll be happy to find the right program for you.
- Students should commit to undertaking volunteer work as planned.
- Volunteer work allows you to face the reality of the country instead of just seeing what tourist brochures offer you. You will get a deeper understanding of how this society works and learn plenty of slang vocabulary.
- Volunteer work may go from four weeks to one year, depending on the association and your time availability.
- Whatever place you chose for your volunteer stay, you will be surrounded by grateful and open-hearted people!
