March 7 – March 13, 2027 | 7 Days / 6 Nights

Stop studying Spanish. Start living in it.
You've done the apps, the classes, the flashcards. You understand more than you can say. The Language Lab is the week that closes that gap. Ten students MAX, one city, and one rule: from Monday morning, we speak Spanish.
Mornings, you'll learn in a small, closed class with a certified teacher at our partner school in Valencia. Afternoons, the city becomes your classroom: real missions you complete in Spanish, from the stalls of the Mercado Central to a paella fire in the Albufera rice fields. Nights, you'll come home to a Valencian host family and a table where English isn't on the menu.
In March, Valencia is counting down to Fallas, its biggest festival. Every afternoon at 2pm the city stops for the mascletà, a thunder of fireworks you feel in your chest. You'll learn the words for all of it, and use them.
Our teachers handle the grammar. We handle everything grammar can't.
Your week:
Day 1 · Sun, Mar 7 · Llegada. Meet your host family, walk the old town, and sign the pacto de lengua at our Cena de Lenguas welcome dinner.
Day 2 · Mon, Mar 8 · El mercado. Class, the mascletà, then the Mercado Central, where you shop for the group in Spanish.
Day 3 · Tue, Mar 9 · El Turia. Class, a bike ride through the Turia gardens to the City of Arts and Sciences, and an evening intercambio with Valencians.
Day 4 · Wed, Mar 10 · La Albufera. Class, then a paella class in Spanish where the dish was born, and a sunset boat on the lagoon.
Day 5 · Thu, Mar 11 · Cabanyal & valencià. Class, horchata in Alboraya, a Valencian mini-lesson, and a tapas crawl where you do all the ordering.
Day 6 · Fri, Mar 12 · Presentación final. Your final talk, your certificate, a 1:1 session with your teacher, and our farewell dinner.
Day 7 · Sat, Mar 13 · Hasta pronto. Closing circle and airport transfers.
Here are the details:
6 nights in a private room with a Valencian host family, with breakfast and dinner (boutique hotel option available)
20 hours of small-group classes at a Cervantes-accredited school, grouped by level
A private 1:1 session with your teacher and a written progress report
Placement test, four pre-trip warm-up sessions, and four online classes after you return
Daily city missions, a paella class, an intercambio, and a tapas crawl
Welcome and farewell dinners and select lunches
Local Spanish-speaking guides and a VIVA LA LENGUA host all week
Group airport transfers and a local transit card
Certificate of attendance and the VIVA LA LENGUA Lab kit
Who it's for: adults (18+) with at least a beginner-intermediate level (A2). If you can order a meal and make small talk, you're ready. A placement test confirms your level.
Your investment:
$3,295 per person with a host family (private room). Boutique hotel option +$1,295.
A $500 deposit secures your spot and automatically enrolls you in a monthly payment plan. Final payment is due January 6, 2027. Limited to 10 students.
*Please note: Flight is not included. Travel insurance is required.
