Customs & Culture
INTERACTION WITH PERUVIAN CULTURE
In order to progress in the language while learning its theory, Llama Education can arrange for students to have the opportunity to practice in contact with the local Peruvian people.
Between 5 and 7 p.m. each Tuesday and Thursday, students can take free Salsa dance lessons in an authentic Peruvian dance school. Fellow dancers include not just other students, but local Peruvian people, who require students to speak Spanish.
Between 2 and 3 p.m. each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, students can watch (and even help!) prepare a meal. Our Peruvian chef, Maria, will share some very tasty Peruvian recipes such as lomo saltado, palta rellena, and the very typical Arequipenan dish: recotto relleno.
In cooperation with The International Association of Lions Clubs, we select projects in which students can volunteer to help the local (mostly economically disadvantaged) population. Sufficient knowledge of Spanish (at least level Chachani) is required for involvement.
CULTURAL EXCHANGE FROM AREQUIPA TO MANU
This intensive program lasts four weeks and is the latest addition to our Spanish course program.
Here, students spend three weeks in Arequipa, studying for a total of 70 hours; and then eight days and seven nights in Manu. Whilst in Manu students take two hours of Spanish lessons each day. In total there are 80 hours of classes.
A teacher from Llama Education who is familiar with Manu will travel with the student(s) and also act as a guide to the local area.
We work with one of the best Manu tour operators -- Atalya Peru, and their operator, Magdalena Ruiz, will also be in contact with your chosen Spanish teacher during your stay there.
Maria, may also travel with the group to supervise arrangements and ensure that you settle comfortably into your new environment.
CULTURAL EXCHANGE FROM AREQUIPA TO CUZCO
In this package students can combine their studies in two Peruvian cities, Arequipa, and Cuzco -- the empire of the Incas.
Students study for four weeks (two weeks in each city) and gain a certificate from the Ministry of Education. The Spanish Language Center in Cuzco is one of the city's best institutions with over 14 years experience in teaching Spanish.
This package includes:
Accommodation and meals with the founder family in Arequipa plus four hours of daily classes. And whilst in Cuzco students stay with a local family in accommodation including meals (brekfast, lunch, and supper); a private bathroom; and fours hours of lessons a day.
