Residential language school

[Igmum]

Has anyone any experience of these? DD13 is interested in doing one in
Spain (might even try this October half term) - part child care because I work FT, partly get her interested in languages (she loves speaking but finds the classroom bit a bind - family habit with all languages). I guess I was thinking of somewhere with fairly low pressure language and some fun activities round it so Mumsnet wisdom would be very much appreciated

there is one here in south england, which is a mix of games and learning. you will need to contact them for dates though as i cant seem to find them on the website x

oh whoops, i didnt read the 'in spain' part. sorry!

Thanks sleepismysupport I'll look in the uk too. Have you/ your DCs tried this? Is it good?

my nephew has been and enjoyed it afaik x

My DD did a 3 weeks in Spain after GCSEs. It really improved her Spanish but I wasn't overjoyed by their general safeguarding or their level of communication when she became ill. We might just have been unlucky, but I wouldn't do it again without us being in the same country. PM me if you want more info.
