Young students say

I had one of the best time in my life when I did the Spanish language course. The school Spanish in Nature was amazing. The teachers were nice and teach very good. The activities we did after school were a lot of fun. For example, we went to Madrid and we ride horses.
Next year I want to come again, it was really nice week. And I have learned a lot in a week.
Alvaro and Esther, GRACIAS por todo, fue maravilloso!

I had 10 days to discover Madrid with my new foster family and friends from other countries and to be honest it was one of the best part of my summer holidays ! Every morning we had Spanish lessons in groups (depending on our level) and the afternoon we had amazing activities like cooking, biking, horse back riding … Next year for sure I am coming back
thank you Esther for those amazing holidays

The two weeks I spent in Spain are among the most memorable of my life. The program offers a unique opportunity to learn Spanish in classroom setting as well as by immersion, all the while experiencing Spain`s unique culture, attractions, histories and food.
The family is very nice and accommodationg, the community instantly makes you feel included and the surrounding mountains and forests are breathtaking. Not to mention the magnificent city of Madrid which you can spend days touring and Segovia ofcourse.
My biggest complaint is that I wasn’t able to stay longer!

I think that Spanish in Nature is a great language school, because I got a lot better at speaking, understanding and writting spanish,  and I leanrt in a fun way, that got me to enjoy the language more.
I really liked my host family, they were very kind to me, and I was “forced” to speak spanish, so that we could understand each other, so my spanish improved, even when I didn,t have to speak.

Amazing experience, it is a perfect immersion, fun way to learn with very good humor and nice and unforgettable memories. I felt welcome from the first moment. I will back next year.

Dear Alvaro, Esther and all the family. Thank you for the amazing time that I had here, for all the things I have learned, for the great people I met and of course for the delicious (vegetarian) food.
I hope to come back someday. I will always remember these two weeks.

Spanish in Nature is very well organised. I really enjoyed the canoeing, visiting Madrid, trekking, cooking and going to the cinema. I loved talking around the dinner table with the family and playing games.
Thank you, a great experience.

I spent two weeks at the camp with host family and had a memorable time there. In the afternoon we conducted a lot of activities as Spanish class. It was very bonding when our host families joined. I hope to come back next year.

Parents say

Sending our 14 year old daughter to Spanish in Nature this Summer, turned out to be great decision. She stayed there for 2 weeks and came home very happy and full of positive impressions. We didn’t want to send her to a big school, crowded with students and Spanish in Nature seemed as a perfect choice. We would highly recommend the school – it has a lovely family atmosphere and perfect combination of learning and fun activities. Our daughter was encouraged to use Spanish as much as possible. She gained her confidence in Spanish, while also exploring and enjoying Madrid, wonderful nature and meeting new friends. During her stay she felt safe and welcomed and would love to come again. Thank you Esther and Alvaro!

Our daughter Manon, who is an intermediate Spanish student, age 15, spent two weeks with Spanish in Nature this summer and she absolutely LOVED it. Lots of fun activities which were both educational, cultural and outdoors – and all of it completely in Spanish – was really amazing. She came back home speaking really well with lots of confidence. We cannot recommend enough: the welcome, the warm, supportive family life, the Spanish way of doing it, well – were all amazing. I would not hesitate to have my daughter Manon return there and her little brother is also on the list!!! She had one of the best times of her life (so little brother is keen!!)

Fantastic learning program in a wonderful location, excellent mixte of outdoor activities and city discoveries. Tailored made learning, great families to spend evenings and share memories with. I can’t change the rating to 5 stars…technoligical issue – but overall it deserves 10 ! Great organisation, small enough to be flexible, but very well organised. Thanks Again for Eliott who is now happy to speak spanish home (with himself I am afraid !). Expect to see Eliott back and our 2 other sons soon ! PLease not that We would be also interested to spend one week learning as a familiy – -starting from scratch for 4 members – + Eliott -. Many thanks again. Stephanie

When looking for a solution for my teenage girls (12 and 14) to study spanish in Spain, I came across the offer of Spanish in Nature. It promised (and kept its promise) to offer a learning experience in a rural environment, where learning in the school building one part among others. Afternoon activities such as horse riding, hiking, mountain biking or cooking not only offered fun, compagnionship and real life practice of the newly acquired language skills – my girls loved every single afternoon. The warmth of the host families not only made my girls feel super-cosy, but also were an assurance for us as parents, that the spanish in Nature camp was the perfect alternative for the early teenage age group compared to a school in the cities: Inspiration and outdoor activities in a beautiful surrounding instead of going shopping or to a disco as a highlight of the day (as it seems to be in many urban language schools).
My daughters took home a great alround experience, and obviously they have profited for their upcoming school year. Thank you Esther&family,

Como bien es sabido, la tortilla de patata es uno de los platos más típico de España, además de uno de los preferidos por todo extranjero que visita nuestro país.

Pues bien, mis hijas que están muy concienciadas con lo importante que es la comida para los estudiantes que nos visitan, han decidido hacer un vídeo casero explicando paso a paso su elaboración, así los estudiantes tendrán la oportunidad de aprender a cocinarla. Además han añadido un toque de contenido gramatical, escribiendo los verbos que han utilizado en su explicación.

Aquí podéis ver el vídeo Tortilla de patata paso a paso.

Últimamente se está hablando mucho del origen de la tortilla, parece que fue el General carlista Zumalacarregui. Se dice que solo disponía de huevos y patatas para alimentar a sus soldados y fijaos en que convirtió esos dos ingredientes, en una seña de identidad de la cocina española. Hay una teoría más reciente, que data el invento años antes en Extremadura, Badajoz, en la comarca de la Serena, una especie de pan, con harina, patatas y huevos que suponía un alimento saciable y fácil de conservar y trasladar.

Hay más teorías, ahí os dejo el siguiente enlace para que decidáis cuál os convence más, seguro que todas tienen algo de razón. Los orígenes de la tortilla de patata. 

A mi hijo se le movía un diente mucho cuando se fue a la cama. Se despertó en la oscura noche diciendo “mamá, estaba soñando que se me había caído el diente y lo estaba saboreando como un caramelo”. “No, no es un sueño, es real, se te ha caído el diente” le dije yo. “Mamá, ¿vendrá el Ratón Pérez hoy?

¿Sabéis quién es el Ratón Pérez?

El Ratón Pérez es el personaje que en España se lleva los dientes de leche de los niños cuando se les caen.

El solo no puede llegar a todos los hogares durante la noche, por lo tanto cuenta con un equipo de más ratones que le ayudan en la recogida de los dientes.

Siempre trabaja por la noche y nunca se deja ver, a cambio del diente te deja un pequeño regalito, normalmente una moneda.

El diente se deja debajo de la almohada, el ratón Pérez lo recoge y se lo lleva a su casa, donde vive con su mujer y sus tres hijos. Sí, tiene familia, su esposa es Katalina y sus hijos son Elvira, Adelaida y Adolfo, y viven en una caja de galletas en el almacén de una pastelería en el centro de Madrid.

El Ratón Pérez comparte sus funciones de recogida de dientes con el hada Tooth Fairy en los países anglosajones, con Petit Souri en Francia, Fatina Dentina en Italia y Ratai-Chi en algunas zonas de Asía Oriental.

El ratoncito Pérez (llamado así de forma cariñosa por todos) tiene las puertas de su casa abiertas para que todos los que queramos la podamos visitar, es una visita obligatoria si viajáis a Madrid con niños.

En Spanish in Nature, siempre que hay niños pequeños en el programa Español en familia http://www.spanishinnature.com/learn-spanish-for-families/, visitamos este lindo museo del Ratón Pérez.

Aquí tienes la web del museo http://www.casamuseoratonperez.es/, donde también hay vídeos interesantes para los niños estudiantes de español.
