Learn Spanish.JPG)
_small.JPG) Since Venezuela is a
Spanish-speaking country and English speakers are not very
common, it would obviously be advantageous to know some
Spanish before you arrive. However, you can quickly
improve your speaking skills in the volunteer projects. Most of our international volunteers speak very little
Spanish when they get here. It is quite possible to volunteer and learn
Spanish at the same time.
We offer guided conversational Spanish language
opportunities on a
regular base to ease your everyday interactions with the
locals.
Formal Spanish classes can
be arranged either one on one or in a group. Formal classes cost around
7 USD per hour, less if done in groups. You may also be interested in
taking an intensive course before arriving. We
encourage cooperative-living volunteers to practice their
Spanish around the Aldeas de Paz home with fellow
volunteers and local staff as often as possible.
